Creating An Arpeggio Style (Arpeggio Style Edit) - Roland JUNO-G Owner's Manual

Selecting Ascending/Descending
Variations (Motif)
This selects the method used to play sounds (motif) when you have a
greater number of notes than programmed for the Arpeggio Style.
* When the number of keys played is less than the number of notes in the
Style, the highest-pitched of the pressed keys is played by default.
Value:
Up (L): Only the lowest of the keys pressed is sounded each
time, and the notes play in order from the lowest of
the pressed keys.
Up (L&H): Notes from both the lowest and highest pressed keys
are sounded each time, and the notes play in order
from the lowest of the pressed keys.
Up (_): The notes play in order from the lowest of the
pressed keys. No one note is played every time.
Down (L): Only the lowest of the keys pressed is sounded each
time, and the notes play in order from the highest of
the pressed keys.
Down (L&H): Notes from both the lowest and highest pressed keys
are sounded each time, and the notes play in order
from the highest of the pressed keys.
The notes play in order from the highest of the
Down (_):
pressed keys. No note is played every time.
U/D (L): Notes will be sounded from the lowest to the highest
key you press and then back down to the lowest key,
with only the lowest key sounded each time.
U/D (L&H): Notes from both the lowest and highest pressed keys
are sounded each time, and the notes play in order
from the lowest of the pressed keys and then back
again in the reverse order.
U/D (_): The notes play in order from the lowest of the
pressed keys, and then back again in the reverse
order. No note is played every time.
Notes will be sounded randomly for the keys you
Rand (L):
press, with only the lowest key sounded each time.
Rand (_): Only the lowest of the keys pressed is sounded each
time, the notes you press will be sounded randomly.
No note will sound each time.
Phrase: Pressing just one key will play a phrase based on the
pitch of that key. If you press more than one key, the
key you press last will be used.

Creating an Arpeggio Style
(Arpeggio Style Edit)
In addition to using the built-in arpeggio styles, you are free to create
your own. After creating an original arpeggio style, you can store it
in the internal user memory.
Broadly speaking, there are two ways to create an arpeggio style.
Step-recording
In this method, you use the keyboard to step-record your arpeggio.
Each time you input a note, you will advance to the next step. This
method is convenient when you want to create an arpeggio from
scratch using a Style that contains no data.
If you want to create "from scratch," you'll need to initialize the
Style. In the ARPEGGIO STYLE EDIT screen, hold down
[SHIFT] and press [F4 (INIT)]. A message will ask whether you
want to initialize; press [F6 (EXEC)] to execute initialization.
1.
Press [ARPEGGIO] so it's lit. Alternatively, hold down
[SHIFT] and press [ARPEGGIO].
* When you hold down [SHIFT] and press [ARPEGGIO], the
ARPEGGIO STYLE screen will appear regardless of whether the
arpeggio function is on or off.
2.
Press [F5 (EDIT)].
The ARPEGGIO STYLE EDIT screen appears.
3.
Press [F1 (SETUP)].
The Arpeggio Setup window appears.
4.
Press [ ] to move the cursor to "End Step."
5.
Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to specify the number of
steps for the arpeggio style.
6.
Press [ ] to move the cursor to "Input Velocity."
7.
Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to specify the velocity
setting for the data you will input.
8.
Press [F6 (CLOSE)] to close the Arpeggio Setup window.
9.
Press [F6 (STP REC)] to add a check mark (✔).
Now you're ready to step-record.
• To move to the desired input location, press [
• To input notes, play the keyboard.
• To input a tie, press [F2 (TIE)].
• To input a rest, press [F3 (REST)].
• To erase the note, hold down [SHIFT] and press [F6 (CLR NOTE)].
• To erase all notes at the current step, hold down [SHIFT] and
press [F5 (CLR STEP)].
• By pressing [F4 (PREVU)] to add a check mark (✔) you can
listen to the style that you're entering.
