Key Mode
Determine how the Arpeggio plays back when playing the keyboard.
Settings: sort, thru, direct, sort+direct, thru+direct

When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of a chord), the same sequence plays, no matter what order you play the
notes.
When you play specific notes (for example, the notes of chord), the resulting sequence differs depending on the order of the notes.
Note events of the Arpeggio sequence do not play; only the notes you play on the keyboard are heard. When the Arpeggio plays
back, events such as Pan and Brightness are applied to the sound of your tone generator performance. Use this setting when the
Arpeggio types include non-note data or when the Category type “Ctrl” is selected.
The Arpeggio is played back according to the “sort” setting here, and the note pressed is also sounded.
The Arpeggio is played back according to the “thru” setting here, and the note pressed is also sounded.
NOTE: Some Arpeggio types belonging to the “Cntr” Category may not have note events (page 12). When such an Arpeggio type is
selected and the Key Mode is set to “sort” or “thru,” no sound is produced even if you press a note on the keyboard.

Note Limit Lo/Hi (Note Limit Low/High)
Determines the lowest and highest notes in the Arpeggio’s note range. Notes received in this range trigger the
Arpeggio. For example, setting a Note Limit of “C5 – C4” lets you trigger the Arpeggio by playing notes in the two
ranges of C -2 to C4 and C5 to G8; notes played between C4 and C5 have no effect on the Arpeggio.
Settings: C -2 – G8
NOTE: You can also set the Note directly from the Keyboard, by holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the desired key.
Velocity Limit Lo/Hi (Velocity Limit Low/High)
Determines the lowest and highest velocity which can trigger the Arpeggio playback. Arpeggio will only playback for
notes received within its specified velocity range. For example, setting a Velocity Limit of 93 – 34 lets you play the
Arpeggio from two separate velocity ranges: soft (1 – 34) and hard (93 – 127).
Settings: 1 – 127
NOTE: You can also set the velocity value directly from the Keyboard, by holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing a key.
Octave Shift
Shifts the pitch of the Arpeggio up or down in octaves.
Settings: -10 – +10
Loop
When this is set to “on,” the Arpeggio cycles while notes are held. When this is set to “off,” the Arpeggio plays only once
even if notes are held.
Settings: off, on
Trigger Mode
When this is set to “gate,” pressing the note starts Arpeggio playback and releasing the note stops it. When this is set to
“toggle,” pressing the note starts/stops Arpeggio playback and releasing the note does not affect Arpeggio playback.
Normally, this parameter should be set to “gate.”
Settings: gate, toggle
NOTE: The Trigger Mode “toggle” setting overcomes the Hold “on” setting in the Arpeggio Edit display (page 104). In other words, even
when the Hold parameter is set to “on,” pressing the note start/stops Arpeggio playback when the Trigger Mode is set to
“toggle.”

Accnt Vel Th (Accent Velocity Threshold)
Some 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 determined the minimum velocity that will trigger
the Accent Phrase.
Settings: off, 1 – 127
Appendix
Accnt Strt Qtz (Accent Start Quantize)
Determines the start timing of the Accent Phrase when the Velocity specified in Accent Velocity Threshold 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
