Creating an Arpeggio Style
(Arpeggio Style Edit)
In addition to using the built-in arpeggio styles, you are free to create
your own. After creating an original arpeggio style, you can store it
in the internal user memory.
Broadly speaking, there are two ways to create an arpeggio style.
Step-recording
In this method, you use the keyboard and pads to step-record your
arpeggio. Each time you input a note, you will advance to the next
step. This method is convenient when you want to create an
arpeggio from scratch using a Style that contains no data.
If you want to create "from scratch," you'll need to initialize the
Style. In the ARPEGGIO STYLE EDIT screen, hold down
[SHIFT] and press [F4 (INIT)]. A message will ask whether you
want to initialize; press [F6 (EXEC)] to execute initialization.
