Arpeggio Settings

Synchronizing an Arpeggio to
Song/Style/Riyaz Playback—
Arpeggio Quantize
When you play the keyboard to trigger an Arpeggio
(page 20) along with Song/Style/Riyaz playback,
you'll need to play the notes with correct timing to
keep the Arpeggio in synchronization with the other
playback tracks. However, your actual timing may be
slightly ahead of or behind the beat (or both). The
"Arpeggio Quantize" function of this instrument will
correct any slight imperfections in the timing (accord-
ing to settings below), and then play back the Arpeg-
gio appropriately.
• Synchronizing at the quarter notes
• Synchronizing at the 8th notes
• No synchronization with Style or Song playback
Although the Arpeggio Quantize value is pre-pro-
grammed for each Arpeggio Type, you can change the
value manually.
