Arpeggio

Arpeggio related parameters

Playback only of the played notes (assigned drum
instruments)
Playing a note or notes will trigger a rhythm pattern using only the
notes played (assigned drum instruments). Keep in mind that even
if you play the same notes, the triggered rhythm pattern differs
depending on the order of the notes played. This gives you access
to different rhythm patterns using the same instruments simply by
changing the order in which you play the notes.
n The three playback types above are not distinguished by the category name or
type name. You'll have to actually play the types and hear the difference.
n Since these types are programmed for Drum Voices, using them with Normal
Voices may not give musically appropriate results.
Arpeggios for Performances –
Category: Comb
The Arpeggio types belonging to the category "Comb" are
programmed so that different arpeggios are triggered – an
arpeggio for a Normal Voice and an arpeggio for a Drum Voice –
depending on the played note. These types are useful in the
Performance mode in which multiple Voices (Drum Voice and
Normal Voice) are combined in a layer since these types enable
you trigger the arpeggio for the Normal Voice and the Drum Voice
at the same time.
Arpeggios containing mainly non-note
events – Category: Cntr
These arpeggio types are programmed primarily with Control
Change and Pitch Bend data. They are used to change the tone or
pitch of the sound, rather than play specific notes.
In fact, some types contain no note data at all. When using a type
of this category, set the "KeyMode" parameter to "direct" with the
following operations.
