Arpeggio type with “_XS” at the end of the
type name (example: Rock1_XS)
These Arpeggios use a newly developed chord recognition
technology to determine what notes should be played
back by the Arpeggio. This XS type of arpeggio has the
following benefits:
The arpeggios respond only to any area on the keyboard
where an XS type of arpeggio is assigned. Other areas of
the keyboard do not effect the chord recognition. This
allows very natural keyboard playing across the entire
keyboard with arpeggio generated bass and backing
parts.
The arpeggio will always play harmonically correct parts.
These are especially useful for bass and chordal
backing parts.
See page 64 for more details.
nCombining these two kinds of Arpeggios types (named
“***_ES” and “***_XS”) in performances when creating Songs
and Patterns allows tremendous interactivity and creative
freedom.
Arpeggio type with a normal name (example:
UpOct1)
In addition to the above types, there are three playback
types: the Arpeggios created for use of Normal Voices and
played back using only the played notes and their octave
notes (page 64), the Arpeggios created for use of Drum
Voices (page 65), and Arpeggios containing mainly non-
note events (page 65).
