When SceneSw " both" is set in SPLIT mode, depending on selected arpeggio
Type, as well as Split Point setting and the position at which you play the keys,
certain notes of the arpeggiated chords may cross the Split Point, i.e., lower notes
will play Scene 1 and higher notes will play Scene 2 .

Arpeggio Pa ttern Length
The leng th o f an AN 1 x arpeg g io pattern is determined by
three facto rs which wo rk to g ether simultaneo usly: Arpeg g io
T ype, Arpeg g io Subdivide setting , and the to tal number o f
no tes yo u play fo r an arpeg g iated cho rd.
Fo r example, say yo u play an arpeg g iated pattern with a
fo ur-no te cho rd, such as a C majo r triad with an o ctave in
the ro o t. If Subdivide is set to " 1 / 8 " , the Arpeg g iato r breaks
do wn the cho rd into 8 ths, and then arpeg g iates it based o n
the T ype setting . If T ype is set to " UpO ct2 " the arpeg g io will
climb o ver two o ctaves, and will repeat after fo ur beats.
Then, if yo u chang e Subdivide to " 1 / 1 6 " , the arpeg g io will
repeat after 2 beats. Furthermo re, if yo u then chang e T ype to
" UpO ct1 " , the arpeg g io will repeat after o nly o ne beat.
Because the number o f no tes yo u play in the cho rd has a
direct relatio nship o n the pattern leng th based o n Subdivide
reso lutio n, so metimes unwanted synco patio ns may be
g enerated. As a g eneral rule, yo u can avo id this by cho o sing
an even number o f cho rd no tes fo r even-numbered subdivide
reso lutio ns (1 / 4 , 1 / 8 , 1 / 1 6 and 1 / 3 2 ) and an o dd number
o f no tes (e.g ., three-no te o r five-no te cho rds) with o dd-
numbered reso lutio ns (1 / 6 , 1 / 1 2 , 1 / 2 4 ).
Ho wever, this do esn't apply fo r do tted no te rhythms (3 / 8 ,
3 / 1 6 and 3 / 3 2 ). These reso lutio ns are particularly
interesting fo r o dd-numbered beats (e.g ., 3 / 8 o r 6 / 8 ), so
yo u will need to play cho rds with an even number o f no tes to
co rrectly play back these three-part rhythms.
As an example, set T ype to " UpO ct2 " and Subdivide to
" 3 / 8 " reso lutio n. Playing a triad will place the ro o t no te o n
the first beat in the 4 th bar, g enerating irreg ular cycles. A
fo ur-no te cho rd, ho wever, g enerates symmetrical 4 bar
cycles. The ro o t no te will be repeated after the first cycle o n
bar 3 , after the seco nd cycle o n bar 5 and after the third
cycle o n bar 7 , and so o n, always landing o n the first beat.
In the case o f the special Arpeg g iato r T ypes (1 6 -3 0 ), yo u will
no tice that these aren't particularly effective with triplet
rhythms. Best results are achieved with a 4 / 4 beat and a
Subdivide reso lutio n o f " 1 / 1 6 " , " 1 / 8 " o r " 1 / 3 2 " .
