The parameters of this display are applied to both Parts 1 and 2.

Arp Switch (Arpeggio Switch)

Parameter

Description

Switch

(Arpeggio Common 
Switch)

Determines whether Arpeggio is on or off for all Parts. This setting is the same as the [ARP] button on the 
panel. 

Settings:

off, on

Tempo

Determines the tempo for the Arpeggio.

Settings:

5 – 300

NOTE 

If you are using this instrument with an external sequencer, DAW software, or MIDI device, and you want to 
synchronize it with that device, set the “MIDI Sync” parameter in the MIDI display of Utility (

page 66

) to 

“external” or “auto.” When “MIDI Sync” is set to “auto” (only when MIDI clock is transmitted continuously) or 
“external,” the Tempo parameter here indicates “EXT” and cannot be changed.

NOTE

The tempo also can be set in the Tempo display by pressing the [TEMPO] button. It can also set by “playing” 
or tapping the [TEMPO] button several times repeatedly at the desired tempo. This function is referred to as 
“Tap Tempo.”

SyncQtzValue

(Arpeggio Sync 
Quantize Value)

Determines the actual timing at which the next Arpeggio playback starts when you trigger it, while an Arpeggio 
of a certain Part is playing back. This allows a more musical transition between successively played 
Arpeggios. When set to “off,” the next Arpeggio starts as soon as you trigger it. The number shown at right of 
each value indicates quarter-note resolution in clocks.

Settings:

off, 60 (32nd note), 80 (16th note triplet), 120 (16th note), 160 (8th note triplet), 240 (8th note), 320 (1/

4 note triplet), 480 (1/4 note)

General

Parameter

Description

KeyboardMode

split .......Part 1 is used for all keys higher than the “SplitPoint” setting; Part 2 is used for all keys below the 

“SplitPoint” setting.

SplitPoint

Determines the point (or key) at which the keyboard is split between the left and right parts.

Settings:

C -2  –  G8

NOTE

When “KeyboardMode” is set to “Split,” the value also can be determined by holding down the [SPLIT] button 
and pressing the desired key.

Cutoff

Determines the cutoff frequency for the Filter. This is applied to both filters assigned to Parts 1 and 2.

Settings:

Attack

(Attack time)

Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after a key is pressed. This is applied to both 
Parts 1 and 2.

Settings:

-64 - +0 – +63

Decay

(Decay time)

Determines how fast the volume falls from maximum attack level to the sustain level. This is applied to both 
Parts 1 and 2.

-64 - +0 – +63

Sustain

(Sustain Level)

Determines the sustain level at which the volume will continue while a note is held, after the initial attack and 
decay. This is applied to both Parts 1 and 2.
