Switch-Button Priority

When you're in Setup mode--that is, performing and not editing--the switch buttons (SW1-SW4)
function according to the zone you see in the display. This prevents the conflicts that otherwise
would almost certainly occur. For example, suppose you've programmed SW1 to be a
momentary switch in Zone 1 of a setup, and to be a toggle switch in Zone 2. When you're playing
that setup, SW1 can't be both types of switch at the same time, so it makes sense to have it
function according to the assignments of the current zone (you might be soloing that zone, for
example).

The Arpeggiator Menu

Arpeggiator Activation (Arp Active)

Enables or disables the arpeggiator for the setup. If this parameter's value is Off, then you won't
hear arpeggiation for any notes in any zone of the setup, regardless of the settings for any of the
other arpeggiator parameters. In most setups, you can press SW3 to activate the arpeggiator (in
these setups, SW3 sends MIDI 116, ArpOn.) You can program any physical controller (typically a
switch controller) to activate the arpeggiator by setting its On Ctrl parameter to 116, and its On
Value parameter to any value from 64 to 127.

Arpeggiator Region, Lower Limit (Low) and Upper Limit (Hi)

Determines, in part, which notes you can arpeggiate. All notes, in all setup zones, that are
between the notes specified by Low and Hi (including the notes specified by Low and Hi) get
arpeggiated when both of the following conditions are met:
The value of the ArpActive parameter is On
The value of the Zone Enable parameter for that zone is On

Zone Enable

Determines whether the current zone can be arpeggiated under any circumstances. If the value is
Off for a zone, none of the notes within that zone's key range get played by the arpeggiator. If the
value is On (and the arpeggiator is active), notes within that zone's key range get played by the
arpeggiator if either of the following conditions is met:
The note is within the arpeggiator region (as defined by the Low and Hi parameters); in
this case it becomes one of the latched notes
The note isn't within the arpeggiator region, but is within the range of the arpeggiator's
transposition (as defined by the Shift Limit parameter); in this case it doesn't get latched,
but still gets played
Take a look at Figure 4-1 on page 4-22. The Zone Enable parameter determines whether
arpeggiated notes get sent to a particular zone. Then the zone's parameters process the notes, and
if they're within the zone's key range, the notes get played.

Latch Mode

Determines the manner in which notes get latched. There are six possible values:
Keys
The arpeggiator plays only while you are holding one or more keys down (or holding note
triggers on). As you play different notes, they get added to the arpeggiator, and as you release
