Beat Pattern
Select the beat pattern from the choices below. This setting
will affect the location of the accent and length of the notes to
determine the beat (rhythm).
Some settings will not be available depending on the
Style parameter setting. For details on the possible
values, refer to “Arpeggio Style List” (p. 268).
1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16 1–3, 1/32 1–3, PORTA-A 01–11,
PORTA-B 01–15, SEQ-A 1–7, SEQ-B 1–5, SEQ-C 1, 2,
SEQ-D 1–8, ECHO 1–3, MUTE 01–16, STRUM 1–8,
REGGAE 1, 2, REFRAIN 1, 2, PERC 1–4, WALKBS, HARP,
BOUND, RANDOM, BOSSA NOVA, SALSA 1–4, MAMBO
1–2, CLAVE, REV CLA, GUILO, AGOGO, SAMBA, TANGO
1–4, HOUSE 1, 2
If “PORTA-A 01–11, PORTA-B 01–15” is selected as the
Beat Pattern, the Time parameter (PATCH/CONTROL/
PATCH PORTAMNT) will control the speed of
portamento (p. 76). Adjust the portamento time as
appropriate for the playback tempo. (It is not necessary
to turn portamento switch on.)
Accent Rate
Modifies the strength of accents and the length of the notes to
adjust the “groove” feel of the arpeggio. A 100% setting will
result in the most pronounced “groove” feel.
Shuffle Rate
This setting lets you modify the note timing to create shuffle
rhythms.
With a setting of 50%, the notes will sound at equal spacing.
As this value is increased, the notes will become more
“bouncy,” as if they were dotted notes.
fig.04-15
If the Beat Pattern setting is 1/4, shuffle will not be
applied even if you increase the Shuffle Rate setting.
