If ÒPORTA-A 1Ð11, PORTA-B 1Ð15Ó is selected as the

Beat Pattern, the Patch parameter Portamento Time (p.

58) will control the speed of portamento. Adjust the

portamento time as appropriate for the playback

tempo. (It is not necessary to turn portamento on.)

* The parameters which can be set will depend on the cur-

rently-selected Arpeggio Style.

Shuffle Rate

This setting lets you modify the note timing to create

shuffle rhythms.

Range: 50Ð90 (%)

With a setting of 50%, the notes will sound at equal

spacing. As this value is increased, the notes will

become more Òbouncy,Ó as if they were dotted notes.

* If the Beat Pattern setting is Ò1/4,Ó shuffle will not be

applied even if you increase the Shuffle Rate setting.

This is the setting page for ÒAdding Expression to the

Arpeggio (Accent Rate)Ó (p. 106).
