Octave*

[1, 2, 3, 4]

Specifies the number of octaves in which the arpeggio will
be played.

If a user arpeggio pattern is selected, the range of the
arpeggio will depend on the “Octave Motion” (GLO-
BAL 5–1c) setting.

Reso (Resolution)*

[

, , , , , ]

Specifies the timing resolution of the arpeggio. The notes of
the arpeggio will be played at the interval you specify: ,

,

, , , or . The speed of the arpeggio pattern is

determined by the “

(Tempo)” and the “Resolution.”

Gate

[000...100(%), Step]

Specifies the length (gate time) of each note in the arpeggio.
000–100(%):

Each note will be played with the specified gate

time.
Step:

This is available when a user arpeggio pattern U000 –

U250

is selected for “Pattern.” When this is selected, the gate

time specified for each step will be used.

The gate time can also be controlled by the REALTIME
CONTROLS C-mode [ARP-GATE] knob. Rotating the knob
toward the left will shorten the gate time, and rotating it
toward the right will lengthen the gate time. When the knob
is at the 12 o’clock position, the gate time will be as specified
here.

Velocity

[001...127, Key, Step]

Specifies the velocity of the notes in the arpeggio.
001–127:

Each note will sound with the specified velocity

value.
Key:

Each note will sound with the velocity value at which

it was actually played.
Step:

This is available when a user arpeggio pattern U000–

U250

is selected for “Pattern.” When this is selected, the

velocity specified for each step will be used.

The velocity can also be controlled by the REALTIME CON-
TROLS C-mode [ARP-VELOCITY] knob. Rotating the knob
toward the left will decrease the velocity, and rotating it
toward the right will increase the velocity. When the knob is
at the 12 o’clock position, the velocity will be as specified
here.

Swing

[–100...+100(%)]

This parameter shifts the timing of the odd-numbered notes
of the arpeggio.

Sort*

[Off, On]

This specifies the order in which the notes you press will be
arpeggiated.

On (checked):

Notes will be arpeggiated in the order of their

pitch, regardless of the order in which you pressed them.
Off (unchecked):

Notes will be arpeggiated in the order in

which you pressed them.

Latch*

[Off, On]

Specifies whether or not the arpeggio will continue playing
after you take your hand off the keyboard.
On (checked):

The arpeggio will continue playing after you

remove your hand from the keyboard.
Off (unchecked):

The arpeggio will stop when you remove

your hand from the keyboard.

Key Sync.*

[Off, On]

Specifies whether the arpeggio pattern will begin when you
press a key, or whether it will always follow the “ (Tempo)”
setting.
On (checked):

The arpeggio pattern will start playing from

the beginning when a note-on occurs from a condition
where no keys are pressed. This setting is suitable when you
are playing in realtime and want the arpeggio to play from
the beginning of the measure.
Off (unchecked):

The arpeggio pattern will always play

according to the “

(Tempo) .”

Keyboard*

[Off, On]

This specifies whether the notes you play on the keyboard
will be sounded as usual in addition to being sounded as
part of the arpeggio.
On (checked):

The notes you play will be sounded on their

own, in addition to being sounded as part of the arpeggio.
For example if you simultaneously press two or more notes,
they will be sounded as usual in addition to being played as
arpeggiated notes.
Off (unchecked):

Only the arpeggiated notes will be heard.

* These parameters can also be set in “0–3: Arp. Play”
