Arpeggiator Parameter Settings
The main Arpeggiator parameters include TYPE, TEMPO and
SUBDIVIDE. TYPE determines the arpeggio characteristics (up,
down, up and down, random, etc.). TEMPO of course controls
the speed of the arpeggiated chords. SUBDIVIDE determines the
arpeggio timing resolution (eighths, sixteenths, dotted notes,
etc.).
1. Activate the ARPEGGIATOR HOLD function and play a
chord.
2. Set the EDIT PARAMETER ROTARY switch to the Common
Edit 1 menu.
3. Press the TYPE [UP/DOWN] button and try out each
available setting. Also press SUBDIVIDE [UP/DOWN] to
hear how each of these settings affect each TYPE setting.

Arpeggio Pattern Length
The length of a CS2x arpeggio pattern is determined by three
factors which work together simultaneously: TYPE and
SUBDIVIDE settings, and the total number of notes you play for
an arpeggiated chord.
For example, say you play an arpeggiated pattern with a four-
note chord, such as a C major triad with an octave in the root. If
SUBDIVIDE is set to “1/8”, the Arpeggiator breaks down the
chord into eighths, and then arpeggiates it based on the TYPE
setting. If TYPE is set to “UpOct2” the arpeggio will climb over
two octaves, and will repeat after four beats. Then, if you change
SUBDIVIDE to “1/16”, the arpeggio will repeat after two beats.
Furthermore, if you then change TYPE to “UpOct1”, the arpeggio
will repeat after only one beat.
Because the number of notes you play in the chord has a direct
relationship on the pattern length based on SUBDIVIDE
resolution, sometimes unwanted syncopations may be
generated. As a general rule, you can avoid this by choosing an
even number of chord notes for even-numbered SUBDIVIDE
resolutions (1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32) and an odd number of notes
(e.g. three-note or five-note chords) with odd-numbered
resolutions (1/6, 1/12, 1/24).
However, this doesn’t apply for dotted note rhythms (3/8, 3/16
and 3/32). These resolutions are particularly interesting for odd-
numbered beats (e.g. 3/8 or 6/8), so you will need to play chords
with an even number of notes to correctly play back these three-
part rhythms.
As an example, set TYPE to “UpOct2” and SUBDIVIDE to “3/8”
resolution. Playing a triad will place the root note on the first beat
in the fourth bar, generating irregular cycles. A four-note chord,
however, generates symmetrical 4-bar cycles. The root note will
be repeated after the first cycle on bar 3, after the second cycle
on bar 5 and after the third cycle on bar 7, and so on, always
landing on the first beat.
In the case of the special Arpeggiator types (16-40), you will
notice that these aren’t particularly effective with triplet rhythms.
Best results are achieved with a 4/4 beat and a SUBDIVIDE
resolution of “1/16”, “1/8” or “1/32”.
