performance.

in octave units.

Duration: Vary the strength and note length of the accents to
modify the rhythmic feel (groove) of the performance.

Creating an Original Arpeggio Pattern
(Pattern Edit)
You can create your own arpeggio pattern that specifies how an
arpeggio will be sounded. This gives you even more interesting
ways to use arpeggios.
An arpeggio pattern is a set of data that can be up to 32 steps
(horizontally) x 16 lines (vertically).
An arpeggio pattern can be saved for an individual patch as part
of the patch settings. This means that you can create a patch
designed specifically for that arpeggio pattern.
About the Pattern Edit Window
