AXON AX-100 GUITAR TO MIDI CONVERTER
SEQ TEMPO
(EXT., 41…240)
The tempo of your sequence can be set externally using Midi clock
(EXT/MIDI IN) or internally using BPM (beats per minute) between
41 (very slow) and 240 (very fast). In the case of external
synchronization, (e.g.. MIDI-Drums, sequencer software) the
sequence will only start when the “start” command is received from
the MIDI IN port.
ARPEG…
In addition to the above mentioned sequencing possibilities you can
use the powerful arpeggiator in your AXON to accompany yourself.
Along side the function SEP, which allows you to hold a single chord
as accompaniment, the ARPEG function allows you more complex
accompaniment structures. When you press the hold pedal, and play
a series of notes, these notes are received and then played back in the
same order as you played them. The recording of your arpeggio is
ended when you release the hold pedal. The sequence of recording
notes is now played back immediately and endlessly (on the
preselected Hold channel), allowing you to play your solo or other
part above them. By pressing the hold pedal again, the arpeggio is
stopped, but simultaneously able to record a new sequence of notes,
making it possible to play and change your accompaniment sequence
without stopping. To stop the arpeggio, simply press the hold pedal
once and release without playing any notes.
The parameter settings for the arpeggiator determine how the notes
you play into it will be played back. You can control the order in
which the notes are played back, or stretch out the intervals between
them into several octaves. But the most interesting characteristic of
the arpeggiator is its ability to quantize the notes played into it into
freely programmable rhythmic patterns. Press the ENTER button to
get to the Sub menu of the arpeggiator:
