Playing Arpeggios

1.

Connect an optional pedal switch (DP series etc.) to the
HOLD PEDAL jack.

2.

Press [ARPEGGIO] to turn on the arpeggio.

3.

Play a chord while pressing the hold pedal.

4.

If you play a different chord or notes while the arpeggio is
being held, the arpeggio will change accordingly.

When using arpeggios while the sequencer is playing, or when you
want to record arpeggios into the sequencer in real time, you can
synchronize the arpeggio with the start/stop timing of the
sequencer.

For details, refer to

“Arpeggio/Rhythm Sync Switch”

(p. 227).

1.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press [ARPEGGIO].

A screen like the one below appears.

If Performance mode is selected, (Performance) will appear at
the right of “Arpeggio.”

either turn the VALUE dial or press [INC] or [DEC] to make
the setting.

styles are kept in preset memory and user memory.

Value:

U001–128 (User), P001–128 (Preset)

This sets the particular note division and resolution in a “single

much of a “shuffle” syncopation is to be to applied (none/weak/
strong) to it (grid type).

About Arpeggio Styles

An Arpeggio Style is a series of data for basic arpeggio patterns
and chord styles recorded in the form of a grid consisting of a
maximum of 32 steps x 16 pitches.

fig.11-005

Each grid contains one of the following kinds of data.

• ON:

Note On (with Velocity data)

• TIE:

Tie (hold of the previous note)

• REST:

Rest (no sound played)

The keys that are pressed along with the sequence in which they
are pressed is referenced to the “lowest-pitched key during
input.” Thus, you can use a single Arpeggio Style in different
Patches and Performances at the same time.

A Arpeggio Style is not part of any patch or Performance, but
rather independent data; you can store up to 64 Arpeggio
Styles.
