3. Turn [VALUE] to select the desired Arpeggiator
pattern.
4. Press [WRITE] to perform the Patch Write operation (p.

To move to a different Arpeggiator parameter, use

automatically return to Play mode.
* If you don’t want to save the Patch, press [PLAY] to return to
Play mode.
Setting Tempo (ARP TEMPO)
You can freely vary the tempo of an arpeggio, and save the
tempo in the patch. This is done using the “ARP TEMPO”
(arpeggio tempo) parameter.
■ Setting Arpeggio Tempo

modified, and press [EFFECTS] to go into Patch Edit
mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select “ARP TEMPO.”

36).
To move to a different Arpeggiator parameter, use

Using the pedal to set the tempo
(Tap Tempo Teach function)
You can set the arpeggiator tempo by pressing a pedal
rhythmically at the desired tempo. This is called the Tap
Tempo Teach function.
When you enter Patch Edit mode and make arpeggiator-
related settings, Pedal 4 (CTRL) normally turns the
arpeggiator on and off.
Pedal 4 (CTRL) can also be used for the Tap Tempo Teach
function while you are setting the arpeggio tempo.
While the tempo is shown in the display for the Patch Edit
mode EFFECTS “ARP. TEMPO” parameter, repeatedly press
Pedal 4 (CTRL) at the desired tempo. The display will
indicate “TAP,” and the tempo will change accordingly.
When the tempo is set—when you’ve finished tapping—the
“TAP” indicator will disappear.

* The Tap Tempo function can also be activated using the
BANK SHIFT pedal (Up side) in Pedal Effect mode when
Arpeggiator is on.
* The modified tempo is a patch parameter. If desired, press the
[WRITE] button to perform the Patch Write operation and
save the tempo in the patch.
* Some preset patches set the value of “ARP TEMPO” to a
multiple of the actual tempo in order to achieve a fine tremolo
at the proper rate. In such cases, Tap Tempo may produce
unexpected results.
