Creating an Arpeggio

TIP
In addition using the preset Arpeggios, you can also create your own original Arpeggio data.
Actually, there is no direct operation for recording Arpeggios. First, you have to record a Phrase to a Song or Pattern track.
Then, use the appropriate Song or Pattern Job function to convert the data to Arpeggio data.

Record the MIDI sequence data to be

data.
Determining how Song/Pattern data is converted to an Arpeggio — Convert Type
MIDI sequence data (of Song/Pattern tracks) can be converted to Arpeggio data in one of three ways, according to the
Convert types below. These types can also be selected independently for each destination track — providing enormous
flexibility and performance control.
