Arpeggiator function
Using knobs 1–4 to control the
arpeggiator
• You can control the arpeggiator by pressing the
SELECT button to select ARP and then turning
knobs 1–4.
Adjusting the duration of the arpeggiated
notes
• Turn knob 1 to adjust the duration of the
arpeggiated notes.
Rotating the knob toward the left will shorten the
duration of the notes, and rotating it toward the
right will lengthen the duration of the notes. At the
center position (12 o'clock), the note length will be
as specified by the program parameter: Gate (Prog
P7: ARP/DT– ARP Setup page).
Note: The knob setting is saved when you write each
program.
Note: It is effective to use the SELECT button to select
TONE, and then adjust knob 4 (RELEASE).
Changing the dynamics of the arpeggiated
notes
• Turn knob 2 to adjust the dynamics of the
arpeggiated notes.
Turning the knob toward the left will make the
notes softer, and turning it toward the right will
make the notes stronger. When the knob is in the
center position (12 o'clock), the value of the pro‐
gram parameter Velocity (Prog P7: ARP/DT– Arp
Setup page) will be used.
Note: The state of the knob is saved when you write
the program.
Note: It is effective to use the SELECT button to select
TONE, and then adjust knobs 1 (CUTOFF), 2
(RESONANCE), and 3 (EG INT).
Adding a shuffle feel to the arpeggio pattern
• If you turn knob 3, the timing of the arpeggiated
notes on even‐numbered beats will be shifted
forward or backward.
Turning the knob toward the left will speed up the
timing of the even‐numbered beats. When the knob
is in the center position (12 o'clock), the timing will
be as specified by the program parameter Swing
(Global P6: Arpeggio Pattern‐ Setup page).
Changing the number of steps in the
arpeggio pattern
• By turning knob 4 (STEP), you can change the
number of steps in the arpeggio pattern.

Turning the knob toward the left will shorten the
pattern length ("Length") by half. Turning the knob
toward the right will shorten the interval of the
arpeggiated notes ("Resolution") by half. When the
knob is in the center position (12 o'clock), the pat‐
tern will be as specified by the parameters Length
and Resolution (Global P6: Arpeggio Pattern–
Setup page).
If the arpeggio pattern selected by "Pat (Pattern
Select)" is one of the preset arpeggio patterns P0–
P4, turning the knobs will not produce any
change. These adjustments are available only if a
user arpeggio pattern U0000 (INT)–U1027 (USER)
is selected.
Note: The state of the knobs is saved when you write
the program.
Note: Depending on the program that's selected, using
knob 4 may not produce any effect.
Selecting an arpeggio pattern and
specifying its function
In the Prog P0: Play– Arpeggiator page you can select
an arpeggio pattern and specify how the arpeggiator
will function.
• In Prog P0: Play, press the ARP tab to access the
Prog P0: Play– Arpeggiator page.
Selecting an arpeggio pattern
An arpeggio pattern can be selected from preset
arpeggio patterns P0–P4 and user arpeggio patterns
U0000(INT)–U1027(USER). The factory settings
U0000(INT)–U0899(INT), U0900(USER)–U1027(USER)
contain a wide variety of preloaded user arpeggio
patterns.
• Choose Pattern, and use the VALUE dial, INC/DEC
buttons, and popup menu to select an arpeggio
pattern.
User arpeggio patterns can also be selected by using
the numeric keys 0–9 to input the pattern number
and then pressing the ENTER button.
