5 Arpeggiator
An arpeggiator (short: ARP) is a module that gen-
erates monophonic melodic and rhythmical patterns
from sustained MIDI notes. The available modes can
be chosen from a drop-down list, and are described in
the following paragraphs.
•
Off: The arpeggiator is off and has no effect.
This is the default setting.
•
Up: All MIDI notes currently sustained are tra-
versed from the lowest to the highest note.
•
Down: All MIDI notes currently sustained are
traversed from the highest to the lowest note.
•
Up/Down: All MIDI notes currently sustained
are traversed from the lowest to the highest note,
then back.
•
Down/Up: All MIDI notes currently sustained
are traversed from the highest to the lowest note,
then back.
•
Random: All MIDI notes currently sustained are
played back in random order.
•
Gate/Acc: A special mode which does not gener-
ate any note sequence, but merely transmits the
Gate and Accent signals to the modulation ma-
trix. Read the GATE/ACCENT section below
for more information on this topic.
OCT
When octave is set to 1, the sequence generated by the
arpeggiator matches the sustained MIDI keys. More
variation is obtained by increasing the number of oc-
taves, which will cause the arpeggiator to extent the
note sequence additional octaves above the pressed
keys.
PAT
The arpeggiator can use one of 20 different patterns,
to create a rhythmic feel and make the generated note
sequences more interesting. The first pattern, which is
default, consists of sixteenth notes only. Use this set-
ting if you do not want to enforce a particular rhythm.
LENGTH
This control changes the length of all notes in the pat-
tern currently selected, from half to twice the length.
At center position, the pattern remains unchanged.
