Sync
Sync
The Sync parameter defines when a note is played in relation to when the
key is pressed. When set to “Key Sync”, the note sounds the instant a key is
pressed. When set to “Quantized”, the note does not sound until the next
occurrence of the selected note value.
The following diagram illustrates how Key Sync and Quantize work.
Pre-Delay
The Pre-Delay value determines how long the arpeggiator is delayed before
becoming active after the first “note-on.” During the pre-delay period,
notes are played normally (as if the arpeggiator was off). After the pre-delay
period has elapsed, the arpeggiator kicks in. Once you release all the keys
on the controller, the pre-delay starts over with the next note-on. In combi-
nation with the Duration parameter, Pre-Delay lets you create many more
variations in the arpeggio patterns.
Please refer to the diagram on page 252.
You can play the preset normally as long as you don’t hold the notes longer
than the Pre-Delay. If you do, the arpeggiator starts in. When used in
conjunction with multiple arpeggiators, Pre-Delay allows you to offset the
time between the different patterns.
