Playing arpeggios
On the S-1, you can automatically arpeggiate the chords you play on the keyboard pad. This is the arpeggiator function.
The arpeggiator on the S-1 works when you press multiple keyboard pads at the same time. When you press a single note using a
non-legato technique (by pressing the next keyboard pad only after you’ve released the previous pad), the arpeggio plays
normally. In this way, you can make the arpeggios play depending on how you press the pads.
Turning the arpeggiator on
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [8] (ARPEGGIO ON).
2. Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select “On”.
To turn the arpeggiator off, select “OFF” in step 2.
Press pad [8] (ARPEGGIO ON) repeatedly while holding down the [SHIFT] button to toggle the arpeggio on/off. (Ver. 1.02)
