Setting The D Beam Controller (D Beam) - Roland XV-88 Owner's Manual

Key Velocity
Specifies the loudness of the notes that you play.
If you want the velocity value to change according to how
strongly you played each note, set this to REAL. If you want
each note to have a fixed velocity regardless of how strongly
you play the keyboard, set this parameter to the desired
value (1–127).
Zone (Arpeggio Zone)
Arpeggio Zone sets the Zone for playing an Arpeggio
performance when a Layer Performance is being selected.
The Arpeggio performance corresponding to the Part
connected to the Zone set here is played.
When a Single Performance is selected, this setting is
disabled, and the single specified Part (current Part) will
play arpeggios.
Tempo (Arpeggio Tempo)
Sets the speed of the arpeggio.
When the Clock Source parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/
SYSTEM SETUP) is set to INT, the display will indicate
Tempo(=SYS), and this will be the same value as the system
tempo. With a setting of MIDI, the display will indicate
Tempo(=EXT), and you will be synchronized to the clock of
the external MIDI device.
