Explanation
Turns the ARPEGGIO on/off.
If this is "ON, " the arpeggio continues
playing even after you release the
keyboard.
Quarter note (1 grid unit = 1 beat)
Eighth note (2 grid units = 1 beat)
Dotted eighth note
Sixteenth note (4 grid units = 1 beat)
Dotted sixteenth note
Thirty-second note (8 grid units = 1 beat)
Keys you press are sounded in ascending
order (UP).
Keys you press are sounded in
descending order (DOWN).
Keys you press are sounded in ascending
order, and then back down in descending
order.
Keys you press are sounded in random
order.
Keys are sounded in the order in which
you press them. You can create a melody
line by pressing keys in the appropriate
order.
Specifies the duration for each arpeggio
note to sound.
This determines whether the sounds are
played staccato (short and clipped), or
tenuto (fully drawn out) .
Specifies the amount by which the
arpeggio is shifted. This adds an effect
that shifts arpeggios one cycle at a time
in octave units (octave range).You can set
the shift range upwards or downwards
(up to three octaves up or down) .
Modifies the timing at which notes are
sounded, producing a shuffle rhythm.
With a setting of "50%" the notes are
spaced at equal intervals. As you increase
this setting, you'll get an increasingly
"bouncy" feel as though the notes were
dotted.
Sixteenth note
Eighth note
Specifies the strength at which the keys
you press are sounded. If you want
your playing dynamics to control the
strength at which the notes are sounded,
choose "REAL. " If you want the notes
to be sounded at a fixed velocity value
regardless of your playing dynamics,
specify that value (1–127).
VOCODER
Here you can make vocoder-related settings.
Vocoder settings can be saved and switched for individual programs.

Explanation
Turns the VOCODER on/off.
Adjusts the output level of the sound that
passes through the vocoder.
Adjusts the pan of the sound that passes
through the vocoder.
Emphasizes the human voice.
Emphasizes the instrumental sound.
Produces a vintage sound with a long
decay.
Adjusts the input level of the
instrumental sound.
Adjusts the input sensitivity of the mic.
Specifies the volume at which the mic
sound that has passed through Mic HPFis
added to the vocoder's output.
Specifies the frequency at which the high
pass filter (HPF) applied to the mic sound
starts to take effect.
This does nothing if "BYPASS" is selected.
Specifies whether the arpeggio applies to
the vocoder (ON) or does not apply (OFF).
Explanation
Selects the instrumental sound that will
be the carrier.
For each part, select one of the following
four velocity curves as appropriate for the
touch response of your MIDI keyboard. If
you want to use the velocity curve of the
keyboard, turn this "OFF. "

Set this to "MONO" if you want to play the
carrier monophonically, or to "POLY" if
you want to play polyphonically.
Choose "TONE" if you want to use the
setting specified by the tone.
When playing monophonically, you
can apply legato. "Legato" is a playing
technique in which one note is smoothly
connected to the next. This produces
an effect similar to hammering-on or
pulling-off when playing a guitar.
Turn this "ON" if you want to apply legato,
or "OFF" if you don't.
Choose "TONE" if you want to use the
setting specified by the tone.
Specifies whether portamento is applied.
Select "ON" to apply portamento, or "OFF"
if you don't want to apply portamento.
Choose "TONE" if you want to use the
setting specified by the tone.
