Playback only of the played notes (assigned drum
instruments)
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 when the Key Mode parameter is set to “thru” or
“thru+direct.”
n The three playback types above are not distinguished by category name
or type name. You’ll have to actually play the types and hear the difference.
n Since these types are programmed for Drum Voices, using them with
Normal Voices may not give musically appropriate results.
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. In fact,
some types contain no note data at all. When using a type of this
category, set the Key Mode parameter to “direct,” “thru+direct,”
or “sort+direct.”
n The Key Mode parameter can be set in the Arp Edit display (pages 66 and
96) of Voice Common Edit and Multi Part Edit.

Tips for Arpeggio playback
The Arpeggio function is useful for creating original songs as well
as a creative aid in your live performance, allowing you to
automatically trigger high-quality MIDI sequence phrases that
match the selected Voice or your desired music genre.
For details about how to use this function, refer to page 40 in the
Quick Guide section.
