Duration
Post-Delay
This parameter defines how long the arpeggiator plays before stopping. The
Duration is specified in note values. Therefore if an arpeggio were running
at a 16th Note Value and the Duration were set to a whole note, the arpeg-
giator would play 16 steps before stopping. After the duration has elapsed,
the arpeggiator remains inactive until the key is released. If Duration is set
to Off, the arpeggio repeats as long as the notes are held (Infinite Duration).

Duration
Duration can be used to modify the patterns and increase the possible
pattern combinations and variations. Because this parameter limits the
length of arpeggiator play time, it can change the arpeggio pattern when
the Duration is less than the length of the arpeggio. You can set the
arpeggio to repeat continuously using the Recycle function described below.
This parameter is only relevant when both the "Duration" and "Recycle"
parameters are not in the "Off" state. The Post-Delay value determines how
long the arpeggiator is delayed after the Duration period. Please refer to the
diagram on page 252. During the post-delay period, notes are played
normally (as if the arpeggiator was off). After the post-delay period has
elapsed, the arpeggiator either jumps to the beginning of the Pre-Delay
period or to the beginning of the Duration period depending on the
Recycle setting.
If the arpeggiator is playing an extension when the Duration expires, the
notes in the extension will continue to sound during the Post-Delay (and
Pre-Delay if on). On the next pass through the Duration period, the
extension continues where it left off.
Post-Delay increases the number of possible variations in the beat and
allows the recycle loop to be set to an exact measure of time.
