[SF3] ARP CH
(Arpeggio Channel)
From this display you can set parameters related to output of the Arpeggio MIDI data in the Voice mode.
OutputSwitch This enables or disables MIDI data output for the Arpeggio function. When this is set to “on,” Arpeggio data is sent
via MIDI — allowing you to send the Arpeggio data to an external sequencer or play back the Arpeggios on
connected MIDI tone generators.
Settings: on (enable), off (disable)
TransmitCh (Transmit channel) Determines the MIDI channel through which Arpeggio playback data will be sent (when Output Switch above is on).
Settings: 1 ~ 16
[SF4] CTL ASN
(Controller Assign)

Details on each parameter are the same as in Performance Common Edit. See page 214.
[F3] SEQ (Sequencer)
[SONG] or [PATTERN] [UTILITY] [F3]
These special song- and pattern-related settings are available only when entering the Utility mode from the Song or Pattern mode.

playback in the Song/Pattern mode.

SmplPrCnt (Sampling pre-count) This is available when entering the Sampling mode from the Song mode/Pattern mode, setting the Type to
“sample+note” then setting the Trigger mode to “meas.” This parameter sets the number of count-in measures
provided before a song/pattern starts after starting sampling.
n Since the click sound is created with the internal tone generator, using click playback affects the overall polyphony of this synthesizer.
[SF2] FILTER (MIDI Filter)
From this display you can set which MIDI events will be recognized/transmitted via MIDI. The settings made here
