Sub categories
The Arpeggio categories are divided into the sub categories listed below. Because the sub categories are listed based
on the music genre, it is easy to find the sub category appropriate for your desired music style.
Sub Category List
NOTE
Arpeggio types belonging to the Sub Categories marked with an asterisk (*) contain some velocity ranges, to
which each has a different phrase assigned. When a type of these categories is selected in the Voice mode, 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 – 127
PadL_*****: 1 – 1, 2 – 2, 3 – 127
PadH_*****: 1 – 112, 113 – 120, 121 – 127
Arpeggio Type Name
The Arpeggio Types are named according to certain rules and abbreviations. Once you understand these rules and
abbreviations, you’ll find it easy to browse through and select the desired Arpeggio Types.
Arpeggio type with “_ES” at the end of the type name (example: HipHop1_ES)
These Arpeggio types use the same multi Track Arpeggio architecture as the MOTIF ES. This ES type of
arpeggio has the following benefits: 1) These arpeggios can create complex notes and chords even
when triggered by one note. 2) The arpeggio closely follows the notes played on the keyboard (only in
the area where the arpeggio is assigned), allowing a good deal of harmonic freedom and the possibility
to “solo” using these arpeggios.
Arpeggio type with “_XS” at the end of the type name (example: Rock1_XS)
These Arpeggios use a newly developed chord recognition technology to determine what notes should
be played back by the Arpeggio. This XS type of arpeggio has the following benefits: 1) The arpeggios
respond only to an area on the keyboard where an XS type of arpeggio is assigned. Other areas of the
keyboard do not affect the chord recognition. This allows very natural keyboard playing across the
entire keyboard with arpeggio generated bass and backing parts. 2) The arpeggio will always play
harmonically correct parts. These are especially useful for bass and chordal backing parts.
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—giving greater authenticity and natural response to these Voices.
However Mega Voices have a very complex structure with many different layers that is 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 details regarding the Mega Voice Arpeggios, see the “Voice Type” of the “Arpeggio
Type List” in the “Data List” PDF document.
