19. ARPEG. A SYNTH/VOCODER
TEMPO [20...300]
Specifies the tempo of the arpeggio.
Increasing this value will speed up
the arpeggio tempo.
If MIDI "CLOCK" is set to Exter-
nal, or if it is set to Auto when
there is an external input, this
setting will be ignored and the
arpeggiator will synchronize to
the external MIDI Clock.
RESOLUTION [1/24...1/4]
Specifies the resolution (spacing of
the notes) relative to the tempo
specified by "TEMPO." (p.65)
1/24 ( ):
The arpeggio will be played as six-
teenth note triplets of the specified
tempo.
1/16 ( ):
The arpeggio will be played as six-
teenth notes of the specified tempo.
1/12 ( ):
The arpeggio will be played as
eighth note triplets of the specified
tempo.
1/8 ( ):
The arpeggio will be played as
eighth notes of the specified tempo.
1/6 ( ):
The arpeggio will be played as
quarter note triplets of the specified
tempo.
1/4 ( ):
The arpeggio will be played as
quarter notes of the specified
tempo.
GATE [0...100]
Specifies the duration (gate time) of
the arpeggiated notes, as a percent-
age (%).
With a setting of 0, each note will
be extremely short.
With set to 100, each note will con-
tinue playing until the next step.
TYPE [Up, Down, Alternate 1,
Alternate 2, Random, Trigger]
Selects the arpeggio type. (Figure
19-1)
Up ( ):
Notes will be played consecutively
from low to high pitches.
Down ( ):
Notes will be played consecutively
from high to low pitches.
Alternate 1 ( ):
Up and Down will be alternated.
(The highest and lowest notes will
be sounded once.)
Alternate 2 ( ):
Up and Down will be alternated.
(The highest and lowest notes will
be sounded twice.)

Here you can make various arpeggio-related settings. "TYPE" (knob 4 ) selects the arpeggio type. "TEMPO" sets the tempo of the arpeggiator,
and "RESOLUTION" (knob 2 ) specifies the spacing of the notes relative to the tempo. "GATE (knob 3 ) sets the duration of the arpeggiated
notes, and "RANGE" (knob 5 ) specifies the range of pitch (one to four octaves, in one-octave steps) in which the arpeggio will be played. You
may hold down as many keys as you like to create an arpeggiated program.

than the maximum polyphony of
the timbre, the lowest pitches you are
holding down will be played, up to the
maximum polyphony.
