Tr igger Mode When this is set to “gate,” receiving a Note On message starts Arpeggio playback and receiving a
Note Off message stops it. When this is set to “toggle,” receiving a Note On message starts/stops
Arpeggio playback and receiving a Note Off message does not affect Arpeggio playback. Normally,
this parameter should be set to “gate.”
Settings: gate, toggle
n The Trigger Mode “toggle” setting overrides the Hold “on” setting in the Arp Edit display (page 66). In other words,
even when the Hold parameter is set to “on,” receiving a Note On message start/stops Arpeggio playback when
the Trigger Mode is set to “toggle.”
Accnt Vel Th
(Accent Velocity Threshold)
Some preset 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
Accnt Strt Qtz
(Accent Start Quantize)
Determines the start timing of the Accent Phrase when the Velocity specified in “Accent Vel Th”
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 a Random SFX function which will trigger special sounds (such as
guitar fret noises) when the Note Off message is received. This parameter determines whether the
Random SFX is active or not.
Settings: off, on
SFX Vel Offset
(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
SFX Key on Ctrl
(Random SFX Key on Control)
When this is set to “off,” the Random SFX special sound is played with the pre-programmed velocity.
When this is set to “on,” the Random SFX special sound is played with the velocity generated when
the Note On message is received.
Settings: off, on
Arp 1 – 5 Type (Arpeggio 1 – 5 Type)
Specific settings for a selected Arpeggio in the Arp Select display.
Main Ctgry (Main Category)
Sub Ctgry (Sub Category)
Determines the Arpeggio Main Category and Sub Category including the desired Arpeggio type.
Settings: See “Category List” in the Basic Structure (page 53).
Type Determines the desired Arpeggio Type number from the specified Category. The number and name
of the selected Arpeggio Type is shown at the second line from the top of the display. Refer to the
Arpeggio Type List in “Arpeggio Type List” (separate online documentation), described on page 8.
n For details about how to use the “Arpeggio Type List,” see page 53.
Vel Rate
(Velocity Rate Offset)
Determines the offset value by which the Arpeggio 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: -100% – +0% – +100%
GTime Rate
(Gate Time Rate Offset)
Determines the Gate Time (length) of the Arpeggio notes. 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: -100% – +0% – +100%
4 Filter
Filter parameter settings common to all elements of the Voice.
Cutoff Determines the common offset value of filter Cutoff Frequencies for all Elements (page 76). This
parameter can be changed directly via the Knob.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
Resonance Determines the common offset value of filter Resonance/Width for all Element (page 76). This
parameter can be changed directly via the Knob.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
5 EG
Using the AEG and FEG, you can control the sound transition from the moment the sound starts to the moment the sound stops. The EG
settings commonly affect all Elements.
FEG Attack
FEG Decay
FEG Release
FEG Depth
Determines the FEG (Filter Envelope Generator) parameters for each Part. Using the FEG, you can
control the transition in tonal color (Cutoff Frequency) from the moment the sound starts to the
moment the sound stops. The settings made here will be applied to the same parameters in the FEG
(page 77) of Element Edit as offset. “FEG Sustain” is not available here. “FEG Depth” can be
changed directly via the Knob.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
