Arpeggio Settings Synchronizing an Arpeggio to Song/Style/Pattern Playback- Arpeggio Quantize When you play the keyboard to trigger an Arpeggio (page 20) along with Song/Style/Pattern playback, you'll need to play the notes with correct timing to keep the Arpeggio in synchronization with the other playback tracks. However, your actual timing may be slightly ahead of or behind the beat (or both). The "Arpeggio Quantize" function of this instrument will correct any slight imperfections in the timing (according to settings below), and then play back the Arpeggio appropriately. • Synchronizing at the quarter notes • Synchronizing at the 8th notes • No synchronization with Style or Song playback Although the Arpeggio Quantize value is pre-programmed for each Arpeggio Type, you can change the value manually. 1 Press the [FUNCTION] button. 2 Use the CATEGORY [+] and [-] buttons to call up "Quantize" (Function 042).
