Both arpeggiator display pages show also a graphi-
cal representation of the selected arp pattern, the
MIDI clock status and the current tempo.
Main Page
Here you find all parameters regarding the Arp settings.
MODE
Determines the arpeggiator mode:
•
If off is selected, the arpeggiator is dectivated.
•
If Normal is selected, the arpeggiator works as follows:
When you press a note or a chord on the keyboard, it is
split up and repeated rhythmically. As soon as you re-
lease a note, it is re- moved from the arpeggio
rhythm. Conversely, as soon as you add another note to
the existing chord, it is inserted into the arpeggio.
When you release all notes, the arpeggiator stops.
•
If One Shot is selected, the arpeggiator splits up all
played notes and plays back one arpeggio. After the ar-
peggio rhythm is played once, it is stopped automati-
cally unless you hit a new chord. This mode is especial-
ly useful in a live performance where you might have
to "synchronize" yourself. Just hit a chord at each new
bar.
•
If Hold is selected, the arpeggiator splits up all played
notes and generates a continuous arpeggio even when
the chord is released.
BPM
Same functionality as for the Speed panel parameter.
CLOCK
Determines the note value for whole notes to thirty-second
notes. The basis is a 4/4 beat. Triplets (e.g. 1/8T) and
dotted notes (e.g. 1/16.) are available for every value.
PATTERN
Same functionality as for the Pattern panel parameter.
Pattern Page
Here you find all parameters regarding the Arp pattern

PLAYDIR
