[. . . ] Various arpeggio types suited for bass Keyboard Mega voices (see note below). Various arpeggio types suited for synth pad voices and special musical ef fects voices, including percussive sounds. Various arpeggio types suited for drum and percussion voices (drum kits). These are combination arpeggios, with separate phrases suitable for drum voices, bass voices, and chord/melody instruments. Various arpeggio types programmed primarily with Control Change and Pitch Bend data. These arpeggio types change the tone or pitch of the sound, rather than play specifi c notes. When using a type of this categor y, set the KeyMode parameter to "direct" in each mode.

Arpeggios for Normal Voices Arpeggio types (belonging to the categories except for the DrPC and Cntr) created for use of Normal Voices have the following two playback types. Playback only of the played notes Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played chord n n The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note and its octave notes. These Arpeggio types have the several sequences each of which is suited for a certain chord type. Even if you press only one note, the Arpeggio is played back using the programmed sequence -- meaning that notes other than the ones you play may be sounded. Adding notes to those already held changes the sequence accordingly -- in other words, the arpeggio plays back according to the chord you play. The two playback types above are not distinguished by the category name or type name. Since these types are programmed for Normal Voices, using them with Drum Voices may not give musically appropriate results. 124 Owner's Manual Internal Structure (System Overview) Arpeggios for Drum/Percussion Voices -- Category: DrPc These arpeggio types are programmed specifically for use with Drum Voices, giving you instant access to various rhythm patterns. Three different playback types are available. Playback of a drum pattern Playback of a drum pattern, plus additional played notes (assigned drum instruments) Playback only of the played notes (assigned drum instruments) n n Pressing any note(s) will trigger the same rhythm pattern. Adding notes to the one already held produces additional sounds (assigned drum instruments) for the drum pattern, Playing a note or notes will trigger a rhythm pattern using only the notes played (assigned drum instruments). Keep in mind that even if you play the same notes, the triggered rhythm pattern differs depending on the order of the notes played. This gives you access to different rhythm patterns using the same instruments simply by changing the order in which you play the notes. The three playback types above are not distinguished by the category name or type name. Since these types are programmed for Drum Voices, using them with Normal Voices may not give musically appropriate results. Basic Structure Arpeggios for Performances -- Category: Comb The Arpeggio types belonging to the category "Comb" are programmed so that different arpeggios are triggered -- an arpeggio for a Normal Voice and an arpeggio for a Drum Voice -- depending on the played note. These types are useful in the Performance mode in which multiple voices (Drum Voice and Normal Voice) are combined in a layer since these types enable you trigger the arpeggio for the Normal Voice and the Drum Voice at the same time. Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events -- Category: Cntr These arpeggio types are programmed primarily with Control Change and Pitch Bend data. They are used to change the tone or pitch of the sound, rather than play specific notes. When using a type of this category, set the KeyMode parameter to "direct" with the following operations.
