selected simultaneously as well as only one of the two.

Normal mode (1)
When this mode is set, the arpeggiator works as it did with the Roland code. If the up direction is
selected, notes are played in lowest note held to highest note held. If down is selected, the notes are
played in highest note held to lowest note held. Up/down and down/up modes cause the notes to follow
their respective directions.
Ordered mode (2)

Ordered mode (2)
Ordered arpeggiator mode causes arpeggiation to occur in the order the notes were played or recorded. If
the up direction is selected, notes are played in first note played to last note played order. Conversely, if
the down direction is selected, notes are played in the last note played to first note played order.
Up/down and down/up modes cause the notes to follow their respective directions.

UP mode is selected:

DOWN reverses this order and up/down and down/up modes cause the notes to follow as
expected.
