pose zone on the master keyboard (active when the ‘real time transpose’ button is lit) or by notes received on the "Real-time
Transpose Channel" (set in the Global Menu).
The amount of transposition applied to the Arpeggiator corresponds to the difference in semitones between the note played & the
note defined by the "Arp Transpose Reference Note" (also set in the Global Menu). The transposition can be negative as well as
positive. For example, if the "Arp Transpose Reference Note" is defined as note C3, playing C#3 will result in the whole arpeggio
being transposed up one semitone from its original key. If Bb3 is played, the whole arpeggio will now be transposed down two
semitones from its original key & so on. To return the arpeggio to its original key (a transposition of zero semitones), it is necessary
to play the same note value as defined by the "Arp Transpose Reference Note" (set in the Global Menu).
If this parameter is set to "Off", then no real-time transposition will be applied to the arpeggiator. It will continue to play in its original
key even if note information is sent from the real-time transpose zone on the master keyboard or the "Real-time Transpose
Channel". The range of this parameter is On & Off. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
Page 6 looks like so:
The parameter is “Arpeggio notes to:”. In this case with a value of Program & MIDI.
This parameter determines if the Arpeggiation is sent to the Supernova II Racks sound engine, MIDI output or both. Use the lower
Data knob to adjust the value . If this parameter is set to “Program” then no MIDI note data appears when the Arpeggiator is played
but the Supernova II Rack is played by the Arpeggiation. If this parameter is set to Program & MIDI then the Supernova II Rack is
heard playing the Arpeggiation & the Arpeggiation is also output via MIDI. If this parameter is set to “MIDI Only” then no sound is
heard from Supernova II Rack when the Arpeggiator is played but the Arpeggiator is output via MIDI. The range of this parameter
is Program Only, Program & MIDI & MIDI Only. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
In program mode, the MIDI channel used for Arp transmission is the Global channel. In Performance mode, the Part’s MIDI chan-
nel is used. If the part’s MIDI channel is set to Global or Omni, the Global channel is used.
Page 7 looks like so:
The higher parameter is “Constant pitch”. In this case with a value of Off.
This parameter applies only to Polyphonic patterns. If this parameter is set to “On” then all Arpeggiator note(s) will be sounded at a
constant pitch regardless of where they have been played on the master keyboard. If this parameter is set to “Off” then the trans-
position of the notes played by the Arpeggiator will be at the values programmed into the patterns. Use the upper Data knob to
adjust the value. The range of this parameter is On & Off. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
The purpose of this parameter is to allow a sequence of notes to be played in exactly the same musical key regardless of where it
has been triggered from the master keyboard (real time transposing can still be used to transpose poly patterns if required). This is
especially important if the Arpeggiator is being used to trigger drum patterns on an external Drum Machine or Sampler where each
drum sound has a specific note value.
When Constant Pitch is activated, the Arp Poly pattern behaves monophonically, since if a chord was played on the master key-
board, it would be pointless to send several NOTE ONs to the Program / MIDI OUT each with exactly the same note value.
