Sub Category
The Arpeggio categories are divided into sub categories as listed below. Because the sub categories are listed based
on the music genre, it is easy to find the sub category appropriate for your desired music style.
Sub Category List
NOTE Arpeggio types belonging to the Sub Categories marked with an asterisk (*) contain certain velocity ranges,
to each of which a different phrase is assigned. When a type of these categories is selected in the Voice
mode, it is a good idea to set the Velocity Limit of each Element to the same range as below.
Arpeggio Type Name
Mega Voices and Mega Voice Arpeggios
Normal Voices use velocity switching to make the sound quality and/or level of a Voice change
according to how strongly or softly you play the keyboard. This makes these Voices respond naturally.
However Mega Voices have a very complex structure with many different layers that are not suitable for
playing manually. Mega Voices were developed specifically to be played by Mega Voice arpeggios to
produce incredibly realistic results. You should always use Mega Voices with Mega Voice Arpeggios
(included in “GtMG” and “BaMG” category). For information about the Arpeggio type appropriate for
each Mage Voice, refer to the Voice Type of the Arpeggio Type list in the Data List (separate PDF
documentation).

The Arpeggio Types are named according to certain rules and abbreviations. Once you understand these rules and
abbreviations, you will find it easy to browse through and select the desired Arpeggio Types.
Arpeggio type with “_ES” at the end of the type name (example: HipHop1_ES)
These Arpeggio types use the same multi track Arpeggio architecture as the MOTIF ES. This ES type of
arpeggio has the following benefits: These arpeggios can create complex notes and chords even when
triggered by one note. The arpeggio closely follows the notes played on the keyboard (but the area
where the arpeggio is assigned) allowing a good deal of harmonic freedom and the possibility to “solo”
using these arpeggios. For details, see page 11.
Arpeggio type with “_XS” at the end of the type name (example: Rock1_XS)
These Arpeggios use a newly developed chord recognition technology to determine what notes should
be played back by the Arpeggio. This XS type of arpeggio has the following benefits: The arpeggios
respond only to any area on the keyboard where an XS type of arpeggio is assigned. Other areas of the
keyboard do not effect the chord recognition. This allows very natural keyboard playing across the
entire keyboard with arpeggio generated bass and backing parts. The arpeggio will always play
harmonically correct parts. These are especially useful for bass and chordal backing parts. See page
11 for more details.
Arpeggio type with a normal name (example: UpOct1)
In addition to the above types, there are three playback types: the Arpeggios created for use of Normal
Voices and played back using only the played notes and their octave notes (page 11), the Arpeggios
created for use of Drum Voices (page 11), and Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events (page 12).
