EFFECT

There are five effect parameters: REV TYPE (Reverb Type),
CHO TYPE (Chorus Type), VARI TYPE (Variation Type), VARI
PARAM (Variation Parameter) and VARI DATA (Variation
Data). For information about the three digital effects units,
see page 70.

REV TYPE (Reverb Type): Determines the type of Reverb
effect. You can choose from 12 types. (See the Effect Type
List in the separate “Data List” book.)

CHO TYPE (Chorus Type): Determines the type of Chorus
effect. You can choose from 14 types. (See the Effect Type
List in the separate “Data List” book.)

VARI TYPE (Variation Type): Determines the type of
Variation effect. You can choose from 62 types. (See the
Effect Type List in the separate “Data List” book.)

VARI PARAM (Variation Parameter): Determines the
Variation effect parameters. Available parameters depend
on the VARI TYPE setting.

n

If VARI TYPE is set to “Effect Off”, those Layers with VARI SEND set
to “on” (page 55) will not sound. When you don’t want to apply the
Variation Effect to the Layers, set VARI TYPE to “Thru”.

n

The Variation effect works as an Insertion effect in Performance
mode. (For more information, see page 70.)

For more information about each Variation effect parameter,
see the Effect Parameter List in the separate “Data List”
book.

ARPEGGIATOR HOLD

The ARPEGGIATOR HOLD function lets you play a chord to start the
automatic arpeggio then take your hand off the keyboard and have the
arpeggiated chord play continuously in a loop. Play another chord and
the automatic arpeggios will change accordingly.
Here’s how to activate the ARPEGGIATOR HOLD function:

1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [ARPEGGIO]. The Arpeggiator [] mark in

the LCD will start blinking to indicate the function is active.

2. Play a series of chords or notes.

3. To stop the arpeggiated chords, press [ARPEGGIO] again.

ARPEGGIATOR SPLIT

If you hold [SHIFT] and press the TYPE Parameter Value [UP] button
when the TYPE parameter is displayed in the LCD, the ARPEGGIATOR
SPLIT function will be enabled. A reversed type letter “S” will appear to
the right of the TYPE name to indicate the function is active.
The ARPEGGIATOR SPLIT function divides the keyboard at C3
(indicated by the [▼] mark printed above the keyboard) and lets you
play the arpeggiated chords on the lower half of the keyboard (below
C3) and play normal chords and notes on the upper half (C3 and above).
To cancel the function, hold [SHIFT] and press the TYPE Parameter Value
[DOWN] button.

TEMPO: Sets the tempo of the Arpeggiator in beats per
minute or to be controlled by an external MIDI clock.

Settings:

ARP Tempo: MIDI, 40 ~ 240 (beats per minute)

n

If you want to synchronize the tempo of the Arpeggiator with the
tempo of an external MIDI device, set the TEMPO parameter to
MIDI.

SUBDIVIDE: Determines the basic note timing resolution
settings of the Arpeggiator.

Settings:

ARP Subdiv: 3/8= , 1/4= , 3/16= , 1/6=

, 1/8= , 3/32= ,

1/12=

, 1/16= , 1/24=

, 1/32=

n

Arpeggiator data can be output as MIDI messages.

n

The Arpeggiator data is normally output as MIDI messages from the
MIDI OUT terminal. You can cancel MIDI data output by holding
the [ARPEGGIO] button when switching on the power.

PERFORM LEVEL (Performance Level)

This determines the volume level of the Performance.

Settings:

Perf Level: 0 ~ 127
