Sound Parameters – Arpeggiator

SortOrder as played / reversed / Num Lo>Hi / Num Hi>Lo /Vel Lo>Hi / Vel Hi>Lo
Sets the order in which the note list is arranged. With this parameter, you can determine how the
notes you originally play are split up for the arpeggio.
• If as played is selected, the notes are sorted in the exact order as you played them. If you
e.g. press E1, G1 and C1, the note list looks exactly like that.
• If reversed is selected, the notes are sorted vice versa to the order in which you played
them. If you e.g. press E1, G1 and C1, the note list is sorted to C1, G1 and E1.
• If Num Lo>Hi is selected, the notes are sorted from the lowest note to the highest note. If
you e.g. press E1, G1 and C1, the note list is sorted to C1, E1 and G1.
• Num Hi>Lo is the opposite of Num Lo>Hi . The example would be sorted as G1, E1 and
C1.
• If Vel Lo>Hi is selected, the notes are sorted from the softest to the loudest velocity. If you
e.g. pressed notes with velocities 64, 120 and 96, the note list is sorted to 64, 96 and 120.
• Vel Hi>Lo is the opposite of Vel Lo>Hi . The example would be sorted as 120, 96 and 64.
Vel Mode !T.Factor
EachNote ! 000
Vel Mode Each Note / First Note / Last Note
Determines how velocity is interpreted in the arpeggio. Note that each arpeggio step might have an
additional positive or negative offset set by the
Arp Accent
parameter.
• If Each Note is selected, each note of the arpeggio is played back with the velocity that
you originally played.
• If First Note is selected, the first note you played sets the velocity for all arpeggio steps.
• If Last Note is selected, the last note you played sets the velocity for all arpeggio steps.
T. Factor
0…127
Determines how strong the Arp Timing parameter affects an arpeggio step. If T. Factor is set to 0 ,
the settings in Arp Timing are completely ignored and the arpeggio is played back without any
shuffled timing. Settings from 1 to 127 increase the shuffling of the notes depending on the setting in
the
Arp Timing
parameter.
T. Factor
also works on ROM patterns, these are set up with standard
swing rhythm.
Same Note Overlap Off / On
Same Note Overlap
Off
Due to the various
Length
parameters in the Arpeggiator section, it might happen that two notes
having equal pitch overlap, e.g. when you play only one single note on a 16 beat rhythm with lengths
set to 1/8.
Note that this parameter only affects notes of the same pitches. If you want to control the lengths of
notes of different pitches, use the
Length or Arp Steplen parameters.
• If On is selected, the Note Off message of the previous note is allowed to be sent after a
Note On message of the next note with the same pitch. This setting can be nice with
arpeggios triggering sounds with slow attack.
