U001–U128

Specifies the basic style of the arpeggio.

style by importing an SMF into an arpeggio

style. For details, refer to “Creating an Arpeg-

gio Style from a MIDI File (Import)” (p. 45)..

Hold

OFF, ON

Turns the arpeggio hold function on/off.

Variation

1–

Each arpeggio style provides several

variations (patterns). Here you can select the

variation number. The number of variations

will depend on the arpeggio style.

Motif

Choose one of the following to specify the order in which the

notes of the chord you play will be sounded.

UP

The notes will be sounded from the lowest

to the highest note you play.

DOWN

The notes will be sounded from the highest

to the lowest note you play.

UP&DOWN

The notes will be sounded from the lowest

to the highest note, and then back down to

the lowest note.

RANDOM

The notes you play will be sounded in

random order.

NOTE ORDER

The notes you play will be sounded in the

order you played them. You can create a

melody line by playing the notes in the

appropriate order. The order of up to 128

notes can be remembered.

GLISSANDO

A chromatic glissando will be sounded

upward and then downward repeatedly

between the lowest and highest notes

you played. Play two notes; the lowest and

highest desired notes.

CHORD

All of the notes you play will sound

simultaneously.

AUTO1

The timing at which each note will sound

is assigned automatically, starting at the

lowest note you play.

AUTO2

The timing at which each note will sound

is assigned automatically, starting at the

highest note you play.

PHRASE

Play only one key; a phrase based on the

pitch of that key will be sounded. If you play

more than one key, the last key you play will

take priority.

Velocity

REAL, 1–127

Specifies the loudness at which the notes

you play will be sounded. If you want the

notes to be sounded at the velocity with

which you actually struck the key, choose

“REAL.” If you want the notes to be sounded

at a fixed velocity regardless of how strongly

you struck the key, specify that value

(1–127).

Oct Range

-3–+3

Specifies the range in octaves in which the

arpeggio will be sounded. Choose “0” if you

want only the notes you play to be sounded.

Choose “+1” if you want the notes of the

chord you played as well as the same notes

one octave higher to be sounded. Choose

“-1” if you want the notes of the chord you

played as well as the notes one octave lower

to be sounded.

Accent

0–100%

Modifies the groove of the performance by

adjusting the strength of the accents and

the duration of the notes. The “100%” setting

produces the strongest sense of groove.

Shuffle Rate

0–100%

Produces a shuffle rhythm by adjusting the

timing of the notes.
With the “50%” setting, notes will be

sounded at equal intervals. As this value is

increased, the result will be more like dotted

notes.
