Arpeggiator Classic Mode Parameters
7-61
Key Range (Low Key and High Key)
The Arpeggiator processes notes within the range of these parameters. Notes outside the
specified range play normally, and do not become part of the arpeggiation sequence. When
the Low Key or High Key parameter is selected, you can easily set the value by holding the
Enter button and striking the desired key. Key Range is not saved with each Arp Preset, but
instead is saved as part of each program (or Multi Zone). This allows you to try different
presets while maintaining the same Key Range.

Beats
The Beats parameter sets the number of notes per beat. The tempo is based on quarter notes.
Therefore, if you set Beats to 1/4, you will get one note per beat of the clock. At 1/16, you
will get 4 notes per beat, and so forth. The maximum value is 96 notes per beat (1/384), but
at most tempos, divisions smaller than 1/64 will sound pretty much the same.
To find a Beats value, multiply the notes you want per beat by 4. For example, 4 notes per
beat (16th notes) would be 4*4=16, a Beats value of 1/16. Three notes per beat (8th note
triplets) would be 3*4=12, a Beats value of 1/12. Six notes per beat (16th note triplets)
would be 6*4=24, a Beats value of 1/24.
