Changing the arpeggiator pattern
while you play
If you press [PALETTE SELECT] (the arpeggio
{ON /OFF] indicator will change to blinking), you can
use the Combination Palette Sliders and the Pitch
Bender to change the arpeggio pattern while it is
playing.
Combination Palette Sliders 1/2 will control the func-
tion assigned to them by the Slider 1/ Slider 2 setting
(“Arpeggiator parameters you can set” p.21). For
example by moving a slider away from you, the
Tempo from 20 to 250, or the Groove Rate could be
gradually changed from 0 to 100.
* When you press [PALETTE SELECT] so that the
sliders can be used to control the arpeggio pattern,
the function and current value of each slider (Slider
1 = Tempo, Slider 2 = Groove Rate, etc.) will appear
in the display for several seconds. This display will
also appear whenever you move the sliders.

* When you press [PALETTE SELECT] again so that
the sliders will no longer control the arpeggio pat-
tern, the function and value of each slider will again
be displayed for a few seconds.
* The sliders do not always control the arpeggio pat-
tern, but will function differently depending on
other settings. For details refer to “About the XP-
10’s controllers” (p.30).
Using the Pitch Bender you can also modify the
Octave Range setting explained in “Arpeggiator para-
meters you can set” (p.21).
When the Pitch Bender is in the center position, the
arpeggio will be played in the specified Octave
Range. If the Pitch Bender is moved to the far left, -3
will be added to the Octave Range. For example if the
Octave Range is +1, moving the Pitch Bender to the
far left will result in an Octave Range setting of -2.
If the Pitch Bender is moved to the far right, +3 will be
added to the Octave Range. For example if the Octave
Range is +1, moving the Pitch Bender to the far right
will result in an Octave Range setting of +4.

1. Press [ON/OFF].
The indicator will light, and arpeggios can be played.
2. Press [PALETTE SELECT].
The [ON/OFF] indicator will blink at the tempo of the
arpeggio.
While the indicator is blinking, you can use the sliders
or pitch bender to modify the arpeggio pattern.
* For several seconds after the [PALETTE SELECT] is
pressed, the display will show the function and
value of the sliders.
3. Each time you press [PALETTE SELECT], the
[ON/OFF] indicator will alternate between lit and
blinking.
While the indicator is lit, the sliders and pitch bender
will function as follows.
If the sliders are set to control X-dual as explained in
chapter 2 “Changing the X-dual controller” (p.20) and
you press [X-DUAL] to select X-dual, they will control
X-dual. If another controller has been selected to con-
trol X-dual, the sliders will control the function that
was selected as explained in chapter 3 “Using the
Combination Palette Sliders to modify the sound”
(p.30).
The Pitch Bender will modify the pitch of the sound
(“Raising and lowering the pitch in realtime (Pitch
Bend)” p.28).
