There are a total of 9 parameters that can be set for the 
Arpeggiator, but the most important is the Style parameter 
setting. The arpeggio pattern is largely determined by this 
setting.
When you set the Style parameter, the Motif, Beat Pattern, 
Accent Rate and Shuffle Rate parameters will automatically 
be set to optimum settings. After selecting the style, you can 
also set Octave Range and Key Velocity parameters, etc.
If this selection does not provide the pattern you want, 
modify the settings of the Motif, Beat Pattern, Accent Rate 
and Shuffle Rate parameters to add variations to the style as 
desired.
