This block handles the audio signal input from the mLAN terminal (available only when the optional mLAN16E2 has been installed).
Various parameters such as volume, pan, and effect can be set for the audio signal and the sound is output together with other Voices.
The System Effects, Master Effects and Master EQ can be applied to the audio signal input via the mLAN terminal.
The Audio Input related parameters can be set in the following display.
This block lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases using the current Voice by simply pressing a note or notes on
the external MIDI keyboard. The Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords you play, giving you a
wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and performing.
Arpeggio Category
The Arpeggio types are divided into 17 categories as listed
below.
Category List
n
Categories named “GtMG” and “BaMG” include Arpeggio types
appropriate for using with a Mega Voice.
Arpeggio Sub Category
The Arpeggio categories are divided into sub categories as
listed below. Because the sub categories are listed based on
music genres, it is easy to find the sub category appropriate for
your desired music style.
Sub Category List
n
Arpeggio types belonging to the Sub Categories marked with an asterisk
(*) contain some velocity ranges, to each of which a different phrase is
assigned. When a type of these categories is selected, it is a good idea to
set the Velocity Limit of each Element to the same range as below.
Velocity ranges of each Arpeggio type
2Z_*****: 1 – 90, 91 – 127
4Z_*****: 1 – 70, 71 – 90, 91 – 110, 111 – 127
8Z_*****: 1 – 16, 17 – 32, 33 – 48, 49 – 64, 65 – 80, 81 – 96, 97 – 108, 109 –

Mega Voices and Mega Voice Arpeggios
Normal Voices use velocity switching to make the sound quality
and/or level of a Voice change according to how strongly or softly
you play the keyboard. This makes these Voices respond
naturally. However Mega Voices have a very complex structure
with many different layers, and are not suitable for playing
manually. Mega Voices were developed specifically to be played
by Mega Voice arpeggios to produce incredibly realistic results.
You should always use Mega Voices with Mega Voice Arpeggios
(included in “GtMG” and “BaMG” category). For information
about appropriate Arpeggio type for each Mega Voice, refer to
the Voice Type column of the Arpeggio Type List, separate online
documentation.
