Selecting the Arpeggio Type
1Press the [EDIT] key in Voice Play Mode. You
will enter Voice Edit Mode at the screen where
you previously exited.
2Turn Knob [A] fully anti-clockwise until Common
is displayed on the bottom line. Voice Edit Mode
consists of two different Edit screens: Common
Edit (for parameters common to all Drum
keys/Elements) and Drum key/Element Edit. The
Arpeggiator parameters are found in the Common
Edit screens that you have now selected.
3Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to the ARP
Type (Arpeggio Type) screen.
If you use the [PAGE] knob while holding down the
[SHIFT] key, a menu will be displayed. You can
quickly jump to the ARP screen by using the [PAGE]
knob to move the cursor to the ARP item in the
menu, then releasing the [SHIFT] key (Page 80).
4Use Knob [B] to jump to the Type parameter.
Now use Knob [B], the [DATA] knob or the
[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys to select the
desired Arpeggio Type. Let’s choose
“BigBeat2” here.

5Use Knob [1] or the [ARPEGGIO] key on the
front panel to switch the arpeggiator on. When
you play the keyboard, the drum pattern can
now be heard.
You can play multiple patterns simultaneously by
pressing more than one note on the keyboard.
Now try assigning different Arpeggio Type and
Drum Voice settings. There are many different
drum patterns available.
Arpeggio Types are divided into the five
following categories and applications are not
just limited to drum patterns. You can also
select Arpeggio Types for backing chords,
basslines and so on.
Next, why not try out Arpeggio Types with
Normal Voices and Phrase Clips?
When setting the Arpeggio Category to Ct
(Control), you also need to set the Key Mode
parameter (two screens ahead) to “direct.”
Sq (Sequence):
Creates a general arpeggio phrase. Mainly octave
up/down phrases.
Ph (Phrase):
Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting
with “Techno,” there are phrases for a wide
variety of musical genres, and for creating
backing tracks for guitar, piano and other
instruments.
Dr (Drum Pattern):
Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres
covered include rock and dance. This Type is ideal
for use with drum and percussion sounds.
Cl (Phrase Clip):
Select this type to a Clip Kit that is assigned with
loop-mixed or loop-divided Phrase Clips, to create a
new arpeggio pattern.
Ct (Control):
Creates tonal changes. No note information is
created. The Key Mode parameter in Arpeggio
Mode must be set to “direct.”
Details about Arpeggio Types are given in the
separate Data List.
You can also use a foot switch (optional) to switch
the Arpeggiator on and off (CS6x). Details about
assigning parameters to the foot switch are given on
Pages 53, 165.
