Explanation

[1]

rAtE

4, 8, 8t, 16, 16t, 32

Sets the length of one note for each step that the arpeggio plays.

[2]

NodE

Sets the order in which the notes are played.

UP

The notes are played from the lowest key you played to the highest.

doľn

The notes are played from the highest key you played to the lowest.

UP.dn

The notes are played from the lowest key you played to the highest, and then back down to the lowest.

rnd

The notes are played in random order.

n.odr

The notes are played in the order in which you play them.

[3]

ShFL

-100–100 (%)

Sets the timing of the upbeat.

You can create a shuffle rhythm by varying the upbeat timing. Larger values give more of a bouncing, dotted-note rhythmic feel.

When this is set to “0”, the downbeat and upbeat are played at equal intervals.

[4]

rESo

This sets the note value (upbeat note) that the shuffle is based on.

16th

Sixteenth note

8th

Eighth note

[5]

Oct

-3–+3

Sets the range in octaves over which the arpeggio plays. A value of “+” plays over the octave above the key pressed, and a value of “-” plays over the octave below.

[6]

trns

-36–36

Shifts (transposes) the arpeggio notes in semitone steps.

[7]

dvr

0–100 (%)

Sets the length of each note played by the arpeggiator. Larger values lengthen the note value (tenuto), whereas smaller values shorten the note value (staccato).

[8]

UELO

REAL, 1–127

Sets the velocity used when outputting the arpeggio notes via MIDI.

To make the arpeggio play at the strength (velocity) with which you play the keys, set this to “REAL”.

To make the arpeggio play at the same strength (velocity), set a value from 1 to 127.

  • The sound generator of this unit does not support velocity.

MEMO

To play chords using an external MIDI keyboard connected to this unit, set the MIDI receive and transmit channels beforehand.
