Explanation
Turns the arpeggiator on/off for the Upper
Part.
Turns the arpeggiator on/off for the Lower
Part.
Specifies the basic style of the arpeggio.
You can create your own original arpeggio
style by importing an SMF into an arpeggio
style. For details, refer to "Creating an Arpeg-
gio Style from a MIDI File (Import)" (p. 49).
Turns the arpeggio hold function on/off.
Each arpeggio style provides several
variations (patterns). Here you can select the
variation number. The number of variations
will depend on the arpeggio style.
The notes will be sounded from the lowest
to the highest note you play.
The notes will be sounded from the highest
to the lowest note you play.
The notes will be sounded from the lowest
to the highest note, and then back down to
the lowest note.
The notes you play will be sounded in
random order.
The notes you play will be sounded in the
order you played them. You can create a
melody line by playing the notes in the
appropriate order. The order of up to 128
notes can be remembered.
A chromatic glissando will be sounded
upward and then downward repeatedly
between the lowest and highest notes
you played. Play two notes; the lowest and
highest desired notes.
All of the notes you play will sound
simultaneously.
The timing at which each note will sound
is assigned automatically, starting at the
lowest note you play.
The timing at which each note will sound
is assigned automatically, starting at the
highest note you play.
Play only one key; a phrase based on the
pitch of that key will be sounded. If you play
more than one key, the last key you play will
take priority.
Specifies the loudness at which the notes
you play will be sounded. If you want the
notes to be sounded at the velocity with
which you actually struck the key, choose
"REAL. " If you want the notes to be sounded
at a fixed velocity regardless of how strongly
you struck the key, specify that value
(1–127).
Oct Range
-3–+3
Accent 0–100%
Shuffle Rate 0–100%
Shuffle
,
Resolution
Specifies the range in octaves in which the
arpeggio will be sounded. Choose "0" if you
want only the notes you play to be sounded.
Choose "+1" if you want the notes of the
chord you played as well as the same notes
one octave higher to be sounded. Choose
"-1" if you want the notes of the chord you
played as well as the notes one octave lower
to be sounded.
Modifies the groove of the performance by
adjusting the strength of the accents and
the duration of the notes. The "100%" setting
produces the strongest sense of groove.
Produces a shuffle rhythm by adjusting the
timing of the notes.
With the "50%" setting, notes will be
sounded at equal intervals. As this value is
increased, the result will be more like dotted
notes.
Shuffle Rate= 50%
50 50 50 50
Shuffle Rate= 90%
90 10 90 10
Specifies the timing (as a note value) at
which the notes will be heard.
