Arpeggiator settings

Adjusting the arpeggiator tempo

(TEMPO)

1. Press the REALTIME CONTROLS [SELECT]

button to make the right “C” LED light.

2. Rotate the [4] (TEMPO) knob to adjust the

tempo. The “ =” value in the upper right of the

display will change.

You can set this in the range of 40–240. The LED

located above the

[4] knob

blinks at quarter-note

intervals of the timing you specify.

You can also set the timing from within the

display. You can use the ClickPoint to select

“ =”, use numeric buttons [0]–[9] to enter the

tempo, and then press the [ENTER] button, or

you can hold down the [ENTER] button and

turn the [VALUE] dial to specify the tempo.

Alternatively, you can use the [VALUE] dial or

[INC][DEC] buttons to specify the tempo. The

LED will blink at the speciﬁed tempo.

Note: You can also set the tempo by tapping the

[ENTER] button at the desired timing.

Alternately, you can set the tempo by pressing a

separately sold PS-1 foot switch that is

connected to the PEDAL jack (when “Foot SW

Assign” is set to Tap Tempo).

Note: The arpeggio playback speed is affected

by the “Reso (Resolution)” setting (0: Play, Arp.

Play page, 7: Ed–Arp/Ctrls, Setup page).

If “MIDI Clock” (GLOBAL 1: MIDI) is set to

Ext-MIDI or Ext-USB, or set to Auto and MIDI

clock messages are being received from an

external device, the display will indicate “ =”

EXT. This lets you synchronize the tempo

with an external MIDI device. In this case you

won’t be able to adjust the tempo on the X50.

Adjusting the length of the arpeggiated

notes (ARP–GATE)

1. Press the REALTIME CONTROLS [SELECT]

button to make the right “C” LED light.

2. Rotate the [1] (ARP-GATE) knob to adjust the

duration of the arpeggiated notes.

Rotating the knob toward the left will shorten

the notes, and rotating it toward the right will

lengthen the notes. At the center position (12

o’clock), the note length will be as speciﬁed by

the program parameter “Gate” (7: Ed–Arp/

Ctrls, Setup page).

Note: You can control the effect by

simultaneously adjusting the REALTIME

CONTROLS A-mode [4] (EG-RELEASE) knob.

Adjusting the level of the arpeggiated

notes (ARP-VELOCITY)

1. Press the REALTIME CONTROLS [SELECT]

button to make the right “C” LED light.

2. Rotate the [2] (ARP-VELOCITY) knob to adjust

the strength (or level) of the arpeggiated notes.

Rotating the knob toward the left will make the

notes weaker, and rotating the knob toward the

right will make the notes stronger. At the center

position (12 o’clock), the velocity will be as

speciﬁed by the program parameter “Velocity”

(7: Ed–Arp/Ctrls, Setup page).

Note: You can control the tone effectively by

simultaneously adjusting the REALTIME

CONTROLS A-mode [1] (LPF CUTOFF), [2]

(RESONANCE/HPF), and [3] (EG-

INTENSITY) knobs.

Changing the length of the arpeggio

pattern (ARP-LENGTH)

1. Press the REALTIME CONTROLS [SELECT]

button to make the right “C” LED light.

2. Turn the [3] (ARP-LENGTH) knob to change

the length of the arpeggio pattern.

At the center position (12 o’clock), the length

will be the same as the arpeggiator’s “Lgth

(Length)” setting (7: Ed–Arp/Ctrls, Setup

page). Turn the knob toward the left to shorten

the pattern, or toward the right to lengthen the

pattern. The arpeggio pattern will play

repeatedly for the number of times speciﬁed by

LENGTH. Changing this value will change the

character of the pattern.

Note: This has no effect for the preset patterns

(UP, DOWN, ALT1, ALT2, RANDOM).

Saving your settings

The [ARP ON/OFF] button on/off status together

with the REALTIME CONTROLS knob and key

settings are saved when you write the program,

combination, or multi-set.

Editing arpeggio settings that

appear in the display

You can make arpeggiator-related settings in the

PROG 0: Play, Arp. Play page or in the PROG 7:

Ed–Arp/Ctrls, Setup and Zone pages. The 0: Play,

Arp. Play page contains selected parameters

(taken from the 7: Ed–Arp/Ctrls, Setup page) that

are particularly effective for editing during a per-

formance. However, parameters other than

“Swing” can be controlled as described in “Arpeg-

gio controllers” (☞p.91).
