• Tone: At each step, a chord consisting of up to 12 tones
(Tone No. 00–11) can be sounded.
To input tones, select “Step No.” and then use numeric
keys [0]–[9], [–], and [./10’s HOLD] to input tones. The
“Tone No.” corresponds to the [0]–[9], [–], and [./10’s
HOLD] keys as shown below. Each time you press a
[0]–[9], [–], or [./HOLD] key, the corresponding tone
will be turned on/off. The horizontal lines of the grid
shown in the center of the LCD screen indicate the
tones.

Creating an example pattern
1 Set “Step No.” to 01, and press the [0] key.
2 Set “Step No.” to 02, and press the [1] key.
3 Set “Step No.” to 03, and press the [2] key.
4 Set “Step No.” to 04, and press the [1] key.
5 Set “Step No.” to 05, and press the [3] key.
6 Set “Step No.” to 06, and press the [1] key.
7 Set “Step No.” to 07, and press the [2] key.
8 Set “Step No.” to 08, and press the [1] key.
9 When you play the keyboard as shown in the illustra-
tion, the arpeggiator will begin playing.
Tone 0 corresponds to the pitch of the lowest key of
chord you play on the keyboard. (If “Sort” is
unchecked, it will correspond to the pitch of the first
note you play.)
0 For steps 01–08, make settings for “Pitch Offset,”
“Gate,” “Velocity,” and “Flam.”
“Pitch Offset”: This offsets the pitch of the arpeggio
note in semitones up or down. You can input the same
tone for each step, and change the “Pitch Offset” value
for each to create a melody using a single tone.
(☞“Melody pattern”)
“Gate”: Specifies the length of the arpeggio note for
each step. With a setting of Legato, the note will con-
tinue sounding either until the next note of the same
tone or until the end of the pattern. With a setting of
Off, the note will not sound.
“Velocity”: Specifies the strength of the note. With a
setting of Key, the note will sound at the strength with
which it was actually played.
The “Gate” and “Velocity” settings you make here
will be valid if the “Gate” and “Velocity” parameters
(Program P7: Edit-Arpeggiator, Arpeg. Setup page) of
the program selected in Program mode are set to
Step. If these parameters have a setting other than
Step, the “Gate” and “Velocity” that were specified
for each individual step will be ignored, and all notes
of the arpeggio will sound according to the settings in
Program P7: Edit-Arpeggiator. Be sure to verify the
settings of the program.
Set the “Gate” and “Velocity” by using the ARPEG-
GIATOR [GATE] and [VELOCITY] knobs to the cen-
ter position (12 o’clock).
A To change the user arpeggio pattern name, use the
“Rename Arpeggio Pattern” page menu command
(☞p.57).
B If you wish to save the edited user arpeggio pattern to
internal memory, be sure to Write the user arpeggio
pattern (☞p.58).
If you turn off the power without writing, the edited
contents will be lost.
C If you wish to save the state of the program at the
same time, return to Program mode and write the pro-
gram (☞p.56).
