Using the Arpeggio function
What is the Arpeggio function?
This function automatically triggers preset arpeggio phrases, riffs, and rhythmic patterns according to the notes you play. It
is particularly useful in playing dance, pop, and techno music styles. You can assign the desired five Arpeggio Types to
each Voice. You can also set the Arpeggio playback method, Velocity range and Play Effects to create your own original
grooves. What's more, Arpeggio playback can be transmitted through the MIDI Out, letting you record the Arpeggio data to
a sequencer.

Transmitting Arpeggio playback as MIDI data (via MIDI Out)
If you want to use the Arpeggios to trigger other MIDI tone generators or record the MIDI data of Arpeggios to a
sequencer for further editing, you can have the Arpeggio playback data transmitted as MIDI data via the USB/MIDI OUT
terminal. This is done by setting the following switch parameters to “on”:
Voice Arpeggio: Voice mode → [UTILITY] → select Voice display → “ArpOutSw”
Performance/Multi Arpeggio: select Performance/Multi → [SHIFT] + [ARP EDIT] → “OutputSw”
