If you’ve mastered these controls, and yearn to go deeper, it’s time to check
out some partial-level stuff.
5.3. Note FX
Arp
Regen contains the classic Synclavier arpeggiator feature. The two
Arpeggiator
buttons are related, as evidenced by the little horizontal bar between the buttons.
Under the left button, you have the options:
Repeat | Arpeggiate | Rate
and under the second, you have:
Pattern | Arp Spread | Note Chance
When
Repeat
is On, a note or chord is repeated at the selected rate as long as
you hold down the key(s).
When
Arpeggiate
is On, a chord is arpeggiated once at the selected rate.
When the
Repeat
and
Arpeggiate
functions are both On, a chord is
arpeggiated and repeated as long as the keys are held.
The
Rate
(sometimes called tempo) at which notes or chords are repeated, can
range from 0.010hz to 50hz. Faster rates can change the character of the sound,
giving your timbre a futuristic effect.
Try it out: select a timbre with uniform sound, such as
an organ, press the
Repeat
button to turn on this
function, and when you press and hold a key on the
keyboard, it will sound repeatedly. Try changing the
Rate
and try the
Arpeggiate
function when playing a
chord.
Tap
Pattern
and swipe or nudge to select a pattern from
Performance, Ramp Up, Ramp Down, Up-Down, Up-
Down no-repeat, and Random, and note the difference.
