Playing Arpeggios (ARPEGGIO/RHYTHM Function)
Selecting the Part that Will Play
Arpeggios in Performance Mode (Part)
Here’s how to specify the part that will use the arpeggio in Performance
mode. You can specify only one part for playing arpeggios.
If a rhythm set is assigned to a part in Performance mode, you can
play a rhythm pattern along with the arpeggios.
The part you select here functions for both the arpeggio and the
chord memory functions.
For details on the settings, refer to
“Arpeggio Settings”
(p. 105)
Value:
Part1–16
Hanging the Range of the Arpeggio
(Octave Range)
This adds an effect that shifts arpeggios one cycle at a time in octave
units (octave range). You can set the shift range upwards or
downwards (up to three octaves up or down).
For details on the settings, refer to
“Arpeggio Settings”
(p. 105)
Value:
-3–0–+3
You can also use a REALTIME CONTROL knob to control this.
Changing the Accent Strength
(Accent Rate)
When you play arpeggios, the velocity of each arpeggiated note is
determined by the velocity of the notes programmed within the
arpeggio style. You can adjust the amount (“spread”) of this
dynamic variation. With a setting of 100%, the arpeggiated notes will
have the velocities that are programmed by the arpeggio style. With
a setting of 0%, all arpeggiated notes will be sounded at a fixed
velocity.
For details on the settings, refer to
“Arpeggio Settings”
(p. 105)
Value:
0-100%
You can also use a REALTIME CONTROL knob to control this.
