PATTERN GENERATOR Window
The Pattern Generator window contains the controls for the Arpeggio and Step
Sequencer. These two powerful features let you trigger complex patterns in real time, at
the press of a key.
The Arpeggio lets you play perfect arpeggiated chords at the simple press of a key. You
can have the Arpeggio play across the entire keyboard, or set it so that your left hand
triggers the arpeggio patterns, while you play the voice normally with your right hand.
The Arpeggio features 30 different patterns to choose from, including Up, Down, and
Up/Down across one or more octaves, plus various special patterns including Techno,
House, Random, and more.
The Step Sequencer lets you quickly and easily create sophisticated looped patterns.
It’s also highly interactive, since it can be triggered from the keyboard in a variety of
ways, and can be used with the various real-time controls of the PLG150-AN. Each
individual step event (Note, Velocity, Gate Time, and Control Change) can be accessed
and edited by a specific “panel knob,” over a maximum of 16 steps. The Step
Sequencer features extensive memory as well, letting you save one sequence pattern
with each voice (128 total), plus have access to 128 User Patterns.
Both the Arpeggio and the Step Sequencer share a set of “Common” parameters for
added flexibility and control. These include a Hold control that keeps the pattern run-
ning, even after you release the keys, plus other global controls that give you detailed
control over the “feel” of the arpeggio or sequence pattern.
