You can store up to five Arpeggio types to each Voice/Performance/Multi. You can select the desired Arpeggio form the Arpeggios stored in
each Voice/Performance/Multi with the PAGE [E][F] buttons while playing back. Also, you can delete the stored Arpeggios.
Utility
In this mode, you can set parameters that apply to the entire system. This mode is actually a sub-mode of the Voice/Performance/Multi
mode. Press the [UTILITY] button in each mode to enter the Utility mode, and press the [EXIT] button after making settings to go back to the
previous mode.
QuntStrngth
Quantize Strength The Strength value sets the “strength” by which note events are pulled toward the nearest quantize beats.
A setting of 100% produces exact timing set via the QuntValue parameter above. A setting of 0% results in
no quantization.
Settings: 0%~100%
VelocityRt
Velocity Rate Sets the velocity rate value. This determines how the original Velocities are increased or decreased during
Arpeggio playback. A setting of 100% means the original values are used. Settings below 100% will reduce
the velocity of the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will increase the velocities.
Settings: 0% ~ 200%
n The Velocity cannot be decreased or increased beyond its normal range of 1 to 127; any values outside that range will
automatically be limited to the minimum or maximum.
GateTimeRt
Gate Time Rate Determines how much the Gate Time (length) of the Arpeggio notes is offset from the original value. This
determines how the original Gate Times are increased or decreased during Arpeggio playback. A setting of
100% means the original values are used. Settings below 100% will shorten the gate times of the Arpeggio
notes, whereas settings above 100% will lengthen them.
Settings: 0% ~ 200%
n The Gate Time cannot be decreased beyond its normal minimum of 1; any values outside that range will automatically
be limited to the minimum.
OutputSw
Output Switch 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. This parameter is only available in the Performance or Multi
mode.
In the Voice mode, you can set this in the “ArpOutSw” parameter (in the [UTILITY] Voice display)
(page 90).
Settings: off, on
TransmitCh
Transmit Channel Determines the MIDI transmit channel for Arpeggio playback data. This parameter is only available in the
Performance or Multi mode. In the Voice mode, you can set this in the “ArpOutSw” parameter (in the
[UTILITY] Voice display) (page 90).
Settings: 1-16, System TCh
n When selecting “System TCH,” the Arpeggio data will be transmitted via the channel which is set in the “TransmitCh”
parameter from the Utility.
