Arpeggio Tone Mode: Set this to Fixed Note. This will
cause the tone to always sound at the specified pitch.

single note on the keyboard will sound all tones.
If you set this to As Played, the tones will be sounded
according to the notes you play on the keyboard.
Select an empty pattern and input the following rhythm
pattern.

Use the Setup Fixed Note button to open the dialog box.
