* 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.
