Display Parameter Explanation Setting
STYLE Select how the sound will be played. Refer to “Arpeggio set-
tings” (p. 28).
* Arpeggio settings are
common to Adlib and
Arpeggiator 1 and 2.
MOTIF Specify the order in which the component notes of the chord
will sound.
BEAT PATTERN Specify the pattern of accent locations and note lengths.
SHUFFLE RATE You can vary the timing of the backbeats to create shuffle
rhythms. With a setting of 50%, the notes will be spaced
equally. As this value is increased, the notes will be played
with a more “dotted” feel.
* When the Beat Pattern setting is 1/4, no “shuffle” feel will
be applied even if you increase the Shuffle Rate.
50–90(%)
ACCENT RATE You can add expression to the arpeggio by varying the
strength and note length of the accented notes. Increasing
this value will produce a greater sense of groove.
0–100
OCTAVE RANGE Specify the pitch range of the arpeggio in octave units. Low-
ering this value below 0 will cause the arpeggio to be played
in a pitch range below the chord you specified.
-3–3
OCTAVE SHIFT Raise or lower the pitch that is sounded, in units of an oc-
tave.
-3–3
If you switch to another style without saving the
edited arpeggio settings in a user style, your
settings will be lost.
