Turning the Arpeggio On/Off

Press the

I-ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button

to turn it on (the

The instrument enters keyboard performance standby mode.

When you press a key, the arpeggio starts at the same time, and the

I-ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button

blinks.

To stop the arpeggio, press this once again to turn the arpeggiator

off (unlit).

will or will not turn on.

I-ARPEGGIO [HOLD] button

Explanation

On (lit)

The arpeggio continues playing even if you take

your hand off the keyboard after playing notes.

Off (unlit)

The arpeggio stops when you take your hand off

the keyboard.

* You can use PART settings to specify the parts for which HOLD will or will

not be on.

* The I-

ARPEGGIO [HOLD] button

is either lit, blinking or off, according to

the settings of the on/off state for the button.

For details, refer to

“System Parameters.”

Selecting the Arpeggio Type

Here’s how to change the arpeggio settings for parts 1–4. Some

arpeggio types are heard only for one part, and other arpeggio types

play multiple parts as an ensemble.
Select the type that’s closest to the performance that you have in

mind, and edit the tones and parameters to customize the arpeggio.

Turn the

I-ARPEGGIO [TYPE] knob

to select the type.

* With the factory settings, changing the type will specify a suitable sound

(TONE) and volume (PART LEVEL). If you want to keep the current tone

settings and change only the phrase, set the SYSTEM parameter Arpeggio

Set Tone to the OFF setting.

Selecting the Type of Rhythm

Here’s how to change the phrase that’s played by the rhythm part (part

5).
Select a rhythm that’s closest to what you have in mind, and then

edit the tempo, drum kit, and other parameters to customize your

performance.

Turn the

[RHYTHM] knob

to select the type.

* With the factory settings, changing the rhythm will also set a suitable

tempo (TEMPO), sound (DRUM KIT), and volume (PART LEVEL). If you

want to change only the phrase while keeping the current tempo and

sound settings, change the SYSTEM parameters Arpeggio Set Tempo and

Arpeggio Set DrumKit each to the OFF setting.

Setting the Arpeggio Tempo

Here’s how to set the tempo of the arpeggio. For some sounds, the

tempo of the LFO or DELAY is also synchronized.

Turn the

[TEMPO] knob

to set the tempo.

Automatically Changing the Arpeggio

(PLAY DETECTOR)

PLAY DETECTOR is a function that varies the arpeggio in real time by

detecting your keyboard playing.

* If both KEYS and BEAT are off (unlit), the current loop performance is

repeated. This is convenient when you want to continue performing for a

while with the same accompaniment.

Changing the arpeggio according to the harmony you play

(KEYS)

You can specify whether the pitch of the arpeggiated notes changes

according to the pitches that you play on the keyboard.

* If you want to layer the sound of your keyboard performance without

changing the chord, turn KEYS off (unlit).

Changing the arpeggio at the timing of your playing

(BEAT)

You can specify whether the pattern will change according to the

rhythm inferred from the timing interval between the notes you play.

* The pitch of the notes you play on the keyboard is detected even if BEAT is

off (unlit). If you want to maintain the sense of beat while you play a chord

progression, turn BEAT off (unlit).
