You can save your current settings as an Arp Preset by pressing the ARPSAV soft button. If

you select a different Arp Preset before saving your current Arpeggiator settings, the current

Arpeggiator settings will be replaced by the settings from the preset without showing a

warning. Be sure to save your settings as an Arp Preset if you want to be able to recall them

after making additional changes. Even if you don’t save the current Arpeggiator settings as an

Arp Preset, the most recent settings will always be saved with the Program or Multi when the

Program or Multi is saved. Changing any of the Arp parameters will change the Preset to “0

Edited Arp”, to indicate that the previous preset settings are no longer being used.

State

Use the State parameter to turn the Arpeggiator On or Off. See

for an easy way to control the arpeggiator State in Program and Multi Mode. In a Multi, this

parameter can also be switched on using Controller destination 147 (ArpOn) and switched

off using Controller destination 148 (ArpOff).

Arp Mode

The two Arpeggiator modes, Classic and Step Sequencer, offer different means of shaping and

editing Arpeggiator patterns. Depending upon this mode, the ARP page will provide access

to different options and editable patterns.
In Classic mode, the ARP page will offer algorithmic options, as well as independent note-

Shift, Velocity and Duration patterns. These patterns are editable when the global

is set to Advanced. See

Classic mode parameters.
In Step Sequencer mode, you can edit sequences step-by-step, specifying Note, Velocity,

Duration and Beat for each step in a sequence. See

for details on Step Sequencer mode parameters.

Arp Mode can also be set to Off. In Multi Mode, set the Arp Mode to Off for any Zones

which you don’t want to control with the ARP ON and LATCH soft buttons (see

for details).

Tempo

The Tempo parameter specifies the arpeggiator tempo in beats-per-minute. If a specific

Arpeggiator tempo is saved with an Arp Preset, the Global tempo will be set to that value

when the preset is selected.
When arp Tempo is set to System, the arpeggiator will use the value set on the TEMPO

page in Global Mode (see

for details). For quick access to the

Global TEMPO page from any other page, press the left and right navigation buttons

simultaneously.
