If you are using the
internal sequencer, it's probably
best to leave this parameter set
to "resync arps & riffs".

The arpeggiator, beats and the sequencer are all synchronized to the same
clock (internal or MIDI) Although the arp or beats notes are synced to the
clock, they may still be out of sync with the downbeat or first note of the
sequence. This feature allows the arps, beats or both, to "resync" to the first
beat of the sequence when the sequencer is started. This feature also works
when receiving MIDI Song Start from an external source.
As an example, suppose you are playing the arps live as an intro to your
song. When you press play, the sequencer immediately starts, but your arp
pattern will probably not be on the beat with the sequence. With resync
on, the arps stay in perfect sync with the first beat of the sequence.
