* There are also other styles besides the above, including those

used for random play and for creating your own styles. For

details regarding each style, refer to “Arpeggio Settings

(ARPEGGIO)” (p. 108).

4. To change the “groove” feel of the arpeggio, hold down

[ARPEGGIO] to access the ARP SELECT display, move the

cursor to the Accent parameter, and change the setting.

fig.2-16a

A setting of 100% will produce the most pronounced groove

feel.

* This setting will also affect the Accent Rate parameter

(SYSTEM/ARPEGGIO/ARPEGGIO) settings.

5. To change the range in which the arpeggio is played,

hold down [ARPEGGIO] to access the ARP SELECT

display, move the cursor to the Oct parameter, and

change the setting.

fig.2-17

If you want the arpeggio to sound using only the notes that

you actually play, set this to 0. With a +1 setting, arpeggio will

take place over a range up to 1 octave higher than the notes

you play. A -1 setting will result in arpeggio occurring over

the range down to 1 octave lower than the notes you play.

* This setting will also affect the Octave Range parameter

(SYSTEM/ARPEGGIO/ARPEGGIO) settings.

6. To change the tempo in which the arpeggio is played,

hold down [ARPEGGIO] to access the ARP SELECT

display, move the cursor to the Tempo parameter, and

change the setting.

fig.2-17a

* This setting will also affect the Tempo parameter (SYSTEM/

ARPEGGIO/ARPEGGIO) settings.

7. Play a chord to produce an arpeggio.

8. To stop the arpeggio, press [ARPEGGIO] to turn off the

indicator.

* If you hold down [SHIFT] when you press [ARPEGGIO], the

ARP SELECT display will continue being displayed, without

you having to hold down [ARPEGGIO]. To go back to the

previous display, press [EXIT].

■ Playing an Arpeggio Over a

Preset Keyboard Area

As soon as you press [ARPEGGIO] to turn the Arpeggiator

on, the keyboard will be set to play arpeggios so

conventional keyboard playing is no longer possible.

If you split the keyboard into two different areas, you can use

one area for normal playing and the other for playing

arpeggios. This setting, for instance, allows you to play

arpeggios with the left hand and a melody with the right

hand.

1. Press [PERFORM] to call up the PERFORM PLAY

display.

2. If you have selected a Single Performance, set the Key

Mode parameter (PERFORM/COMMON/PREFROM

COMMON) to LAYER (p. 52).

3. Make sure that the Key Range parameter (PERFORM/

COMMON/PERFORM COMMON) is ON. If it is OFF,

turn it ON (p. 53).

4. Set the Local parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) ON

for the Part you want to hear (p. 52).

5. After pressing [SYSTEM] to make the indicator light up,

press the [ARPEGGIO] function button followed by [ ]

to display an Arpeggio screen like the one shown below.

fig.2-18

6. Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to the Part

parameter.

7. Rotate the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to set the

part that will play the arpeggio.

8. Set the Lower or Upper parameter (PERFORM/

COMMON/KEY RANG) to specify the note range of the

part that will play the arpeggio (p. 53).

9. Set the key range of parts other than the arpeggio part so

that they do not overlap the range in which the arpeggio

is played.

10.After you finish settings, press [EXIT] to call up the

PERFORM PLAY display again and play a chord.

* If you play an arpeggio using Layer Performance but without

setting key range, the chords will sound for all Parts except for

the specified Part.
