accent location and note length, causing the beat (rhythm) to
change.

selected arpeggio style. For details on the possible values for
each style, refer to "STYLE/MOTIF/BEAT PATTERN
Correspondence Chart "(p. 158).

1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16 1–3, 1/32 1–3, PORTA-A 1–11,

control the speed of portamento. Adjust the portamento time as
appropriate for the playback BPM. (It is not necessary to turn
portamento on.)
Timing (SHUFFLE RATE)
This setting lets you modify the note timing to create shuffle
rhythms. The range of settings is 50–90%. With a setting of
50%, notes will be spaced equally. As the value is increased,
notes will become increasingly like dotted notes.
Range: 50–90 (%)
* With the beat pattern setting of 1/4, there will be no shuffle
effect even if the Shuffle Rate value is increased.
