Basic Structure

Appendix

Voice with Arp (Voice with Arpeggio)

Each Arpeggio type is assigned a specific Voice best suited to the type. This parameter determines whether or not the

appropriate Voice registered to each Arpeggio type is assigned to the edited Part. When set to “on,” the appropriate

Voice is assigned to the edited Part in place of the currently assigned Voice. When set to “off,” the appropriate Voice is

not assigned to the edited Part. The currently assigned Voice is maintained.

Settings: off (not copied), on (copied)

Velocity Rate

Determines the offset value by which the Arpeggio notes will be shifted from their original velocities. If the resultant

velocity value is less than 1 it will be set to 1, and if the resultant velocity value is greater than 127 it will be set to 127.

Settings: 0 – 200%

Gate Time Rate

Determines how much the Gate Time (length) of the Arpeggio notes is offset from the original value. A setting of 100%

means the original gate times are used. Settings below 100% will shorten the gate times of the Arpeggio notes, whereas

settings above 100% will lengthen them. 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: 0 – 200%

Unit Multiply

Adjusts the Arpeggio playback time based on tempo. By using this parameter, you can create a different Arpeggio type

from the original one. For example, if you set a value of 200%, the playback time will be doubled (tempo is halved). On

the other hand, if you set a value of 50%, the playback time will be halved and the tempo doubled. Normal playback

time is 100%.

Settings: 50%, 66%, 75%,100%, 133%, 150%, 200%

Quantize Value

Determines to what beats the note data in the Arpeggio will be aligned, or determines to what beats in the Arpeggio the

swing is applied. The number shown at right of each value indicates the resolution of the quarter notes in clocks.

Settings: 60 (32nd note), 80 (16th note triplet), 120 (16th note), 160 (8th note triplet), 240 (8th note), 320 (1/4 note triplet), 480 (1/4 note)

Quantize Strngth (Quantize Strength)

Sets the “strength” by which note events are pulled toward the nearest quantize beats. A setting of 100% produces

exact timing set via the Quantize Value parameter above. A setting of 0% results in no quantization. A setting of 50%

result that the note events are pulled to the half point between the 0% and 100%.

Settings: 0% – 100%

Swing

Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to produce a swing feel. Settings above 0 delay the Arpeggio notes,

whereas settings below 0 advance them. A setting of 0 produces exact timing set via the Quantize Value, resulting in no

swing. Judicious use of this setting lets you create swing rhythms and triplet feels, such as shuffle and bounce.

Settings: -120 – +120

NOTE: When the Quantize Value parameter is set to the triplet value, the Swing is applied to the last note of each triplet.

Octave Range

Specifies the maximum Arpeggio range in octaves. Positive value settings increase the octave range of the Arpeggio

playback upward, whereas negative value settings increase it downward.

Settings: -3 – +0 – +3

Change Timing

Determines the actual timing at which the Arpeggio type is switched when you select another type during Arpeggio

playback. When set to “realtime,” the Arpeggio type is switched immediately. When set to “measure,” the Arpeggio type

is switched at the top of the next measure.

Settings: realtime, measure
