4.8 ARPEGGIATOR
This is a brand new function in place of the original sequencer (useless for today’s standards) featured in the
JX-10. The original Sequencer buttons [REC] [FUNCTION] and [START/STOP] now are used to trigger and
program the arpeggiator. There are 8 arpeggiator memories that can be recalled using buttons A–H. Buttons 1–7
are now used to recall arpeggiator parameters and settings.
Pressing the FUNCTION button toggles between an ARPEGGIATOR and INT/CART A1-H8 Patch.
To revert to Patch merely press the FUNCTION button again.
To start the arpeggiator press the START/STOP button
To edit arpeggiator parameters 1–7 press the FUNCTION button and edit settings with the α Dial.
To toggle the latch function on the arpeggiator press the REC button.
To save arpeggiator settings press the WRITE button, rotate the α Dial until “Write Arpeggiator” is displayed, then
press ENTER to save.
Important note:
• The Arpeggiator always works from the Upper Split point.
