3-7. ARP(Arpeggiator)
The arpeggiator plays a rhythmic or melodic pattern repeatedly according to the notes being pressed. The SP7 has 8
arpeggiators from A to H and detailed settings are available in two tabs, General and Steps.
General
In the General tab, you can set 9 parameters - Key Sort, Speed, Swing Time, Gate Time, Velocity Type, Fixed
Velocity, Fixed Key, Key Range Lo, and Key Range Hi.
Key Sort determines the note order in which the arpeggiator pattern will run.
The arpeggiator can run its patterns following one of 3 methods: as played (None), upwards (Up) or
downwards (Down).
Key Sort
Swing Time creates a swing rhythm by changing the note length and interval. It can be set to OFF, 25%, 50%,
or 75%. The higher the value, the stronger the swing feel.
Swing Time
The arpeggiator plays at the root tempo specified on the Zone Edit Common page.
The Speed parameter provides 3 options that allow you to further scale the speed of the arp: x1 (no
change) x0.5 (half-time) or x2.0 (double-time).
For example if the Common page tempo is set at 100 and you select x0.5 the resultant playback speed
would be 50. Choose x2.0 and the resultant tempo would be 200.
