Basic Structure 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). Basic Structure Functional Blocks Tone Generator A/D Input Arpeggio Sequencer Audio Record/Play Controller Effect Internal Memory 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 Rock Rock Z.Pad Zone Velocity for Pad* R&B R&B Filtr Filter Elect Electronic Exprs Expression Jazz Jazz Pan Pan World World Mod Modulation Genrl General Pbend Pitch Bend Comb Combination Asign Assign 1/2 Zone Zone Velocity* 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. Velocity ranges of each Arpeggio type 2Z_*****: 1 – 90, 91 – 127 4Z_*****: 1 – 70, 71 – 90, 91 – 110, 111 – 127 8Z_*****: 1 – 16, 17 – 32, 33 – 48, 49 – 64, 65 – 80, 81 – 96, 97 – 108, 109 – 127 PadL_*****: 1 – 1, 2 – 2, 3 – 127 PadH_*****: 1 – 112, 113 – 120, 121 – 127 Reference Voice Performance Multi SEQ Play Master Remote File Audio Rec/Play Utility Appendix About MIDI Display Messages Troubleshooting Arpeggio Type Name 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).

For a complete listing of the Arpeggio Types, refer to the Data List (separate PDF documentation). 1 Main Category Indicates an Arpeggio Category. 2 Sub Category Indicates an Arpeggio Sub Category. 3 ARP No (Arpeggio Number) Indicates the number of the Arpeggio type. 4 ARP Name (Arpeggio Name) Indicates the Arpeggio Name. 5 Time Signature Indicates the time signature or meter of the Arpeggio type. 6 Length Indicates the data length (amount of measures) of the Arpeggio type. When the Loop parameter* is set to “off,” the Arpeggio plays back for this length and stops.

Note that this tempo is not set automatically when selecting an Arpeggio type. 8 Accent The circle indicates that the Arpeggio uses the Accent Phrase feature (page 10). 9 Random SFX The circle indicates that the Arpeggio uses the SFX feature (page 10). ) Voice Type Indicates the voice type appropriate for the Arpeggio Type. When the Voice With Arpeggio parameter (page 104) is set to “on” in the Arp Edit display of the Multi Part Edit mode, the voice of this type is automatically selected. *The “Loop” can be set in the Arp Edit display (page 36) of the Voice Edit, Arp Edit display (page 84) of the Performance Part Edit and Arp Edit display (page 104) of the Multi Part Edit.
