n A User Voice may be registered to a certain Arpeggio Type via
the Voice with ARP function. With the factory settings, each of
the combinations of an Arpeggio Type and its companion User
Voice is designed to be the most suitable match and produce
the appropriate sound/phrase. However, when revising the
sound of the User Voice by editing the parameters or storing a
different Voice to the corresponding User Voice number, this
combination may become improper or produce an
unexpected sound. If such a situation occurs, select the most
appropriate Voice for the current Arpeggio Type on the [F1]
Voice display.
Tempo*
Determines the Arpeggio Tempo.
Settings: 5.0 – 300.0

MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to
synchronize it with that device, set the MIDI sync ( )
parameter in the MIDI display (page 228) of the Utility mode to
"MIDI" or "auto." In this case, the Tempo parameter here
indicates "MIDI" or "auto" and cannot be changed.
Key Mode
Determines how the Arpeggio plays back when playing the
keyboard.
Settings: sort, thru, direct, sort+direct, thru+direct
sort
When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of a chord), the
same sequence plays, no matter what order you play the notes.
thru
When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of a chord), the
resulting sequence differs depending on the order of the notes.
direct
Note events of the Arpeggio sequence do not play; only the notes you
play on the keyboard are heard. When the Arpeggio plays back, the
events such as Pan and Brightness are applied to the sound of your
keyboard performance. Use this setting when the Arpeggio types
includes non-note data or when the Category type "Ctrl" is selected.
sort+direct
The Arpeggio is played back according to the "sort" setting here, and
the note pressed is also sounded.
thru+direct
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 18). 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 a note on the keyboard.
Velocity Mode
Adjusts the velocity of the Arpeggio notes.
Settings: original, thru
original
The Arpeggio plays back at the preset velocities included in the
Arpeggio sequence data.
thru
The Arpeggio plays back according to the velocity of your playing. For
example, if you play the notes strongly, the playback volume of the
Arpeggio increases.
Output Octave Shift
Specifies the maximum Arpeggio range in octaves.
