Playing Arpeggios (ARPEGGIO/RHYTHM Function)
Changing the Beat and Shuffle (Grid)
This sets the particular note division and resolution in a “single
grid” used in creating the arpeggio in an Arpeggio Style, and how
much of a “shuffle” syncopation is to be to applied (none/weak/
strong) to it (grid type).
* Grid settings are shared with the arpeggio.
For details on the settings, refer to “Arpeggio Settings” (p. 105)
Value: 1/4: Quarter note (one grid section = one beat)
1/8: Eighth note (two grid sections = one beat)
1/8L: Eighth note shuffle Light
(two grid sections = one beat, with a light shuffle)
1/8H: Eighth note shuffle Heavy
(two grid sections = one beat, with a heavy shuffle)
1/12: Eighth note triplet (three grid sections = one beat)
1/16: Sixteenth note (four grid sections = one beat)
1/16L: Sixteenth note shuffle Light
(four grid sections = one beat, with a light shuffle)
1/16H: Sixteenth note shuffle Heavy
(four grid sections = one beat, with a heavy shuffle)
1/24: Sixteenth note triplet (six grid sections = one beat)
Applying Staccato and Tenuto (Duration)
This setting (duration) determines whether the sounds are played
staccato (short and clipped), or tenuto (fully drawn out).
* Grid settings are shared with the arpeggio.
For details on the settings, refer to “Arpeggio Settings” (p. 105)
Value: 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, Full
30–120: For example, when set to “30,” the length of the note in a
grid (or when a series of grids is connected with ties, the
final grid) is 30% of the full length of the note set in the
grid type.
FUL (Full): Even if the linked grid is not connected with a tie, the
same note continues to sound until the point at which
the next new sound is specified.
Selecting Ascending/Descending
Variations (Different Ways of
Playing the Sounds) (Motif)
This selects the method used to play sounds (motif) when you have a
greater number of notes than programmed for the Arpeggio Style.
For details on the settings, refer to “Arpeggio Settings” (p. 105)
When the number of keys played is less than the number of
notes in the Style, the highest-pitched of the pressed keys is
played by default.
Value:
UP (L): Only the lowest of the keys pressed is sounded
each time, and the notes play in order from the
lowest of the pressed keys.
UP (L&H): Notes from both the lowest and highest pressed
keys are sounded each time, and the notes play
in order from the lowest of the pressed keys.
UP (_): The notes play in order from the lowest of the
pressed keys. No one note is played every time.
DOWN (L): Only the lowest of the keys pressed is sounded
each time, and the notes play in order from the
highest of the pressed keys.
DOWN (L&H): Notes from both the lowest and highest pressed
keys are sounded each time, and the notes play
in order from the highest of the pressed keys.
DOWN (_): The notes play in order from the highest of the
pressed keys. No note is played every time.
UP&DOWN (L): Notes will be sounded from the lowest to the
highest key you press and then back down to the
lowest key, with only the lowest key sounded
each time.
UP&DOWN (L&H): Notes from both the lowest and highest pressed
keys are sounded each time, and the notes play
in order from the lowest of the pressed keys and
then back again in the reverse order.
UP&DOWN (_): The notes play in order from the lowest of the
pressed keys, and then back again in the reverse
order. No note is played every time.
RANDOM (L): Notes will be sounded randomly for the keys
you press, with only the lowest key sounded
each time.
RANDOM (_): Only the lowest of the keys pressed is sounded
each time, the notes you press will be sounded
randomly. No note will sound each time.
PHRASE: Pressing just one key will play a phrase based on
the pitch of that key. If you press more than one
key, the key you press last will be used.
Action of a Style starting from the lowest note, “1-2-3-2” when the
keys “C-D-E-F-G” are played
When “UP (L)” is selected as the motif:
C-D-E-D → C-E-F-E → C-F-G-F ( → repeated)
When “UP (_)” is selected as the motif:
C-D-E-D → D-E-F-E → E-F-G-F ( → repeated)
When “UP&DOWN (L&H)” is selected as the motif:
C-D-G-D → C-E-G-E → C-F-G-F → C-E-G-E ( → repeated)
Adjusting the Velocity of the
Arpeggio (Arpeggio Velocity)
Specifies the loudness of the notes that you play.
If you want the velocity value of each note to depend on how strongly
you play the keyboard, set this parameter to REAL. If you want each
note to have a fixed velocity regardless of how strongly you play the
keyboard, set this parameter to the desired value (1–127).
For details on the settings, refer to “Arpeggio Settings” (p. 105)
Value: REAL, 1–127
