The seventh page of the Arpeggiator menu allows you to enable or dis-
able the Latch function. The Latch allows the Arpeggiator to keep repeat-
ing the arpeggio state when you remove your hands from the keyboard.
The Latch menu arms the Latch function the same way the Arpeggiator
ON/OFF menu arms the Arpeggiator. When the Latch parameter is
set to ‘ON’, the Latch can be activated from the front panel (to activate
the latch, you must be in PRESET Mode when the Arpeggiator is run-
ning - see
Activating the Arpeggiator and Latch
for more). When ‘OFF’ is
selected, the Latch is always off and cannot be activated accidently. To
enable/disable the latch function, use the
CURSOR
button to move to
the latch parameter field, then use the
VALUE
knob to change the latch
status.
The default value is ‘OFF’.
ARPEGGIATOR (Con’t):
C. SYSEX (System Exclusive) Menus
SysEx menus are a set of commands to transmit and receive selected presets, bulk dumps and firmware
dumps. To enable SysEx menus, press the
CURSOR
button. This will highlight the menu options shown
on the second line of the display. Once highlighted, use the
VALUE
knob to scroll through the menus. To
activate a command, press the
ENTER
button.
SEND CURRENT PRESET:
This option allows you to send the current preset (system exclusive
data format) for archiving a preset in the SP’s memory. This requires
another SP, Little Phatty, or computer with a MIDI interface and a pro-
gram that can accept a SysEx dump. You must enable the device that
is to receive the SysEx data. Once the remote device is enabled, press
ENTER
to start the data transfer.
When
ENTER
is pressed, the LCD will briefly display the ‘SENDING
CUR PRESET’
message shown. When the operation is complete, the
display will return to the SYSEX menu.
