Arpeggiators
An arpeggiator moves a pattern of notes sequentially over a range of the
keyboard. MP-7 has the unique ability to play a different arpeggiator on
each MIDI channel!
Arpeggiator settings can be defined as part of the preset (using the Arp
parameters in the Preset Edit menu), or globally in the Master Arpeggiator
menu. The preset and master arpeggiators have the same parameters which
we define in this chapter.
The Arp field in the main screen defines which arpeggiator settings will be
used. “M” uses the master Arpeggiator settings and on/off status (as defined
in the Master Arpeggiator menu). “P” uses the preset’s arpeggiator settings
and on/off status (as defined in the Preset menu). Choosing “On” uses the
preset’s arpeggiator settings regardless of whether or not it is turned on in
the Edit menu and Off turns off the arpeggiator regardless of the settings
and status specified in either menu.

SAVE your Arp setups
and name them using the “Save
Setup To” function located in the
Global menu. See“Saving
Multisetups” on page 147.
All arpeggiators share MP-7’s master clock and its current setting. The
master clock can be MP-7’s internal clock or an external MIDI clock
(page 160). Although the arpeggiators use the master clock setting, the
tempo divisor can be unique for each arpeggiator setup.
Arpeggiator modes include up, up/down, forward assign, backward assign,
forward/backward assign and random as well as play
Patterns
. Patterns are
pre-recorded sequences of notes and rests. All key-on notes play the
pattern. For example, if you play a chord, all the notes in the chord play the
pattern in harmony. MP-7 contains 200 factory patterns and 100 user
definable patterns.
