Using the Arpeggiator
The Venom arpeggiator provides 3 modes: Standard, Phrase, and Drum. While these modes can only be edited
via MIDI or software, you can select from the available factory patterns that use all of the various arpeggiator
modes. For information on importing your own patterns, see “Pattern Import” on page 31.
Standard Mode
In Standard mode, you can play and hold a single note or a chord and the notes of the chord will be arpeg-
giated up, down, up and down, down and up, or played as a repeated chord. The rate at which Venom plays
each note (or repeats the chord) is determined by the Tempo setting. The rhythm of the arpeggiated notes are
determined by the timing of the notes in the selected pattern (the stored MIDI sequence).
Phrase Mode
In Phrase mode, you can play and hold a single note and Venom plays back the selected phrase pattern (a
stored MIDI sequence). The phrase pattern is transposed according to the note you play.
Drum Mode
In Drum mode, you can play and hold a single note and Venom plays back the selected drum pattern (a stored
MIDI sequence) from the first 51 patterns (0 through 50). The played note does not transpose the drum pat-
tern.
