Playing an arpeggio
The XP-80’s Arpeggiator lets you produce an arpeggio (bro-
ken chord) simply by playing a chord. In addition to normal
arpeggios, you can also accurately simulate guitar cutting or
strumming techniques depending on the Arpeggiator set-
tings. The Arpeggiator can in fact be used as a handy auto-
matic arranger.
By pressing [ARPEGGIO], the indicator lights and allows
playing arpeggios from the XP-80 keyboard.
✳
If you press [ARPEGGIO] to turn this function on
when Single Performance is selected, the current Part
will play arpeggios. When a Layer Performance is
selected, an arpeggio will sound for the Part specified
by the Part parameter (SYSTEM/Arpeg/Arpeggo).
✳
The arpeggios played by the arpeggiator are also trans-
mitted from the MIDI OUT connector to external MIDI
devices.
(Basic Procedure)
❶
Make sure that the Play display of a sound source
mode (PERFORM, PATCH, RHYTHM or GM) is up.
❷
Press [ARPEGGIO] to turn the Arpeggiator on.
The Arpeggio window for setting Arpeggiator parameters
opens.
✳
If the Play display of a sequencer mode (SEQ or
CHAIN) is up, it is possible to turn the Arpeggiator on
(the button indicator is lit) but the Arpeggio window
will not open.
✳
To change the sound while the Arpeggio window is
open, use BANK [1]–[8], NUMBER [1]–[8] or
[a/b/c/d].
❸
If you wish to change the arpeggio style, move the cur-
sor to “Arpeggio Style” and select the style you want.
✳
The selection you make here will also affect the Style
parameter (SYSTEM/Arpeg/Arpeggio) settings.
There are 33 arpeggio styles available. For selection, refer to
the following guideline.

There are also other styles besides the above, including

“Arpeggio display” (p.93).
❹
When you wish to change the tempo of an arpeggio,
move the cursor to “
” and specify the value. If you
want to play an arpeggio along with the song play-
back, set the tempo here.
✳
This setting will also affect the Tempo parameter (SYS-
TEM/Arpeg/Arpeggio) settings.
❺
To change the key range over which you want arpeg-
gio to take place, move the cursor to “Oct” and specify
the value.
If you want the arpeggio to sound using only the notes that
you actually play, set this to 0. With a +1 setting, arpeggio
will take place over a range up to 1 octave higher than the
notes you play. A -1 setting will result in arpeggio occurring
over the range down to 1 octave lower than the notes you
play.
✳
This setting will also affect the Octave Range parame-
ter (SYSTEM/Arpeg/Arpeggio) settings.
❻
To close the Arpeggio window, press [F6] (Close).
To reopen the Arpeggio window, press [F6] (Arpeg).

When the Arpeggio window is closed, [F6] will be
assigned to re-open the Arpeggio window. If you wish
to use the button’s original function on each Play dis-
play, hold down [SHIFT] as you press [F6].
✳
If you don’t like opening the Arpeggio window each
time [ARPEGGIO] is pressed, set the Arpeggio
Window parameter (SYSTEM/Arpeg/Arpeggio) DIS-
ABLE.
❼
Play a chord to produce an arpeggio.
✳
If you play a chord while a song is playing back, an
arpeggio will begin at the timing of the following
eighth note.
❽
To stop the arpeggio, press [ARPEGGIO] to turn off
the indicator.
The Arpeggio window will also close.
