Punch In/Out (Song)
You can use this method when you want to re-record only over a specific area of the track. You’ll need to set the start and end
points before re-recording.
In the eight-measure example below, the third measures through the fifth measure are re-recorded.
n Punch In/Out Recording can only be used with Realtime recording.
n Note that the Punch In/Out method always replaces (destroys) the original data over the specified area.
Arpeggio
This function lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases using the current Voice by simply pressing a note or
notes on the keyboard. The Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords you play, giving you a
wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas — both in composing and performing.
n A single Arpeggio type can be played back at the same time even in the Performance, Song, and Pattern mode, enabling you to play multiple tone
generator’s parts simultaneously.
Category of the Arpeggio type
The Arpeggio types are divided into 18 categories as listed below.
n Keyboard Mega Voices
Normal voices use velocity switching to make the sound quality and/or level of a voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This makes the voices
sound authentic and natural. However, with Keyboard Mega Voices, each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different
sound. For example, a guitar voice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different voices having those
sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with Keyboard Mega voices, a convincing guitar
part can be played with just a single voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds.

addition, there are also Hybrid Velocity (“HybVel...”) types that feature different phrases for different velocity
ranges, letting you change the arpeggio phrase depending on how strongly you play the keyboard.
