Arpeggio problems
■ Cannot start the Arpeggio
Check whether the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button is turned on or off. When the Arpeggio doesn’t start even though the button is
turned on, check the following points.
•When the User Arpeggio type is selected, does the currently selected Arpeggio actually contain data?............................................................page 189
•Are the Arpeggio related parameters such as Note Limit and Velocity Limit set appropriately?...........................................................................page 191
•When this situation occurs in the Performance mode, check the ArpSwitch parameters for all Parts in the [PERFORM] → [EDIT] →Part selection → [F1]
VOICE →[SF2] MODE display. If parameters of all Parts are turned off, the Arpeggio will not be played back even if the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button is
turned on. ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................page 216
•When this situation occurs in the Song mode/Pattern mode, check the ArpSwitch parameter in the [SONG] or [PATTERN] → [MIXING] → [EDIT] → Part
selection → [F1] VOICE → [SF2] MODE display. If this parameter for the current Part is turned off, Arpeggio playback will not be triggered by your
keyboard performance even if the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button is turned on. ....................................................................................................page 235
■ Cannot stop the Arpeggio

recorded. For example, if the memory contains Songs/Patterns (phrases) that use up a large amount of memory, the memory may become full even
though the available Pattern or Song numbers are not all used............................................................................................................................page 275
•In the Pattern Record mode, does the specified track to which the Phrase is assigned have preset data? Recording cannot be done to a track that
