Put Track to Arpeggio
This function copies data in the specified measures of a track for creating Arpeggio data. Up to 16 unique note numbers can be recorded to the Arpeggio track. If more than 16 different note numbers have been recorded to the MIDI sequence data, the Convert operation reduces the notes in excess of the limit. Because of this, be careful to record only up to 16 different notes when you create an Arpeggio, especially when using multiple tracks.

Settings: 1 – 256
Category (Arpeggio Category)
Determines the Category setting (Main Category and Sub Category) for the created Arpeggio data.
Settings: Refer to the Arpeggio Type Category List in the Reference Manual PDF document.
Name (Arpeggio Name)
Determines the User Arpeggio name. The Arpeggio name can contain up to 20 characters.
Song Track
Determines the track of the source Song for each Arpeggio track.
Convert Type
Determines how the MIDI sequence data (of Song tracks) will be converted to Arpeggio data from the three ways below. This parameter can be set for each track.
Settings: Normal, Fixed, Org Notes
Normal: The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note and its octave notes. Fixed: Playing any note(s) will trigger the same MIDI sequence data. Org Notes
(original notes): Basically same as “Fixed” with the exception that the Arpeggio playback notes differ according to the played chord.
Original Notes Root
Determines the root note when the Convert Type of any track is set to “Org Notes.” This is available only when any track is set to “Org Notes.”
Settings: C-2 – G8
Measure
Determines the range of measures to be copied to the Arpeggio data.
Settings: 001 – 999
