Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events

Arpeggio types (in Control/HybridSeq main categories with Filter, Expression, Pan, Modulation, Pitch Bend,
and Assign 1/2 sub categories) are programmed primarily with Control Change and Pitch Bend data. They
are used to change the tone or pitch of the sound, rather than play specific notes.
In fact, some types contain no note data at all. When using a type of this category, set the "Key Mode"
parameter to "Direct," "Sort+Drct," or "Thru+Drct."
NOTE Settings related to Key Mode are set as follows.
[EDIT]  Part Selection  ELEMENT/OPERATOR [COMMON]  [Arpeggio]  [Common]

Tips for Arpeggio playback

Arpeggios not only provide inspiration and full rhythmic passages over which you can perform, they
give you quality MIDI data you can use in creating Songs, or fully formed backing parts to be used in
your live performances. For instructions on using Arpeggio, see the "Quick Guide" in the Owner's
Manual.

Motion Sequencer Block

The powerful Motion Sequencer feature lets you dynamically change sounds by operating Parameters
depending on sequences created in advance.
It provides real time control for changing sounds depending on various sequences such as Tempo,
Arpeggio, or the rhythm of external connected devices.
You can assign up to eight desired Sequence types for one Lane.
You can also set up to four Lanes corresponding to the Motion Sequencer function for one Part. Up to eight
Lanes can be used at the same time for the entire Performance.
The setting status (on or off) the Lanes in the entire Performance will be shown as follows.
[PERFORMANCE]  [Motion Control]  [Motion Seq]
Also, the parameters for each Lane are set as follows.
