Master Arpeggiator Parameters

Sync

The Sync parameter defines when a note is played in relation to when the 
key is pressed. When set to “Key Sync”, the note sounds the instant a key is 
pressed. When set to “Quantized”, the note does not sound until the next 
occurrence of the selected note value.

The following diagram illustrates how Key Sync and Quantize work.

Pre-Delay

The Pre-Delay value determines how long the arpeggiator is delayed before 
becoming active after the first “note-on.” During the pre-delay period, 
notes are played normally (as if the arpeggiator was off). After the pre-delay 
period has elapsed, the arpeggiator kicks in. Once you release all the keys 
on the controller, the pre-delay starts over with the next note-on. In combi-
nation with the Duration parameter, Pre-Delay lets you create many more 
variations in the arpeggio patterns. 

Please refer to the diagram on page 65.

You can play the preset normally as long as you don’t hold the notes longer 
than the Pre-Delay. If you do, the arpeggiator starts in. When used in 
conjunction with multiple arpeggiators, Pre-Delay allows you to offset the 
time between the different patterns.
