Arpeggio Parameters
Parameter Value Explanation
Style
P001–P128,
U001–U128
Species the basic style of the arpeggio.
You can create your own original arpeggio
style by importing an SMF into an arpeggio
style. For details, refer to “Creating an Arpeg-
gio Style from a MIDI File (Import)” (p. 45)..
Hold OFF, ON
Turns the arpeggio hold function on/o.
Variation 1–
Each arpeggio style provides several
variations (patterns). Here you can select the
variation number. The number of variations
will depend on the arpeggio style.
Motif
Choose one of the following to specify the order in which the
notes of the chord you play will be sounded.
UP
The notes will be sounded from the lowest
to the highest note you play.
DOWN
The notes will be sounded from the highest
to the lowest note you play.
UP&DOWN
The notes will be sounded from the lowest
to the highest note, and then back down to
the lowest note.
RANDOM
The notes you play will be sounded in
random order.
NOTE ORDER
The notes you play will be sounded in the
order you played them. You can create a
melody line by playing the notes in the
appropriate order. The order of up to 128
notes can be remembered.
GLISSANDO
A chromatic glissando will be sounded
upward and then downward repeatedly
between the lowest and highest notes
you played. Play two notes; the lowest and
highest desired notes.
CHORD
All of the notes you play will sound
simultaneously.
AUTO1
The timing at which each note will sound
is assigned automatically, starting at the
lowest note you play.
AUTO2
The timing at which each note will sound
is assigned automatically, starting at the
highest note you play.
PHRASE
Play only one key; a phrase based on the
pitch of that key will be sounded. If you play
more than one key, the last key you play will
take priority.
Velocity REAL, 1–127
Species the loudness at which the notes
you play will be sounded. If you want the
notes to be sounded at the velocity with
which you actually struck the key, choose
“REAL.” If you want the notes to be sounded
at a xed velocity regardless of how strongly
you struck the key, specify that value
(1–127).
Oct Range -3–+3
Species the range in octaves in which the
arpeggio will be sounded. Choose “0” if you
want only the notes you play to be sounded.
Choose “+1” if you want the notes of the
chord you played as well as the same notes
one octave higher to be sounded. Choose
“-1” if you want the notes of the chord you
played as well as the notes one octave lower
to be sounded.
Accent 0–100%
Modies the groove of the performance by
adjusting the strength of the accents and
the duration of the notes. The “100%” setting
produces the strongest sense of groove.
Shue Rate 0–100%
Produces a shue rhythm by adjusting the
timing of the notes.
With the “50%” setting, notes will be
sounded at equal intervals. As this value is
increased, the result will be more like dotted
notes.
