Arpeggio related settings

There are several methods for triggering and stopping the Arpeggio playback. In addition, you can set whether or not

SFX sounds and special Accent Phrases are triggered along with the normal sequence data. This section covers the

Arpeggio related parameters which can be set in the Voice, Performance and Mixing modes.

The following three settings are available for turning the Arpeggio playback on/off.

NOTE

For the displays including the “Hold” and “TriggerMode” parameters, see MAIN display and PLAY FX display

of the Arpeggio Edit for Voice mode (

page 28

), Performance mode (

page 58

), and Song/Pattern mode (

page

83

).

NOTE

When receiving the MIDI sustain message (control change #64) with “Arp Sw” set to “on,” you can obtain the

same result by setting “Common Switch” and “Part Switch” to “on.”

When the ARP lamp is turned on by pressing the Knob Function 2 button a few times, you can use

knobs 5 – 8 to control Arpeggio playback. Try this out and listen for the changes in the sound. For

details regarding the effect of the knobs 5 – 8, see “Knob Functions” of the Voice mode (

page 54

).

Accent Phrases are composed of sequence data included in some Arpeggio types, sounding only

when you play notes at a velocity higher (stronger) than that specified in the Accent Velocity Threshold

parameter. If it is hard to play at velocities necessary to trigger the Accent Phrase, set the “AccntVelTh”

(Accent Velocity Threshold) parameter to a lower value.

NOTE

For the displays including the “AccntVelTh” parameters, see PLAY FX display of the Arpeggio Edit for Voice

mode (

page 28

), Performance mode (

page 58

), and Song/Pattern mode (

page 83

).

NOTE

For information on Arpeggio types that use this function, refer to the “Arpeggio Type List” in the “Data List”

PDF document.

Turning Arpeggio playback on/off

To play the Arpeggio only when the note is pressed:

Set the “Hold” parameter to “off” and the “TriggerMode”

parameter to “gate.”

To continue the Arpeggio even if the note is released:

Set the “Hold” parameter to “on” and the “TriggerMode”

parameter to “gate.”

To toggle the Arpeggio playback on/off whenever the

note is pressed:

Set the “TriggerMode” parameter to “toggle.” The “Hold”

parameter can be set to either “on” or “off.”
