Description
Switches the Arpeggiator on/off.
Specify the tempo of an arpeggio. When SYNC parameter is set to "INT," this setting val-
ue is effective.
Determines the clock to which the arpeggiator tempo is to be synchronized.
INT: Synchronize to the patch tempo.
MIDI: Synchronize to the clock of the external sequencer.
Sets the key range in octaves over which arpeggio will take place. If you want the arpeg-
gio to sound using only the notes that you actually play, set this parameter to "0." To have
the arpeggio sound using the notes you play and notes 1 octave higher, set this parameter
to "+1." A setting of "-1" will make the arpeggio sound using the notes you play and
notes 1 octave lower.
Sets the order in which notes of the chord will sound.
UP: Notes you press will be sounded, beginning from low to high.
DOWN: Notes you press will be sounded, from high to low.

from high to low.
