Arpeggio playback types

There are three main Arpeggio playback types as described below.

Arpeggios for Normal Parts

Arpeggio types (belonging to all categories except for Drum/Perc and a part of Control/HybridSeq)
created for use of Normal Parts have the following three playback types.
Playback of played notes only
The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note(s) and octave notes.

Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played notes

These Arpeggio types have the several sequences each of which is suited for a certain chord type. Even if
you press only one note, the Arpeggio is played back using the programmed sequence— meaning that
notes other than the ones you play may be sounded. Pressing another note triggers a transposed
sequence using the pressed note as the new root note. Adding notes to those already held changes the
sequence accordingly. Arpeggios with this playback type have "_N" at the end of the type name.
Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played chord
These Arpeggio types created for use with Normal Parts are played back to match the chord type
determined by detecting the notes you play on the keyboard. Arpeggios with this playback type have "_C"
at the end of the type name.
NOTE When the "Key Mode" parameter is set to "Sort" or "Sort+Drct," the same sequence is played back no matter
what order you play the notes. When the "Key Mode" parameter is set to "Thru" or "Thru+Drct," a different
sequence is played back depending on the order you play the notes.
NOTE Since these types are programmed for Normal Parts, using them with Drum Parts may not produce musically
appropriate results.

Arpeggios for Drum Parts

Arpeggio types in Drum/Perc categories are programmed specifically for use with Drum Parts, giving you
instant access to various rhythm patterns. Three different playback types are available.
Playback of a drum pattern
Pressing any note(s) will trigger the same rhythm pattern.
Playback of a drum pattern, plus additional played notes (assigned drum
instruments)
Pressing any note will trigger the same rhythm pattern. Adding notes to the one already held produces
additional sounds (assigned drum instruments) for the drum pattern.
Playback only of the played notes (assigned drum instruments)
Playing a note or notes will trigger a rhythm pattern using only the notes played (assigned drum
instruments). Keep in mind that even if you play the same notes, the triggered rhythm pattern differs
depending on the order of the notes played. This gives you access to different rhythm patterns using the
same instruments simply by changing the order in which you play the notes, when the "Key Mode"
parameter is set to "Thru" or "Thru+Drct."
NOTE The three playback types above are not distinguished by category name or type name. You'll have to actually
play the types and hear the difference.
NOTE Since these types are programmed for Drum Parts, using them with Normal Parts may not produce musically
appropriate results.
