Using the arpeggiator

Each program lets you use one polyphonic arpeggiator. In Combination mode or Sequencer mode, you can use two
polyphonic arpeggiators.
1.
Select the program or combination that you want to play.
2.
Press the ARP ON/OFF button to make the LED located to the left of the button light‐up.
Depending on the combination or program, the arpeggiator might already been turned on. You can press the
front panel ARP ON/OFF button to switch the arpeggiator on/off.
3.
Press the ARP LATCH ON/OFF button to make the LED to the left of the button light‐up; this turns the
Latch function on.
If Latch is on, the arpeggiator will continue playing even after you take your hand off the keyboard.
4.
Press some keys.
The arpeggio pattern will start.
5.
Press the REALTIME CONTROLS SELECT button to make the C mode LED light‐up.
Then turn knobs 1–3 (GATE, VELOCITY, SWING), and notice how the pattern changes.
6.
Turning knob 4 (TEMPO) will adjust the tempo.
It's also effective to switch to realtime control A or B mode and modify the sound while the arpeggiator is
playing (p. 14 "Using controllers to modify the sound").
Arpeggio patterns suitable for the sounds have been assigned to each of the factory‐set programs and
combinations. Go ahead and select programs or combinations from various categories, and turn on the
arpeggiator to hear the results.
