If you are using the
internal sequencer, it's probably
best to leave this parameter set
to "resync arps & riffs".

As an example, suppose you are playing the arps live as an intro to your
song. When you press play, the sequencer immediately starts, but your arp
pattern will probably not be on the beat with the sequence. With resync
on, the arps stay in perfect sync with the first beat of the sequence.

PX-7 lets you create and edit your own arpeggiator patterns. Using the Edit
User Pattern menu, you can create up to 100 user patterns and each pattern
can be up to 32 steps in length.
When you edit a pattern, you are writing directly into memory—no Save
command is required (however you must exit the Arp module). This is
different from the Edit menu where you must Save a preset before it will be
overwritten. If you want to modify an existing pattern and keep the
original, you must first COPY the pattern you want to edit to another
location using the function in the Save/Copy menu (See page 290). Refer to
the instructions below and the following parameter descriptions to create
your own patterns.
