Quick Start Guide
Using the Arpeggio function
Basic Structure (page 55) · Reference (pages 128, 165)
The MOTIF features a powerful and highly versatile arpeggiator that lets you automatically trigger preset arpeggios,
phrases, rhythmic sequences and special “human” patterns — depending on the keys you play, or even the velocity
with which you play them. You can assign the desired Arpeggio type to each voice or performance, and adjust the
tempo in real time as the Arpeggio plays. In the Song and Pattern modes, you can assign desired Arpeggio types to
each Mixing setup, for use in songs and patterns.
