place. If you want the arpeggio to sound using only the notes
that you actually play, set this parameter to 0. To have the
arpeggio sound using the notes you play and notes 1 octave
higher, set this parameter to +1. A setting of -1 will make the
arpeggio sound using the notes you play and notes 1 octave
lower.
