it. Use the rear panel GATE ARP switch to
choose which parameter is assigned to the
slider.

tion of the sound as a percentage. Setting

legato or muted state will be cancelled.

display will automatically return to indicating the pro-

vals. With a setting of 0.5, the sound will be
heard at eighth-note intervals.
