TYPE
Specifies the relative position in the arpeggio pattern where the keyboard notes will play starting
from the lowest note played (which is L1).
If the number of keys pressed is less than the number of configured type (L) settings (i.e. if you
press only three keyboard keys for an arpeggio pattern that includes settings for L1 through L6),
the arpeggio pattern will repeat, playing the keyboard key notes one octave higher.
At any point the above causes the range of one higher octave to be exceeded, arpeggio play will
return to the L1 note automatically.
L1 to L8
Specifies the relative position in the arpeggio pattern where the keyboard notes will play starting
from the highest note played (which is U1).
If the number of keys pressed is less than the number of configured type (U) settings (i.e. if you
press only three keyboard keys for an arpeggio pattern that includes settings for U1 through
U6), the arpeggio pattern will repeat, playing the keyboard key notes one octave lower.
At any point the above causes the range of one lower octave to be exceeded, arpeggio play will
return to the U1 note automatically.
U1 to U8
Specifies how many of the notes played on the keyboard, starting from the highest note played,
should be played simultaneously.
When the number of keys pressed is less than the polyphony (P) value specified here, only the
notes that are played are sounded.
