any of the settings described below, except Chord.

• Up: Notes will sound from the lowest to the highest.

The lowest and highest notes will sound twice at the direction change.

Range: The octave range of the Arpeggiator. The available range is 0 to +3 octaves.

Gate: The length of the arpeggiated notes. The available range is 00%–99% of the current

Time Division setting. (See Edit Mode: Tap Tempo for more information.)

Swing: The amount of swing used in the arpeggiated notes. The available range is 50%–75%.

Pattern: Determines whether the Arpeggiator will use the pattern shown in the Pattern

Indicator (On) or not use it (Off). See the Pattern Steps description below.

Length: The number of steps in the Arpeggiator pattern. The available range is 0–16 steps.

Pattern Steps: The pattern at the bottom of the display on this page represents the rhythm in

which the notes will sound when the Arpeggiator is engaged (and when Pattern is set to On). A

star () indicates a sounding note, while an underscore (_) indicates a rest (no note will

sound). Use the Value Dial to move the cursor through the notes, and push the Value Dial to

change its state (between  and _).
