Creating an Arpeggio Style
In addition to using the built-in arpeggio styles, you are free to create
your own.
Broadly speaking, there are two ways to create an arpeggio style.
Step-recording from the Keyboard
In this method, you use the keyboard to step-record your arpeggio.
Each time you input a note, you will advance to the next step. This
method is convenient when you want to create an arpeggio from
scratch using a Style that contains no data.
If you want to create "from scratch," you'll need to initialize the
Style. In the ARPEGGIO STYLE EDIT screen, hold down [SHIFT]
and press [5 (INIT)]. A message will ask whether you want to
initialize; press [7 (EXEC)] to execute initialization.
1.
Press [ARPEGGIO] so it's lit. Alternatively, hold down [SHIFT] and
press [ARPEGGIO].
When you hold down [SHIFT] and press [ARPEGGIO], the
ARPEGGIO STYLE screen will appear regardless of whether the
arpeggio function is on or off.
2.
Press [6 (EDIT)].
The ARPEGGIO STYLE EDIT screen appears.
3.
Press [2 (SETUP)].
The Arpeggio Setup window appears.
Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to the parameter that
4.
you want to edit.
5.
Use the VALUE dial or [DEC] [INC] to set the value.

Explanation
Specifies the number of steps.
Specifies the velocity (strength) of the
notes. Choose "REAL" if you want the
velocity to be the velocity at which you
actually struck the key. Otherwise, you
can specify the velocity you like.
Some typical values are:
p (piano) = 60,
mf (mezzo forte) = 90,
f (forte) = 120.
