Arpeggiator function

Regarding arpeggiator
synchronization
“Key Sync.” parameter
The timing of the arpeggiator notes depends on the
state of the arpeggiator Key Sync. check box.
If this box is checked, the arpeggiator will start
running at the first note‐on that occurs after you’ve
taken your hands completely off the keyboard.
If this box is unchecked, the arpeggiator will run in
synchronization with the internal/external MIDI clock.
Below, we will explain how synchronization occurs
when the Key Sync. check box is not checked
(Synchronization with Song Start and with MIDI
realtime Start messages are excluded).
Synchronization between arpeggiators
A and B
In Combination and Sequencer modes, the two
arpeggiators can run simultaneously. In this case, if one
arpeggiator is already running, and you then run the
other arpeggiator (with “Key Sync.” unchecked), the
second arpeggiator will synchronize to the “ (Tempo)”
based on the first arpeggiator.
If Key Sync. is checked, arpeggiators A and B will run
independently, each at their own tempo.
Synchronization with the drum track
If you want the arpeggiator to synchronize to the drum
track pattern that’s currently playing, uncheck the Key
Sync. setting. In this case, the arpeggiator will
synchronize to the beat of the drum track pattern that’s
currently playing.
If you want the drum track pattern to synchronize to
the arpeggiator that’s currently running, turn on the
“Sync” setting (the Trigger parameter of the Drum
Track page of each mode).
Synchronization between the arpeggiator
and sequencer in Sequencer mode
If song playback is stopped
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the “ (Tempo)”
based on the internal MIDI clock timing.
• If an RPPR pattern is playing in Sequencer mode,
the arpeggiator will synchronize to the beat based
on that pattern.
If you want the RPPR pattern playback to synchronize
to the arpeggiator that’s currently running, set “Sync”
to SEQ (SEQ P10: Pattern/RPPR– RPPR Setup page).
Pattern playback will synchronize to the “ (Tempo)”
timing of the arpeggiator.
While playing back or recording a song
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the beat based
on the timing of the song.
Synchronization with Song Start
• If the arpeggiator is turned on (ARP button is on)
and is running, it will reset to the beginning of its
arpeggio pattern when a Song Start is received.
(This is unaffected by the Key Sync. setting.)
• In Sequencer mode when Key Sync. is unchecked
and the ARP button is on, if you start the
arpeggiator by pressing a key during the pre‐count
before recording begins, the arpeggiator will start
its pattern as soon as recording begins, and will be
recorded.
Synchronization with external sequencer
playback
If “ (Tempo)” is EXT (i.e., if Global P1: MIDI MIDI
Clock is External MIDI or External USB) in Program,
Combination, or Sequencer modes, the arpeggiator
will synchronize to the MIDI timing Clock and Start
messages received from a connected MIDI device.
Note: Synchronization will occur in the same way if
MIDI timing Clock is Auto and MIDI realtime clock
messages are being received from a connected MIDI
device.
Synchronization with external MIDI timing clock
The arpeggiator will synchronize to the “ (Tempo)”
timing of the external MIDI timing clock.
Synchronization with MIDI realtime Start messages
If the arpeggiator is turned on and running, an
incoming MIDI realtime Start message will reset the
arpeggiator to the beginning of its pattern (This is
unaffected by the Key Sync. setting).
