Roland Fantom XR - Playing Arpeggios; Arpeggio Operation

Playing Arpeggios
The Fantom-XR contains an arpeggio function that automatically
generates arpeggios. By using the arpeggio, you can produce an
arpeggio simply by holding down one or more keys.
The way in which the arpeggio is generated is determined by the
“Arpeggio Style.” When the Fantom-XR is shipped from the factory,
it contains 128 “preset” arpeggio styles, and 128 “user” arpeggio
styles in which you can store your own creations.
Arpeggio Styles are not part of a patch or performance; they are
handled as separate data. This means that a certain arpeggio
style can be used with more than one patch or performance.
In Performance mode, you can easily create ensemble backings by
using the arpeggio in conjunction with Rhythm Patterns (p. 107).
1. Press [ARP].
If you’re in Patch mode
* In Patch mode, select a patch before you proceed.
The Arpeggio/Chord Switch screen will appear.
If you’re in Performance mode
The Arp/Chd/Rhy Switch screen will appear.
2. Turn the VALUE dial or press or to select “Arp.”

3. Press the VALUE dial or use [INC][DEC] to turn arpeggio
on/off.

If this is on, an arpeggio will be produced according to the notes
you hold down on an external MIDI keyboard.
In arpeggio settings, the Style (Arpeggio Style) (p. 98) is
particularly important. The playback pattern of the arpeggio is
determined mainly by this selection.
For details regarding each parameter, refer to “Arpeggio
Settings” (p. 98).
By using the following procedure, you can produce arpeggios even
without continuing to press the keyboard.
1. Press [ARP].
The Arpeggio/Chord Switch screen (in Performance mode, the
Arp/Chd/Rhy Switch screen) will appear.

2. Turn the VALUE dial or press or to select “Hold.”
3. Press the VALUE dial or use [INC][DEC] to turn hold on/off.
4. Play a chord on your keyboard.
If you play a different chord or notes while the arpeggio is
being held, the arpeggio will change accordingly.

When performing with the Arpeggio, you can also use it along
with the Chord Memory function (p. 104). After first storing
complex Chord Forms in memory, you can then call them up
when Arpeggio function is on, and you can easily play complex
arpeggio sounds just by pressing a single key.
