8.1.9. Tap
Use this button to tap in the tempo. You'll see the tempo change in the display. The sequencer
engine updates with every tap, so you can keep tapping if you need to follow a drifting
tempo.
8.2. The Arpeggiator
The [ARP] button activates the Arpeggiator, which steps automatically through the notes
being held. Each note of the arpeggio becomes a red step in the Matrix, and a purple step
shows the current playback position.
When [Hold] is active you can keep adding notes to the arpeggio as long as one key is held
down. An arpeggio can play up to 32 notes.
The arpeggiator responds to key velocity, so individual notes can be more or less prominent
depending on how hard a key was played. Results depend on the Velo slider settings for
VCF ENV and VCA ENV.
8.2.1. ARP home page
Enter Sequencer mode and press [ARP]. You'll see the Arpeggiator mode home page, where
the Octave range can be set and an arpeggio can be converted into a sequence for
Sequencer mode. Other pages are shown temporarily while changing Arpeggiator mode
settings, but the Arpeggiator returns to the home page after 1 second.
8.2.1.1. Octave range
Use [Assign 1-4] to set the Arpeggiator Octave range between 1 and 4 octaves. When you
hold notes that span more than an octave, the overall range of an arpeggio can be much
greater.
8.2.1.2. Copy to Seq
Whatever the Arpeggiator is doing can be converted into a sequence for additional editing
in Sequencer mode, or simply to preserve a moment of pure musical magic. Use [Assign 8]
to transfer the Arpeggiator output into the Sequencer.
