PATN
Trig Pattern
During normal use of Arpie, the data LEDs show the “current layer ” of the trig
pattern - this is usually the play/mute layer.
To change to another layer, hold down the PATN key and press the button below the
LED for the required layer as shown below. The currently selected layer is shown
with a brighter LED.
When the PATN button is released, the LEDs show the trigs for the selected layer.
Play-mute is the default layer, showing which of the trig pattern steps are active (i.e.
where the corresponding note from the arpeggiated sequence will be played).
Usually the note in the arpeggiated sequence is skipped over and not played when
the trig is inactive, however the separate note skip option (Long press MODE) allows
the sequence to advance only on active steps, so no notes are skipped.
Starting from the right, the other options are:
•
The accent layer causes the note to play with accented MIDI velocity (Long
press VELO). If the CV TAB is connected you can also optionally send an
accent trigger at these steps.
•
The full gate option causes the note duration (via MIDI and CV TAB gate
output) to be equal to one full sequencer step for the specific note. This
overrides the duration set via the GATE function. The full gate option sounds
best when combined with short GATE settings to create rhythmic variation.
•
The tied gate option causes the note to be played ‘legato’, meaning that the
MIDI note is stopped only when the next note has started playing. Depending
on your synth, this can produce a glide between the notes. If you have the CV
TAB, a voltage glide is triggered. The voltage sweeps from the current level
