10.1 Arpeggiator Synchronization via MIDI Clock
The Pulse's Arpeggiator can be used as a master as well as a slave via the MIDI Clock:
• When you use the Arpeggiator as the master, set its speed via the "Tempo"
parameter. The "Global MIDI Channel" parameter must then be set to a value
within the range of A.01...A.16 or A.on. The Pulse will send the Arpeggiator notes
and the MIDI Clock signal via
MIDI Out
.
• When you use the Arpeggiator as a slave, an external device (e.g. sequencer)
determines the tempo of the Arpeggiator. Set the "Tempo" parameter to "Mid" as
described above. Here too notes and MIDI Clock information can be activated to
control other devices. In this mode, the MIDI Song Position Pointer is also
recognized.
10.2 The Hold Mode
If you set the
Active
parameter to
Hld,
the Arpeggiator is in Hold mode. This means that the
incoming MIDI chords generate continuous arpeggios. The Pulse will continue to do so
until you play a new chord or set the parameter back to
Off
or
On.
You can also stop the
arpeggiator by performing the panic function or sending an All Notes Off message from
your sequencer.
