Master Arpeggiator Parameters
Status
The Status parameter turns the Master Arpeggiator on and off. The Channel
Arpeggiator setting in the main screen overrides this setting. For example, if
you set the Arpeggiator in the main screen to “off,” and turn it “on” here, it
still will not play.
Mode
The Mode parameter determines the direction or pattern mode of the
arpeggiated notes.
The eight arpeggiator modes are:
•
Up
Held notes arpeggiate continuously from lowest to
highest pitch.
•
Down
Held notes arpeggiate continuously from highest to
lowest pitch.
•
Up/Down
Held notes arpeggiate continuously from lowest to
highest pitch, then from highest to lowest, then repeat
this cycle.
•
Fwd Assign
Held notes arpeggiate continuously in the order in
which the keys were pressed.
•
Bkwd Assign
Held notes arpeggiate continuously in the reverse order
in which the keys were pressed.
•
Fwd/Bkwd
Held notes arpeggiate continuously in the order in
which the keys were pressed, then arpeggiate in the
reverse order that they were pressed. The cycle is then
repeated.
•
Random
Held notes arpeggiate continuously in a random
fashion.
•
Pattern
Held notes play the selected pattern (see “Pattern” on
page 60 for details).
