Arpeggiator
The arpeggiator feature allows MOTAS-6 to automatically
play notes from a chord in succession with adjustable di-
rection, number of octaves, pattern etc. The tempo is de-
termined from the current active clock setting see section
Press the

14.1 Main arpeggiator settings
SOURCE sets the active arpeggiator settings in use. This
can be set to either those stored with the current patch
shown as
PATCH or from global settings shown as GLOBAL. The global
settings are stored to internal non-volatile memory when
you exit the
[BUTTON-ARPEG.]
settings.
MODE sets the arpeggiator mode:
• OFF – apeggiator off,
• MIDI – use incoming MIDI notes,
• H-MIDI use incoming MIDI notes holding after all keys re-
leased,
• INT – use internal preset chord (see section
below)
• H-INT – use internal preset with hold after all keys re-
leased (see section
below)
DIRN sets the direction (or order) of the notes played. Choose
from:
• UP plays notes in ascending order of pitch
• DOWN plays notes in descending order of pitch
• UPDN plays in ascending and then descending order of
pitch
• UP2 plays in the order of the keys as played within each
octave, but ascending octaves (when the RANGE is greater
than 1)
• DOWN2 plays in the order of the keys as played within
each octave, but descending octaves (when the RANGE
is greater than 1)
• U/D2 plays in the order of the keys as played within each
octave, but ascending and then descending octaves (when
the RANGE is greater than 1)
• RAND plays the notes in random order.
PATTERN sets the timing pattern of the arpeggiator. From
very fast 32T (48 per bar) to a very slow 1 (1 note per bar),
with triplet, standard and dotted values. Values greater
than 1 are a selection of preset patterns instead of regular
timing invervals labelled from A to P.
LEAP sets whether each note plays normally (OFF) or over
2 or 3 octaves before the next note in the chord plays.
RANGE sets the arpeggiator octave range from 1 to 10 to
set the number of octaves to play the arpeggios over.
14.2 More arpeggiator settings
Page 2 has further arpeggiator settings.
SWING sets the ’swing’ of the timing. At 50% the timing
is as per the PATTERN settings otherwise alternate notes
have increased and decreased timings.
LENGTH sets the ’length’ of each played note from 0% to
99% . This changes how long the notes are ’held’ down as
they are played by the arpeggiator.
DELAY sets a delay from -15 to +16 (normal setting would
be 0) to allow correction of any synchronisation issues with
external equipment (when using an external clock source).
PATCH (only available on global arpeggiator) allows the
arpeggiator to automatically change patch on each new
note:
