Arpeggios for Drum/Percussion Voices — Category: DrPc
These arpeggio types are programmed specifically for use with Drum Voices, giving you instant access to various rhythm
patterns. Three different playback types are available.
Playback of a drum pattern
Playback of a drum pattern, plus
additional played notes
(assigned drum instruments)
Playback only of the played notes
(assigned drum instruments)
n
The three playback types above are not distinguished by the category name or type name. You'll have to actually play the types and hear the
difference.
n
Since these types are programmed for Drum Voices, using them with Normal Voices may not give musically appropriate results.
Arpeggios for Performances — Category: Comb
The Arpeggio types belonging to the category "Comb" are programmed so that different arpeggios are triggered — an
arpeggio for a Normal Voice and an arpeggio for a Drum Voice — depending on the played note. These types are useful in
the Performance mode in which multiple voices (Drum Voice and Normal Voice) are combined in a layer since these types
enable you trigger the arpeggio for the Normal Voice and the Drum Voice at the same time.
Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events — Category: Cntr
These arpeggio types 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 KeyMode parameter to "direct" with the following operations.

(Only one Part can be turned on)
n
You can turn Arpeggio playback on for several Parts simultaneously, if the Parts have the same receive channel.
Pressing any note(s) will trigger the same rhythm pattern.
Pressing any note will trigger the same rhythm pattern. Adding notes to the one already held produces
additional sounds (assigned drum instruments) for the drum pattern,
Playing a note or notes will trigger a rhythm pattern using only the notes played (assigned drum instruments).
Keep in mind that even if you play the same notes, the triggered rhythm pattern differs depending on the order
of the notes played. This gives you access to different rhythm patterns using the same instruments simply by
changing the order in which you play the notes.
