Voice/Performance/Multi mode
Determines the Arpeggio type, then stores the selected type to each Voice/Performance/Multi. For details
about storing the Arpeggios, see the Arpeggio Store section (page 89).
Settings: Refer to the separate Data List booklet.
Determines the tempo for the Arpeggio. Please note that Tempo setting cannot be changed when "MIDI
Sync" parameter is set to "MIDI" ([UTILITY]
Settings: 1 ~ 300
Determines the actual timing at which the Arpeggio type is switched when you select another type during
Arpeggio playback.
Settings: realtime, measure
realtime............ The Arpeggio type is switched immediately when you select another type.
measure........... The Arpeggio type is switched at the top of the next measure after you select another type.
Determines whether Arpeggio is on or off. You can also turn this on or off from the front panel with the
[ARPEGGIO] button.
Settings: off, on
When this is set to "on," the Arpeggio cycles automatically, even if you release your fingers from the keys,
and it continues to cycle until the next key is pressed. Determines whether the Arpeggio playback is "held"
or not.

sortdirect ......... The Arpeggio is played back according to the "sort" setting here, and the note pressed is also sounded.
thrudirect ......... The Arpeggio is played back according to the "thru" setting here, and the note pressed is also sounded.
n • Some Arpeggio types belonging to the "Cntr" Category may not have note events (page 64). When such an
Arpeggio type is selected and the Key Mode is set to "sort" or "thru," no sound is produced even if you press the
note on the keyboard.
• With the "sort" and "thru" settings, the order in which notes are played back will depend on the Arpeggio sequence
data.
This determines the playback velocity of the Arpeggio, or how it responds to your own playing strength.
Settings: original, thru
original............. The Arpeggio plays back at the preset velocities.
thru .................. The Arpeggio plays back according to the velocity of your playing. For example, if you play the notes strongly,
Determines the lowest and highest notes in the Arpeggio's note range. Notes played in this range trigger the
Arpeggio.
Settings: C-2 ~ G8
n • For example, setting a Note Limit of "C5 -C4" lets you trigger the Arpeggio by playing notes in the two ranges of
C –2 to C4 and C5 to G8; notes played between C4 and C5 have no effect on the Arpeggio.
• Please keep in mind that no sound is produced when the Key Mode is set to "sort" or "thru" and notes are played
outside the Note Limit setting here.
Determines the minimum and maximum velocity in the Arpeggio's velocity range. Notes played in this range
trigger the Arpeggio.
Settings: 1~127
n You can also create separate low and high trigger ranges for the Arpeggio playback, with a velocity "hole" in the
middle, by specifying the maximum value first. For example, setting a Velocity Limit of 93 - 34 lets you play the
Arpeggio from two separate velocity ranges: soft (1 - 34) and hard (93 - 127). Notes played at middle velocities
between 35 and 92 do not play the Arpeggio.
Determines the Arpeggio playback time. For example, if you set a value of 200%, the playback time will be
doubled and the tempo halved. Alternatively, if you set a value of 50%, the playback time will be halved and
the tempo doubled. Normal playback time is 100%.
Settings: 50%, 66%, 75%, 100%, 133%, 150%, 200%
Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to produce a swing feel.
Settings: -120 ~ +120
Determines to what beats the note data in the Arpeggio sequence data will be aligned, or determines to
what beats in the Arpeggio sequence data the swing is applied.
Settings: 60 (32nd note), 80 (16th note triplet), 120 (16th note), 160 (8th note triplet), 240 (8th note), 320 (1/4 note triplet), 480
