Accent Phrase
Accent Phrases are composed of sequence data included
in some Arpeggio types, sounding only when you play
notes at a velocity higher (stronger) than that specified in
the Accent Velocity Threshold parameter. If it is hard to play
at velocities necessary to trigger the Accent Phrase, set
the Accent Velocity Threshold parameter to a lower value.

parameter, refer to "Arpeggio setting display" below.

Arpeggio playback types
The Arpeggio playback features four main playback types
as described below.
Arpeggio Types for Normal Voices
Arpeggio types (belonging to the categories except for the
DrPC and Cntr) created for use of Normal Voices have the
following three playback types.
Playback only of the played notes
The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note
and its octave notes.
Playback of a programmed sequence
according to the played notes
These Arpeggio types have the several sequences each of
which is suited for a certain chord type. Even if you press
only one note, the Arpeggio is played back using the
programmed sequence—meaning that notes other than
the ones you play may be sounded. Pressing another note
triggers the transposed sequence regarding the pressed
note as a root note. Adding notes to those already held
changes the sequence accordingly. An Arpeggio with such
a playback type has "_ES" at the end of the type name.
Playback of a programmed sequence
according to the played chord type
These Arpeggio types created for use with Normal Voices
are played back to match the chord type determined by
detecting the notes you play on the keyboard. An Arpeggio
with such a playback type has "_XS" at the end of the type
name.
n When the Key Mode parameter is set to "sort" or "sort+direct,"
the same sequence is played back no matter what order you
play the notes. When the Key Mode parameter is set to "thru"
