Arpology
A 4‐voice arpeggiating synth, with an auto‐improvisation feature.
How to use:
1)
Press a piano key and Arpolgy will play a 4-voice appegiating
pattern based on what note you are pressing.
2) To shift the keyboard up an octave
tap
the right button.
To shift the keyboard down an octave
tap
the left button.
3) Arpology uses two separate User Interface (U/I) "frames." A U/I
frame determines which parameters are controlled by the onboard
pots. The two U/I frames for Arpology are:
1) The Envelope Frame (BLUE LED is on)
Top Pot controls envelope attack
Bottom Pot controls envelope decay/sustain.
2) The Arpeggiator Frame (RED LED is on)
Top Pot selects arpeggiation pattern.
Bottom Pot controls arpeggiation rate.
4) To switch between U/I frames,
press
the left or right buttons.
Pressing
the right button selects the Envelope Frame.
Pressing
the left button selects the Arpeggiator Frame.
5) To activate the automatic improvisor
double-tap
the left button.
Arpology now "plays itself." The LED for the current frame will
begin flashing, indicating that the auto-improvisor is on. While
the auto-improvisor is on, Arpology will not respond to key
presses. To turn off the auto-improviser
double-tap
the left
button again.
