Other Operation

Specifying the arpeggio tempo
You can specify the tempo of the arpeggio. Depending on the sound,
LFO or DELAY can also synchronize to the tempo.
Adjusting the amount of shuffle
By varying the timing at which notes are sounded, you can create a
shuffle rhythm.
When this setting is in the center position, notes are sounded at equal
spacing. Increasing the value adds a shuffle feel like a dotted-note
rhythm.
* The shuffle setting changes for all parts at the same time.
Changing the duration of the notes
You can specify the length during which each of the arpeggiated
notes is heard. Shortening the duration produces a staccato feel, and
lengthening the duration produces a tenuto feel.
* The duration for all parts changes at the same time.
