Arp Rates
These options specify the speed of the arpeggiated notes. Since each note is played immediately after the end of the previous one, a
shorter rate (eg 1/32) will play an arpeggio faster than longer one (eg 1/4).
Rate options are common musical note values: quarter (¼), eighth (1/8), sixteenth (1/16) and thirty-second (1/32) notes. To change the
Arp Rate, press and hold the Arp button, and then press the key below 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, or 1/32.
Arp Octaves
These 4 keys specify across how many octaves your arpeggio will repeat. To change, press and hold the Arp button, and then press the
key below 1, 2, 3 or 4. Choosing an octave higher than 1 will repeat the arpeggio at higher octaves. For example, an arpeggio that was C3,
E3, and G3 at 1 octave will become C3, E3, G3, C4, E4, and G4 when set to 2 octaves.
Arp Rhythms
Arp Rhythms add musical rests (silent steps) to your arpeggio’s pattern, allowing for greater variations in your arpeggios.
Dots
- These three options are rhythmic patterns.
O
– The normal Arpeggiator setting, this places a note on every division of the selected Arp rate.
OXO
(note - rest - note) – This rhythm adds a rest between every pair of notes.
OXXO
(note - rest - rest - note) – This pattern adds two rests between every pair of notes.
Latch
Latch lets you use the Arpeggiator without holding down keys. Any notes you press and release concurrently will form a new arpeggio
pattern which the arpeggiator ‘latches’ onto. The arpeggiator then continues to play as if you never released the keys. When you press a
new key, the previous arpeggio erases and a new one forms.
To turn on Latch, press and hold the Arp button, and then press the key below ‘Latch’.
6.1.9 Fixed Chord
Fixed Chord lets you play a chord shape and then transpose it by pressing other keys.
Press and hold the Fixed Chord button to set a chord. Then, while still holding the button, press and release the keys that you wish to be
part of your chord. The chord is now stored.
Keep in mind that the first note that you input into the chord is considered the ‘root note’ of the chord, even if you then add notes lower
than the first one, like in the example below.
These steps illustrate how to use Fixed Chord:
Press and hold the Fixed Chord button.
