About arpeggios
An arpeggio contains data in a grid of up to 32 steps by 16 notes, with settings that specify the chord style and how the arpeggio is sounded.
Each grid location contains one of the following items of data.
5 On: Note-on (with velocity data)
5 Tie: Tie (hold the preceding note)
5 O (Rest): Rest (not sounded)
Based on “the lowest key you press during input,” the relative key position and order are stored in the arpeggio data.
