• Press the control surface ARP switch and turn knob 

1 to adjust the duration of the arpeggiated notes.

Rotating the knob toward the left will shorten the 
duration of the notes, and rotating it toward the 
right will lengthen the duration of the notes. At the 
center position (12 o’clock), the note length will be 
as specified by the program parameter: Gate (Prog 
P7: ARP/DT– ARP Setup page).

The knob setting is saved when you write each 

program.

You can also switch the control surface to 

RealTime Control A-mode and adjust knob 4 (EG 
RELEASE) to adjust the length of the arpeggiated 
notes.

• Press the control surface ARP switch and turn knob 

2 to adjust the dynamics of the arpeggiated notes.

Turning the knob toward the left will make the 
notes softer, and turning it toward the right will 
make the notes stronger. When the knob is in the 
center position (12 o’clock), the value of the pro-
gram parameter Velocity (Prog P7: ARP/DT– Arp 
Setup page) will be used.

The state of the knob is saved when you write 

the program.

You can switch the control surface to RealTime 

Control A-mode and adjust knob 1 (LPF CUTOFF), 
knob 2 (RESONANCE/HPF), and knob 3 (EG-
INTENSITY) to achieve the same effect.

• Press the control surface ARP switch and turn knob 

3 to adjust the length of the arpeggio pattern.

Turning the knob toward the left will shorten the 
pattern, and turning it toward the right will 
lengthen the pattern. When the knob is in the center 
position (12 o’clock), the value of the program 
parameter Length (Global P6: Arpeggio Pattern– 
Setup page) will be used.

This adjustment is available only if you’ve selected 
a user arpeggio pattern U0000(INT)–
U1027(USER). If the arpeggio pattern is one of the 
preset arpeggio patterns P0–P4, turning the knob 
will not change the length. 

The state of the knob is saved when you write 

the program.

• Press the control surface ARP switch, and turn 

knob 4 to change the range of octaves in which the 
arpeggiator will generate notes.

Turning the knob toward the left will narrow the 
range, and turning it toward the right will broaden 
the range. When the knob is in the center position 
(12 o’clock), the value of the program parameter 

 (Prog P7: ARP/DT– Arp Setup page) will be 

used.

Depending on the program that’s selected, 

operating knob 4 may not produce any effect.

The knob setting is saved when you write each 

program.
