Hold. Determines whether the Arpeggio playback is “held” or not. When this is set to “on,” the Arpeggio cycles automatically, even if you release your fingers from the keys, and it continues to cycle until the next key is pressed.

They are very different: HOLD the arp continues to play after you release the keys SYNC the arp stops playing after you release the keys but starts again in time when you press the keys again |

Again is the HOLD off/on & SYNC off/on parameter the same as HOLD in the PATTERN mix/edit COMMON window ?

Imagine Hold is Off and Sync is Off. At the top of a bar you press a key and hold it for 1 beat then release it. Then on the third beat you press it again. The arp pattern will restart from the beginning (beat 1). Now imagine Sync is set On. At the top of a bar you press a key and hold it for 1 beat then release it. Then on the third beat you press it again. The arp pattern will start from beat 3, not beat 1. It would be easier to just try it and you will hear the difference. |

You are too funny! YOU are the one who quoted from the manual. The manual has your answer. I sold my ES years ago and no longer have the manual, I have to go look it up online....OK, here you go
Press Voice
Settings: sync-off (see below), off, on
Sync-off is a possible setting of Hold. Hold = ON is different than Hold = SyncOff, OK? Does this answer your question? |

I am not trying to be funny. It’s frustrating.

There are no on or off settings for Sync, because Sync isn’t a parameter that can be set in the manner you’re asking about. There are three settings for Hold - the two obvious ones are off or on: If Hold is off, then the Arp will start playing when you press a key, and stop playing when you release it. The Arp will restart from the beginning when you press a key again. If Hold is on, then the Arp will play when you press a key, and keep playing (cycling) when you release it. The third setting for Hold is sync-off. With that setting, the Arp will start playing when you press a key, and continue playing silently when you release the key. That is, even though the Arp’s sound is “off” (muted), it will stay in “sync”. When you press a key again, you will hear the Arp again (unmuted) - it does not restart playing from the beginning. As has already been suggested, trying the three settings and listening to what happens is possibly the best way to understand what these settings do. I hope that helped. |

If you know how to set Hold to on or off, then set it to the third choice, sync-off. That’s all there is to it. See the Hold information on pages 191 and 223 of the ES Owner’s Manual.
Â
The three Hold settings already explained are all there are. Setting “SYNC OFF with the HOLD ON” doesn’t make sense. How could the Arp continue to cycle, but not be in sync? |

Sometimes you can trip over a low hurdle. Glad you figured out how to clear that one. :-) |

I understand that English is not your native language so understanding what is in the manual might be difficult for you. Here is the text again:
What that tells you is what the choices are:
sync-off
All parameters in the ES are described in the Reference section of the manual this way. |
