At the factory settings,
arpeggios stop playing
when you release the keys,
but you can also have
arpeggios continue playing
even after the keys are
released (p. 73).
When the Arpeggio’s
Arpeggio Hold is set to ON
in Edit mode (p. 87):
- the [ARPEGGIO] indicator
flashes.
- if an arpeggio is played
while a rhythm plays, the
arpeggio will stop at the
moment that the rhythm
stops.
