An example of creating a pattern
1. Access the ARP PATTERN> EDIT page.
2. Enter the tones shown in the following illustration.
3. When you play the keyboard as shown in the
illustration, the arpeggiator will begin playing.
Tone 0 corresponds to the pitch of the lowest key of the
chord you play on the keyboard. (If Sort is unchecked, it
will correspond to the pitch of the first note you play.)
4. For steps 01–08, adjust settings for “Pitch (Pitch
Offset),” “Gate,” “Vel (Velocity),” and “Flam.”
Pitch (Pitch Offset): This offsets the pitch of the
arpeggio note in semitones up or down. You can input the
same tone for each step, and change the Pitch Offset
value for each to create a melody using a single tone. (see
“Melody pattern”)
Gate: Specifies the length of the arpeggio note for each
step. With a setting of LGT (Legato), the note will
continue sounding either until the next note of the same
tone or until the end of the pattern. With a setting of Off,
the note will not sound.
Vel (Velocity): This specifies the strength of the note.
With a setting of Key, the note will sound at the strength
of how it was actually played.
The Gate and Veloc ity settings you select here will be
valid if the Gate and Velo city parameters (P-ARP>
SETUP page) of the program that was selected in
Program mode are set to Step. If these parameters have
a setting other than Step, the Gate and Velocity settings
that were specified for each individual step will be
ignored, and all notes of the arpeggio will sound
according to the settings in P-ARP> SETUP page. Be
sure to verify the settings of the program.
When specifying Gate, Velocity, and Swing, set the
PROG> ARP page parameters [GATE], [VEL], and
[SWING] to +00.
5. To rename the user arpeggio pattern, use the Rename
Arpeggio Pattern function. (“Rename Arpeggio
Pattern” on page 179 of the Parameter Guide)
6. Be sure to execute the Write operation if you want the
edited user arpeggio pattern to be saved in internal
memory. (→ p.124)
If you turn off the power without writing, the edited
content is lost.
7. If you want to save the state of the program at the
same time, return to program mode and write the
program. (→ p.122)

–2.
4. Play a single key; the arpeggio will begin playing.
