3 Quantize Strength
Sets the “strength” by which note events are pulled toward
the nearest quantize beats. A setting of 100% produces
exact timing set via the Quantize Value parameter above. A
setting of 0% results in no quantization. A setting of 50%
results in the note events being pulled halfway between 0%
and 100%.
This parameter can be changed via the Knob directly.
Settings: 0% – 100%
4 Swing*
Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to
produce a swing feel. Settings above 1 delay the Arpeggio
notes, whereas settings below 1 advance them. A setting
of 0 produces exact timing set via the Quantize Value,
resulting in no swing. Judicious use of this setting lets you
create swing rhythms and triplet feels, such as shuffle and
bounce.
This parameter can be changed via the Knob directly.
Settings: -120 – +120
5 Velocity Rate
Determines how much the velocity of the Arpeggio
playback is offset from the original value. For example, a
setting of 100% means the original velocities are used.
Settings below 100% will reduce the velocities of the
Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will
increase the velocities. If the resultant velocity value is less
than zero it will be set to 1, and if the resultant velocity is
greater than 128 it will be set to 127.
Settings: 0 – 200%
6 Gate Time Rate
Determines how much the Gate Time (length) of the
Arpeggio notes is offset from the original value. A setting of
100% means the original gate times are used. Settings
below 100% will shorten the gate times of the Arpeggio
notes, whereas settings above 100% will lengthen them.
The Gate Time cannot be decreased beyond its normal
minimum of 1; any values outside that range will
automatically be limited to the minimum.
Settings: 0 – 200%
7 Octave Range
Specifies the maximum Arpeggio range in octaves.
Positive value settings increase the octave range of the
Arpeggio playback upward, whereas negative value
settings increase it downward. This parameter can be
changed via the Knob directly.
Settings: -3 – +0 – +3
8 Loop
When this is set to “on,” the Arpeggio cycles while notes
are held. When this is set to “off,” the Arpeggio plays only
once even if notes are held.
Settings: off, on
9 Trigger Mode
When this is set to “gate,” pressing the note starts
Arpeggio playback and releasing the note stops it. When
this is set to “toggle,” pressing the note starts/stops
Arpeggio playback and releasing the note does not affect
Arpeggio playback. Normally, this parameter should be set
to “gate.”
Settings: gate, toggle
n The Trigger Mode “toggle” setting overcomes the Hold “on”
setting in the Arpeggio Main display (page 101). In other
words, even when the Hold parameter is set to “on,” pressing
the note start/stops Arpeggio playback when the Trigger Mode
is set to “toggle.”
) Accent Vel Threshold
(Accent Velocity Threshold)
Some Arpeggio types include special sequence data
called “Accent Phrase,” which will be played back only
when the velocities higher than a specified value are
received. This parameter determines the minimum velocity
that will trigger the Accent Phrase.
Settings: off, 1 – 127
! Accent Start Quantize
Determines the start timing of the Accent Phrase when the
Velocity specified in Accent Vel Threshold above is
received. When set to off, the Accent Phrase starts as soon
as the Velocity is received. When set to on, the Accent
Phrase starts on the beat specified for each Arpeggio type
after the Velocity is received.
Settings: off, on
@ Random SFX
Some Arpeggio types feature the Random SFX function
which will trigger the special sound such as fret noise of
the guitar when the note is released. This parameter
determines whether the Random SFX is active or not.
Settings: off, on
# Random SFX Velocity Offset
Determines the offset value by which the Random SFX
notes will be shifted from their original velocities. If the
resultant velocity value is less than zero it will be set to 1,
and if the resultant velocity is greater than 128 it will be set
to 127.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
$ Random SFX Key On Control
When this is set to “on,” the Random SFX special sound is
played with the preprogrammed velocity. When this is set
to “off,” the Random SFX special sound is played with the
velocity generated when the note is pressed.
Settings: off, on
