ClkLock
This locks the arpeggiator phase to the system
clock so it will sync to other clocked elements
such as an LFO with BPM Sync set to On.
Here’s something else you might notice: With
ClkLock set to Off and the Hydrasynth Explorer as
the master clock source, the arpeggio starts when
the first note is played. With ClkLock set to On,
the arpeggio starts at the next quantized value
after
the first note is played. In this case you might
experience a slight delay between triggering a
note and the onset of the arpeggio.
additional arp features
latch and Sustain
Press [LATCH] to activate Latch mode. This enables
you to take your fingers off the keys and use both
hands to adjust parameters. It works whether an
arpeggio is running or not.
Use [SHIFT] + [LATCH] to activate Sustain mode.
This also works whether an arpeggio is running
or not. It’s the same response as using a sustain
pedal.
Between these two parameters there are four
potential combinations, as shown in the chart. The
status of the [LATCH] button LED provides a visual
clue as to which settings are active.

initialize the arp
Hold [INIT] and press the [ON] button to initialize
the Arpeggiator module. All parameters will return
to their defaults.
The arpeggiator & MiDi
determines whether
the arpeggiator will transmit notes or respond to
incoming notes via MIDI / USB. These two states
are mutually exclusive. The following table may
help illustrate the different capabilities of the Arp
TX settings.

Incoming MIDI/USB notes will trigger
and outline an arpeggio
No Yes
Incoming MIDI/USB notes can be
latched by the Latch button [1]
No Yes

[1] [LATCH] has the same effect on notes whether
the arpeggiator is running or not.
