that you play. If you want the velocity
value of each note to depend on how
strongly you play the keyboard, set
this parameter to “REAL”. If you want
each note to have a xed velocity
regardless of how strongly you play
the keyboard, set this parameter to the
desired value (1–127).
Parameter Value Explanation
Octave Range -3–+3
Sets the key range in octaves over
which arpeggio will take place. If you
want the arpeggio to sound using
only the notes that you actually play,
set this parameter to “0”. To have the
arpeggio sound using the notes you
play and notes 1 octave higher, set
this parameter to “+1”. A setting of “-1”
will make the arpeggio sound using
the notes you play and notes 1 octave
lower.
Accent Rate 0–100%
Modies the strength of accents and
the length of the notes to adjust the
“groove” feel of the arpeggio. A setting
of “100%” will produce the most
pronounced groove feel.
Shue Rate 0–100%
This setting lets you modify the note
timing to create shue rhythms.
With a setting of “50%” the notes
will be spaced evenly. As the value is
increased, the note timing will have
more of a dotted” (shue) feel.
