Unit Multiply Adjusts the Arpeggio playback time based on tempo. By using this parameter, you can create a

different Arpeggio type from the original one. For example, if you set a value of 200%, the playback

time will be doubled and the tempo halved. On the other hand, if you set a value of 50%, the

playback time will be halved and the tempo doubled. Normal playback time is 100%.

Settings: 50%, 66%, 75%, 100%, 133%, 150%, 200%

Quantize Value Determines to what beats the note data in the Arpeggio will be aligned, or to what beats in the

Arpeggio the swing is applied. The number shown at right of each value indicates the length

assumes that the quarter-note resolution is 480.

Settings: 260 (32nd note), 6380 (16th note triplet), 6120 (16th note), 83160 (8th note triplet), 8240 (8th note),

43320 (1/4 note triplet), 4480 (1/4 note)

Quantize Strngth

(Quantize Strength)

Sets the “strength” by which note events are pulled toward the nearest quantize beats. A setting of

100% produces exact timing set via the “Quantize Value” parameter above. A setting of 0% results

in no quantization. A setting of 50% result that the note events are pulled to the half point between

the 0% and 100%.

Settings: 0% – 100%

Swing Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to produce a swing feel. Settings above 1 delay

the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings below -1 advance them. A setting of 0 produces exact timing

set via the “Quantize Value.” resulting in no swing. Judicious use of this setting lets you create swing

rhythms and triplet feels, such as shufﬂe and bounce.

Settings: -120 – +120

n When a triplet quantize value is used, the last note of each triplet will become the target for the swing.

Octave Range Speciﬁes the maximum Arpeggio range in octaves. Positive value settings increase the octave

range of the Arpeggio playback upward, whereas negative value settings increase it downward.

Settings: -3 – +0 – +3

Change Timing Determines the actual timing at which the Arpeggio type is switched when you select another type

during Arpeggio playback. When set to “realtime,” the Arpeggio type is switched immediately. When

set to “measure,” the Arpeggio type is switched at the top of the next measure.

Settings: realtime, measure

Velocity Mode Adjusts the velocity of the Arpeggio notes when receiving the Note On message.

Settings: original, thru

original............................... The Arpeggio plays back at the preset velocities included in the Arpeggio sequence data.

thru .................................... The Arpeggio plays back according to the velocity of the received Note On message.

Key Mode Determines how the Arpeggio plays back when receiving Note On messages.

Settings: sort, thru, direct, sort+direct, thru+direct

sort .................................... When the MOTIF-RACK XS receives speciﬁc Note On messages (for example, the notes of a

chord), the same sequence plays, no matter what order it the Note On messages are received.

thru .................................... When the MOTIF-RACK XS receives Note On messages (for example, the notes of a chord), the

resulting sequence differs depending on the order of the Note On messages received.

direct ................................. Note events of the Arpeggio sequence do not play; only the received Note On messages are

heard. When the Arpeggio plays back, events such as Pan and Brightness are applied to the

sound of your tone generator performance. Use this setting when the Arpeggio types includes

non-note data or when the Category type “Ctrl” is selected.

sort+direct......................... The Arpeggio is played back according to the “sort” setting here, and the received Note On

messages are also sounded.

thru+direct......................... The Arpeggio is played back according to the “thru” setting here, and the received Note On

messages are also sounded.

n Some Arpeggio types belonging to the “Cntr” Category may not have note events (page 56). When such an

Arpeggio type is selected and the Key Mode is set to “sort” or “thru,” no sound is produced even if the MOTIF-

RACK XS receives Note On messages.

Note Limit Lo/Hi Determines the lowest and highest notes in the Arpeggio’s note range. Notes received in this range

trigger the Arpeggio. If you specify the highest note ﬁrst and the lowest note second, for example

“C5 to C4,” then the note range covered will be “C -2 to C4” and “C5 to G8.”

Settings: C -2 – G8

Velocity Limit Lo/Hi Determines the lowest and highest velocity which can trigger the Arpeggio playback. Arpeggio will

only playback for notes received within its speciﬁed velocity range. If you specify the maximum

value ﬁrst and the minimum value second, for example “93 to 34,” there will be a velocity “hole” and

the velocity range covered will be “1 to 34” and “93 to 127.”

Settings: 1 – 127

Octave Shift Shifts the pitch of the Arpeggio up or down in octaves.

Settings: -10 – +10

Loop When this is set to “on,” the Arpeggio cycles while notes are held. When this is set to “off,” the

Arpeggio plays only once even if notes are held.

Settings: off, on
