Now let's try creating an arpeggio pattern as shown in the following musical example.

When you modify a parameter value in Pattern Define mode, the settings are stored as soon as you make them.

Return to Performance mode. Press a P AT1 key to select a user pattern. Press the
PATTERN DEFINE key once again to turn on the LED and enter Pattern Define mode.

an arpeggio is playing, press the ARPEGGIO ON

Use the PAGE keys to move to PATl-1 [Arpeggio Param], and use knob 1 to set "StB: }"
and knob 2 to set "Sort:ON".
@I
Use the PAGE keys to move to PATl-5 [Step Param]. The "St#01" parameter at left
indicates the step number of the pattern. Each user pattern can contain up to 24 steps, and
the arpeggiator will play each note from the first step at intervals of the step base. You can
use the knob to move through the steps St#01-24 to check the settings of each step. The
"Tone:XX" parameter specifies which of the notes being pressed will be sounded. A
setting of "Tone:01" specifies the lowest note. (However this is in the case of Sort:ON.
If
Sort:OFF, this will refer to the note that was first pressed on the keyboard.) "Vel:XXX" and
"Gt:XXX%" indicate the velocity and gate time of each step. The "Ofst+XX%" parameter is
an offset that allows you to move the timing of each note backward or forward relative to
the step base.

Here's how to specify the first step. Rotate knob 1 to select St#01, and rotate knob 2 to select
Tone:Ol. In the same way, make settings for St#02-St#09 as follows.
St#01 Tone:01 Vel:100 Gt:080% Ofst+OO%
St#02 Tone:02 Vel:lOO Gt:080%

St#08 Tone:02

St#09 Tone: LOOP Vel:lOO

The setting of "Tone:
LOOP"
for step St#09 causes the arpeggiation to return to the first step at this point.
(ID
Press the ARPEGGIO ON /OFF key to make it light, and press the C- E- G- B notes on the
keyboard.
The phrase of the above musical example will be played.
~ Make changes to the velocity, gate time and offset settings of each step, and listen to the
result.
Make sure that PATl-2 [Velocity Param] is set to Vel:STEP, and that PATl-3 [Gate Param]
is set to Gt:STEP. With these settings, velocity and gate time will be determined by the
settings for each step.
