Arpeggio Hold Function; Arpeggio Pattern Types; Arpeggio Subdivide - Yamaha AN1x Owner's Manual

Setting The Arpeggiator Tempo
Set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to VOICE COMMON and
press Tempo [UP/DOWN] to set the tempo of the
Arpeggiator in BPM (Beats Per Minute).
If you want the clock of an external MIDI sequencer or drum
machine to control the AN1x's tempo, then set the Tempo to
"MIDI" (the first value located before "40") so that the two
devices will play in synchronization with each other.

Arpeggio Hold Function

Pressing Hold [UP/DOWN] lets you turn the Arpeggio
Hold function on and off. When Hold is set to "on",
"HOLD" will appear in reverse type in the lower right
corner of the LCD. After triggering the Arpeggiator by
playing the keyboard, the arpeggio will continue playing
automatically when you release the keys, until you switch
the Hold setting to "off", or press [ARPEGGIO/SEQ] to
stop the Arpeggiator. When set to "off", the Arpeggiator
will stop when you release the keys.

The Arpeggio Hold function is especially useful during live
performances when the Layer mode is set to "SPLIT" and
Keyboard Mode is set to "chrd&norm" (see page 35),
since you can trigger the arpeggio with notes to the left of
the Split Point, and use both hands to play chords or fills to
the right. Arpeggio Hold is also handy when trying out
different Arpeggiator Types or Subdivide settings, and is
literally indispensable for tweaking the tone generator
parameters for your arpeggios with the CONTROL knobs.

Arpeggio Pattern Types

The 30 arpeggio pattern Types are selected by pressing
Type/No [UP/DOWN]. The available Types are basically
divided into two groups, separated chords (Types 1-15),
and special arpeggios (Types 16-30).
Common
Arp /SEQ Type/No KbdMode Hold
Types 1-15 separate the chords you play in a variety of
ways, either generating arpeggios which occur up, down,
up and down, or randomly—over one, two or four
octaves. Types 16-30 are special types which vary in tone
or add subtle shifts or more complex dynamics and
rhythmic elements to the arpeggio.
For more information about Type/No, see page 85. For a list of available
Arpeggiator Types, see the Arpeggiator Type List in the separate Data List book.

Arpeggio Subdivide

Pressing Arpeggio Subdivide [UP/DOWN] lets you
designate one of the ten timing subdivision (rhythm
resolution) settings for the Arpeggiator pattern.
