31 Can I edit the I-Arpeggio pattern data?
No, it is not possible to edit the I-Arpeggio pattern data itself.
A pattern that you entered using STEP EDIT can be used as part of an
I-Arpeggio. In this case, however, it is used as xed pattern data, and does
not change according to the performance.
32 Can I record or edit the I-Arpeggio
performance?
You can edit it.
Each cycle of the arpeggio performance is always recorded internally, and
can be accessed and edited by the STEP EDIT function. The edited pattern
can be used as an arpeggio user pattern, or used as MIDI data in your DAW
software.
33 Can I prevent the I-Arpeggio [TYPE] and
[RHYTHM] knobs from changing the sound or
tempo?
Yes.

and use knob [2] to turn each "OFF."

of an external sequencer?

your situation.

was too small to hear might be played in STEP EDIT.
