page, 6.1: Ed–Arp., Arpeg. Setup page).
If “MIDI Clock” (GLOBAL 2.1: MIDI) is set to

nal MIDI device, and it will not be possible to
adjust the tempo on the TR.

the notes. At the center position (12 o’clock), the
note length will be as specified by the program
parameter “Gate” (6.1: Ed-Arp., Arpeg. Setup
