Creating an Arpeggio

In addition to using the preset Arpeggios, you can also create your own original Arpeggio data. First,
record a phrase to Song Tracks (up to a maximum of four). Then, convert the Song (or the MIDI sequence
data) to Arpeggio data from the Put Track to Arpeggio display.

them to Arpeggio data.
Determining how Song/Pattern data is converted to an Arpeggio – Convert Type
MIDI sequence data (of Song Tracks) can be converted to Arpeggio data in one of three ways, according
to the Convert types below. These types can also be selected independently for each destination Track—
providing enormous flexibility and performance control.
