Playing in the Performance Mode
Arpeggio settings—[F4] Arpeggio
This display determines the basic settings of the Arpeggio.
There are two types of parameters: Common parameters
(Common Switch, Tempo and Sync Quantize Value
indicated at the top of the display) and Part parameters
(others). As for the Part parameters, five different Arpeggio
types can be assigned to each of the four Parts, and are
selectable with the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons. Press the
appropriate [SF1] – [SF5] button to call up the desired
Arpeggio/Part combination. Arpeggio related settings on
the display are automatically assigned to the
corresponding [SF1] – [SF5] buttons. The settings made
here will be applied to the same parameters in the General
Other display (page 104) of Common Edit, the Arpeggio
Main display (page 112) and the Arpeggio Other display
(page 114) of Part Edit.

the Performance for which this parameter is set to on, the
[ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button on the panel will be turned on
automatically.

well as your keyboard playing in the Performance mode
can be recorded to the specified track as MIDI events.
NOTICE
