Playing sounds
The SH-201’s arpeggiator lets you produce an arpeggio in the style you select simply by pressing a chord on the
keyboard.
Press the ON button so its indicator is lit; the arpeggiator will be
turned on.
When you press a chord on the keyboard, an arpeggio will play
according to the settings stored in each patch.
If you press the ON button once again so the button’s indicator
is blinking, the arpeggiator’s Hold function is turned on.
When you press a chord on the keyboard, an arpeggio will play
according to the settings stored in each patch, and will continue
playing even if you take your hand off the keyboard. When you
play a new chord, the arpeggio will also change.
To stop the arpeggio, turn off the arpeggiator.
To turn off the arpeggiator, press the ON button so its light goes
off.
Changing the arpeggio tempo
TEMPO buttons
Use these to specify the tempo of the arpeggiator.
Press the upper (
) button to make the tempo faster, or press the
lower (

TAP button
You can set the tempo by pressing this button three or more
times at quarter-note intervals of the desired tempo.
* The TAP button’s indicator will always be blinking at quarter-note
intervals of the arpeggio and recorder tempo (p. 24).

Playing arpeggios (ON/HOLD)
Playing arpeggios via MIDI
Normally, you can use the arpeggiator only from the SH-201’s own keyboard.
If you want to play the SH-201’s arpeggiator via note messages from your external sequencer or sequencer
software, set the KEYBOARD parameter (p. 69) REMOTE KEYBOARD to the “ON” setting.
