[LOCATE] key
In Sequencer mode, this key will advance or rewind the

SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key
This is the start/stop key for song or cue list recording
and playback in Sequencer mode, and SMF playback in
Song Play mode. (During recording and playback, the
LED will blink at the current tempo.)
These keys are also used to play an audio CD in the
CDRW-1 option or in a SCSI-connected CD-R/RW drive.
14. ARPEGGIATOR
These knobs control the performance of the arpeggiator in
realtime (
☞p.29).
[TEMPO] knob
This adjusts the base tempo of the arpeggiator and
sequencer. The LED will blink at quarter-note intervals of
the current tempo.
[GATE] knob
This adjusts the gate time (note duration) of the arpeggi-
ated notes. At the center position (12 o’clock), the gate
time will be the same as the “Gate” parameter of the
arpeggiator. Rotating the knob toward the left will shorten
the gate time, and rotating it toward the right will
lengthen the gate time.
[VELOCITY] knob
This adjusts the velocity (playing strength) of the arpeggi-
ated notes. At the center position (12 o’clock), the velocity
will be the same as the “Velocity” parameter of the arpeg-
giator. Rotating the knob toward the left will decrease the
velocity, and rotating it toward the right will increase the
velocity.
