Playing in Patch Mode
0, 32, 64, 96, 127, Tie/Clr
When inputting notes: When you touch one of these buttons, a note
with the velocity shown on that button will be input at the cursor
location within the pattern input area. When you touch <Tie>, a tie
will be input at the cursor location.
When inputting control changes: A control change with the value
shown on that button will be input at the cursor location within the
pattern input area. When you touch <Clr>, the selected control
change will be erased.
When you are editing, these buttons modify the velocity of the note
that is selected in the pattern input area, or the value of the control
change.
You can also input the note velocity or control change value by
using the VALUE dial or [INC/+][DEC/-].
Controller
When you operate the Time Trip pad (TTPadX/Y), D Beam
controller (DBeamL/R), or assignable controllers (Ctrl_1/2), the
value is shown here.
Grid
Specifies the note value that will correspond to "one step" of the
arpeggio pattern.

(Quarter note), (Eighth note),
(Sixteenth note), (Dotted sixteenth note),
End Point
Specifies the pattern length as a number of steps (1–32).
Clear
Erases the pattern data (p. 27).
Real Rec (Realtime Recording)
Use realtime recording to create a pattern (p. 26).
Step Rec (Step Recording)
Use step recording to create a pattern (p. 27).

Creating a Pattern by Playing in Real
Time (Real Rec)
This method lets you create a pattern in a way similar to realtime
recording on a sequencer. Your playing on the V-Synth's keyboard
and your controller operations will be recorded "as is."
1. Specify the Grid and End Point of the arpeggio pattern that
you will be creating.
Move the cursor to each value box and set the value.
2. Touch <Real Rec>.
The V-Synth will be in realtime-input standby mode, and the
metronome will sound a guide rhythm.
fig.02-09c_50
3. If you want to adjust the tempo, turn ARPEGGIO [TEMPO].
Turn the knob toward the right to make the tempo faster, or
toward the left to make it slower.
4. In time with the guide rhythm sounded by the metronome,
play the V-Synth's keyboard and operate the controllers.
You can repeatedly record over the pattern length (number of
steps) you specified in step 1. On each pass, you can add new
notes and control changes to build up the pattern.
The notes (specified pitches) and control changes in a single
pattern cannot exceed a total of 16. All further (seventeenth and
later) notes having a new pitch or control changes will not be
recorded.
5. When you are finished with realtime input, touch <Stop>.
The metronome guide will stop sounding.
6. Press ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] to turn on the arpeggiator, and
play the keyboard to hear your realtime-recorded pattern.
