Playing an Arpeggio
The XP-30’s Arpeggiator lets you produce an arpeggio
(broken chord) simply by playing a chord. In addition to
normal arpeggios, you can also accurately simulate guitar
cutting or strumming techniques depending on the
Arpeggiator settings. The Arpeggiator can in fact be used as
a handy automatic arranger.
By pressing [ARPEGGIO], the indicator lights and allows
playing arpeggios from the XP-30 keyboard.
* If you press [ARPEGGIO] to turn this function on when Single
Performance is selected, the current Part will play arpeggios.
When a Layer Performance is selected, an arpeggio will sound
for the Part specified by the Part parameter (SYSTEM/
ARPEGGIO/ARPEGGIO).
* The arpeggios played by the arpeggiator are also transmitted
from the MIDI OUT connector to external MIDI devices.
1. Make sure that the PLAY display of the sound source
mode (PERFORM, PATCH, RHYTHM, GM) is
displayed.
2. Press [ARPEGGIO] to turn the Arpeggiator on.
3. If you wish to change how the arpeggio is played, hold
down [ARPEGGIO] to access the ARP SELECT display,
move the cursor to the Style parameter, and change the
setting.
