Changing The Sounding Of Arpeggios; Turning Arpeggiator On And Off (Har/Arp Control) - Roland GR-33 Owner's Manual

Latch TypeA (Latch hold type A):
With an ordinary hold function, pressing the pedal starts the
hold, and releasing the pedal ends it. With a latch hold,
however, pressing the pedal once begins the hold, and
pressing the pedal again ends it. On the GR-33, a latch hold is
available only when using Arpeggiator.
When Arpeggiator is playing and Pedal 3 (HOLD) is pressed,
the GR-33 holds the arpeggio being played at the moment the
pedal is pressed. This is a latch hold, so the held arpeggio
continues even if you release the pedal. The hold ends when
you press the pedal again. As with "Sostenuto," no new
notes you play affect the held arpeggio.
During the latch hold, you can use Pedal 4 (CTRL)—which
normally toggles arpeggios on and off—to perform chord
changes for the arpeggio to play without disrupting its
rhythm. To do this, press and hold down Pedal 4 (CTRL),
play the new chord, and release the pedal—Arpeggiator
plays the new chord.

Changing the Sounding of Arpeggios

The GR-33's Arpeggiator function allows you to select the
arpeggiated tone (HAR/ARP SELECT), the arpeggio pattern
(ARP PATTERN), and the tempo (ARP TEMPO).

Chapter 7 The Arpeggiator Function
Latch TypeB (Latch hold type B):
The basic operation is the same as for "Latch TypeA"—the
hold is maintained even if you take your foot off the pedal,
and the hold is released when you press the pedal again.
"Latch TypeB" is also like "Latch TypeA" in that nothing you
play while the hold is on affects the held arpeggio.
The difference from "Latch TypeA" lies in what happens
when the guitar is played while Pedal 4 (CTRL) is
depressed—with "Latch TypeB," you can play new notes on
the guitar to affect the held arpeggio, as with "Damper."
However, when Pedal 4 is not held down, newly played
strings do not affect the arpeggio, as with "Latch TypeA."
5. Enter Pedal Effect mode.
For details on operation refer to ""Pedal Effect Mode": What
It Is, and How to Call It Up" (p. 26).
* Alternatively, use the System mode item "S1/S2
FUNCTION" to choose "Patch Select" and return to Play
mode.
6. Press pedal 4 (CTRL) to turn the arpeggiator on/off.
