Using I-ARPEGGIO
I-ARPEGGIO is a completely new type of arpeggiator that uses AI to transform your keyboard playing into the ideal arpeggiated phrases.
You can use it to generate ideas for songs, or use it in your live performances.

Performance detection
Turning the Arpeggio On/Off
1.
Press the I-ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button to turn it on (the
button lights up).
The instrument enters keyboard performance standby mode.
When you press a key, the arpeggio starts at the same time, and the
I-ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button blinks.
To stop the arpeggio, press this once again to turn the arpeggiator
off (unlit).
* You can use PART settings to specify the parts for which the arpeggiator
will or will not turn on.
Continuing the Arpeggio Even After
Releasing Your Hand
(I-ARPEGGIO HOLD)
1.
Press the I-ARPEGGIO [HOLD] button to turn on (lit).
I-ARPEGGIO [HOLD] button Explanation
On (lit)
The arpeggio continues playing even if you take
your hand off the keyboard after playing notes.
Off (unlit)
The arpeggio stops when you take your hand off
the keyboard.
* You can use PART settings to specify the parts for which HOLD will or will
not be on.
* The I- ARPEGGIO [HOLD] button is either lit, blinking or off, according to
the settings of the on/off state for the button.
For details, refer to “System Parameters.”
Selecting the Arpeggio Type
Here’s how to change the arpeggio settings for parts 1–4. Some
arpeggio types are heard only for one part, and other arpeggio types
play multiple parts as an ensemble.
Select the type that’s closest to the performance that you have in
mind, and edit the tones and parameters to customize the arpeggio.
1.
Turn the I-ARPEGGIO [TYPE] knob to select the type.
* With the factory settings, changing the type will specify a suitable sound
(TONE) and volume (PART LEVEL). If you want to keep the current tone
settings and change only the phrase, set the SYSTEM parameter Arpeggio
Set Tone to the OFF setting.
Selecting the Type of Rhythm
Here’s how to change the phrase that’s played by the rhythm part (part
5).
Select a rhythm that’s closest to what you have in mind, and then
edit the tempo, drum kit, and other parameters to customize your
performance.
1.
Turn the [RHYTHM] knob to select the type.
* With the factory settings, changing the rhythm will also set a suitable
tempo (TEMPO), sound (DRUM KIT), and volume (PART LEVEL). If you
want to change only the phrase while keeping the current tempo and
sound settings, change the SYSTEM parameters Arpeggio Set Tempo and
Arpeggio Set DrumKit each to the OFF setting.
Setting the Arpeggio Tempo
Here’s how to set the tempo of the arpeggio. For some sounds, the
tempo of the LFO or DELAY is also synchronized.
1.
Turn the [TEMPO] knob to set the tempo.
Automatically Changing the Arpeggio
(PLAY DETECTOR)
PLAY DETECTOR is a function that varies the arpeggio in real time by
detecting your keyboard playing.
* If both KEYS and BEAT are off (unlit), the current loop performance is
repeated. This is convenient when you want to continue performing for a
while with the same accompaniment.
Changing the arpeggio according to the harmony you play
(KEYS)
You can specify whether the pitch of the arpeggiated notes changes
according to the pitches that you play on the keyboard.
* If you want to layer the sound of your keyboard performance without
changing the chord, turn KEYS off (unlit).
Changing the arpeggio at the timing of your playing
(BEAT)
You can specify whether the pattern will change according to the
rhythm inferred from the timing interval between the notes you play.
* The pitch of the notes you play on the keyboard is detected even if BEAT is
off (unlit). If you want to maintain the sense of beat while you play a chord
progression, turn BEAT off (unlit).
