Arpeggio Mode

Track Section

These settings are used to set the Mute and Play Effects
Thru to “on” or “off” for each track even during
arpeggio playback.

■

1 Track Number

An arpeggio consists of 1~4 sequence tracks. The
Track Number is highlighted (box colored black) for
tracks that have been recorded on and contain data.

■

2 Mute

Sets Mute for a track, by moving the cursor to the
Mute line, and using Data Dial or [INC]/[DEC] to
select “on” or “off.” As shown in the screen, the box
colored black indicates that Mute is turned “on.”
When Mute is turned “on,” that track is muted
during playback, and the sound is temporarily
suspended. When Mute is turned “off,” only the
outline of the box is displayed, Mute is canceled, and
sound will once again be produced.

■

3 Play Effects Thru

Sets FxThru (Play Effects Thru) for a track, by
moving the cursor to FX Thru line, and using Data
Dial or [INC]/[DEC] to select “on” or “off.” As
shown in the screen, the box colored black indicates
that FxThru is turned “on.” When FxThru is turned
“on” for a track, Play Effects are temporarily by-
passed during playback. When FxThru is turned
“off,” only the outline of the box is displayed, the
FxThru function is canceled, and Play Effect settings
become effective once again.

When the cursor is on the Mute or FxThru line, you
can select a track by pressing corresponding TRACK
[1~4] key on the panel (EX5/7 only). You can directly
set the Mute or FxThru to “on” or “off” by holding the
[F1] ARP key and pressing the targeted TRACK [1~4]
key as far as the cursor is on the Mute or FxThru line.

4 Meas (Measure)

Indicates the Measure and Beat numbers for the
currently selected arpeggio. Allows you to set by
measures.

❏ Settings: The setting will differ depending on the length of

the arpeggio (001~016).

The sequencer [REW] and [FWD] keys can also be used
for rewinding and fast forwarding, and [TOP] key
returns you to the first measure of the arpeggio.

the time signature is accomplished in the Arpeggio
Record mode (page 245).

■

Sets the sound mode for the metronome (Click).
There are four modes, “off” (does not sound), “rec”
(sounds during recording), “play” (sounds during
playback and while recording), and “all” (sounds
always). This function is convenient for playing in
time, when performing or recording.

❏ Settings: off, rec, play, all

■

(Click) will sound.

❏ Settings: 1/4, 1/8, 1/16

8 Length

Sets the length of the arpeggio in measures. Here you
can set the length of an arpeggio to determine the
loop length that is actually played back. For example,
if you play back an eight-measure sequence data
with this parameter set to “4,” it will play back to
the end of the fourth measure, then return to the
beginning measure, and play back from the first
measure to the fourth in a loop (repeatedly).

❏ Settings: 1~16

■

9 Tempo
