Arpeggio settings—[F3] ARP Other
(Arpeggio Other)
By changing the timing and velocity of the notes, you can
change the rhythmic “feel” of the Arpeggio playback.
n
The Four-Part display cannot be called up from this display.
1 Unit Multiply
Adjusts the Arpeggio playback time based on tempo. By
using this parameter, you can create a different Arpeggio
type from the original one. For example, if you set a value
of 200%, the playback time will be doubled (tempo is
halved). On the other hand, if you set a value of 50%, the
playback time will be halved and the tempo doubled.
Normal playback time is 100%. This parameter can be
changed via the Knob directly.
Settings: 50%, 66%, 75%, 100%, 133%, 150%, 200%
2 Quantize Value*
Determines to what beats the note data in the Arpeggio
sequence data will be aligned, or determines to what beats
in the Arpeggio sequence data the swing is applied. This
parameter can be changed via the Knob directly. The
number shown at right of each value indicates the length
assumes that the quarter-note resolution is 480.
Settings: 2 60 (32nd note), 63 80 (16th note triplet), 6 120 (16th
note), 83 160 (8th note triplet), 8 240 (8th note), 43 320
(1/4 note triplet), 4 480 (1/4 note)
3 Quantize Strength
Sets the “strength” by which note events are pulled toward
the nearest quantize beats. A setting of 100% produces
exact timing set via the Quantize Value parameter above. A
setting of 0% results in no quantization. A setting of 50%
results in the note events being pulled halfway between 0%
and 100%. This parameter can be changed via the Knob
directly.
Settings: 0% – 100%
4 Swing*
Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to
produce a swing feel. Settings above 1 delay the Arpeggio
notes, whereas settings below 1 advance them. A setting
of 0 produces exact timing set via the Quantize Value,
resulting in no swing. Judicious use of this setting lets you
create swing rhythms and triplet feels, such as shuffle and
bounce. This parameter can be changed via the Knob
directly.
Settings: -120 – +120
5 Velocity Rate
Determines how much the velocity of the Arpeggio
playback is offset from the original value. For example, a
setting of 100% means the original values are used.
Settings below 100% will reduce the velocities of the
Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will
increase the velocities. If the resultant velocity value is less
than zero it will be set to 1, and if the resultant velocity is
greater than 128 it will be set to 127. This parameter can be
changed via the Knob directly.
Settings: 0% – 200%
6 Gate Time Rate
Determines how much the Gate Time (length) of the
Arpeggio notes is offset from the original value. For
example, a setting of 100% means the original values are
used. Settings below 100% will reduce the velocities of the
Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will
increase the velocities. The Gate Time cannot be
decreased beyond its normal minimum of 1; any values
outside that range will automatically be limited to the
minimum. This parameter can be changed via the Knob
directly.
Settings: 0% – 200%
7 Octave Range
Specifies the maximum Arpeggio range in octaves.
Positive value settings increase the octave range of the
Arpeggio playback upward, whereas negative value
settings increase it downward.
This parameter can be changed via the Knob directly.
Settings: -3 – +0 – +3
8 Loop
When this is set to “on,” the Arpeggio cycles while notes
are held. When this is set to “off,” the Arpeggio plays only
once even if notes are held.
Settings: off, on
9 Trigger Mode
When this is set to “gate,” pressing the note starts
Arpeggio playback and releasing the note stops it. When
this is set to “toggle,” pressing the note starts/stops
Arpeggio playback and releasing the note does not affect
Arpeggio playback. Normally, this parameter should be set
to “gate.”
Settings: gate, toggle
n The Trigger Mode “toggle” setting overcomes the Hold “on”
setting in the Arpeggio Main display (page 154). In other
words, even when the Hold parameter is set to “on,” pressing
the note start/stops Arpeggio playback when the Trigger Mode
is set to “toggle.”
