[F2]: PFX (Play Effects)
These settings are related to Play Effects. The Play
Effects function lets you temporarily adjust the velocity
and the sound timing of MIDI notes. You can change
the playback groove without altering the original data.
Also you can apply various grooves to an arpeggio by
using the 100 different types of groove templates or
create your original groove templates. Different Play
Effects can be set to each track.
Press [F2], the PFX screen appears and [F5] (All) , [F6]
(TR), and [F8] (GROOVE) functions are added to the
screen. Pressing [F8] key opens the Groove Template
screen, where you can make your own groove
templates and confirm the contents of the preset groove
templates.
Steps for Setting the Play Effects

sequence [START] key on the panel.
If you want to use the keyboard (EX5/7) to start
arpeggio, you are required to turn the
Arpeggiator on by pressing the [ARPEGGIO] key
on the panel (or by setting the Sw parameter to
“on” in the ARP screen) before selecting the Play
Effects screen.

Play Effects can be set when the arpeggio is
stopped, and also can be set in real time when
