Using the Arpeggio Function
The Arpeggio function lets you trigger rhythm patterns, riffs and phrases using the current Voice by simply playing notes
on the keyboard. In the Performance mode, each of four Arpeggio types is assigned to each of four Parts. This means
four Arpeggio types can be played back simultaneously. Try selecting different Performances and check out the various
Arpeggio types.
NOTE:
For details about Arpeggio, see page 7.
Since the preset Performances already have their own Arpeggio types pre-
assigned, you can play the Arpeggio by selecting the desired Performance,
turning on the [ARP ON/OFF] button, then pressing any note.
Instructions on using Arpeggio are basically the same as in the Voice mode
(page 32).
You can switch the Part on/off by using the [PART ARP] 1 – 4 buttons in the
Performance Control buttons.
You can turn the Arpeggio Hold parameter (page 84) on or off for each Part of the Performance by using the [HOLD] 1 –
4 buttons. When the Arpeggio Hold parameter is set to “on,” the Arpeggio playback continues even if the note is
released.
Using Knobs
One of the more powerful performance features of the S90 XS/S70 XS is its extensive set of real-time controls—
especially the Knobs. These let you adjust a variety of parameters for the current Performance, such as effect depth,
attack/release characteristics, tonal color, and others. These real-time controls can be used to change the sound as you
play or to quickly edit and customize the Performance.
The function assigned to each knob affects the Part selected via the [COMMON] button or [PART SELECT] 1 – 4 buttons
in the Performance Control buttons. You can change the function by using the Knob Function buttons.
1 Select the function setting to be assigned to the Knobs.
Press the Knob Function buttons several times to select the function assigned to the Knobs. Each time the button is
pressed, the lamp lights alternatively in the following order: TONE, EG, EQ, EFFECT, and MIC. The functions
assigned to the Knobs are changed according to the lamp status.
2 Change tonal color.
Moving the Knobs changes various aspects of the Voice’s sound in real time—while you play. The same functions as
Voice mode are assigned to the Knob 1 – 4. For details, see page 29.
NOTE:
When pressing the [COMMON] button, each function assigned to the knob is applied to all the Parts. By pressing the one of the
[PART SELECT] 1 – 4 buttons, Knob operations will be applied only to the selected Part. Note that the parameters assigned to
ASSIGN 1/2 and EFFECT of TONE are always applied to all the Parts.
