Arpeggiator “Momentary Sustain” Mode
The Rev2 allows you to use the sustain pedal to turn the arpeggiator’s
Hold function on and off and perform other arpeggiator-related functions.
To access this feature, use the
sustain arp
setting in the
global
menu.
There are three modes to choose from:
• arp hold - With the arpeggiator running in this mode, pressing the
Sustain pedal once causes the arpeggiator to hold the sequence (even
when you release the notes on the keyboard). Pressing it again stops the
arpeggiator.
• sustain - With the arpeggiator running in this mode, pressing and
holding the Sustain pedal sustains the notes, as the Sustain pedal
normally would.
• arp hold mom - With the arpeggiator running in this mode, pressing
and holding the Sustain pedal causes the arpeggiator to sustain (even
when you release the notes on the keyboard) for as long as you hold
down the pedal. Releasing the Sustain pedal stops the arpeggiator.
To select the arpeggiator’s sustain pedal mode:
1. Press the global button then use parameter knob to select sustain
arp.
2. Turn the value knob to select either arp hold, sustain, or arp hold
mom, depending on your preference. Press the global button again to
exit the Global menu.
MIDI Note Output from the Arpeggiator and Sequencer
The Rev2’s arpeggiator and sequencer output MIDI note numbers. Any
notes that you hold on the Rev2 keyboard will be arpeggiated accord-
ing to the current settings of the arpeggiator and output over MIDI as
MIDI notes. Similarly, any notes output by the sequencer will be output
over MIDI as MIDI notes. You can use this feature to drive other MIDI-
equipped devices such as synthesizers and drum machines. To access this
feature, use the midi arp+seq setting in the global menu.
To enable MIDI Note output from the arpeggiator:
1. Press the global button, then turn the parameter knob to select midi
arp+seq.
2. Turn the value knob to select on.
To control an external MIDI device:
1. Connect the MIDI or USB output of the Rev2 to the MIDI or USB input
of the external device, depending on which type of connection the
external device requires.
2. On the Rev2, press the global button, then use the parameter knob
to select midi out select.
3. Use the value knob to select midi, or usb, or midi+usb, depending on
how your Rev2 and external device are connected.
4. Press the global button again to exit the Global menu.
5. On the external device, set the the MIDI Channel and MIDI Receive
port to match the Rev2.
6. Hold down a chord on the Rev2 or start sequencer playback. The exter-
nal device should be triggered by the arpeggiated or sequenced notes.
