Arpeggio Patterns
The arpeggio pattern is set by the combination of the value of the
Range
,
Span
and
Order
controls. This module is switch
on
by clicking on the small LED located
in the upper right corner of the module.
The
Range
control is used to select the number of octaves across which the
pattern is repeated. When the range is set to 0, there is no transposition and only the
notes currently depressed are played. If set to a value between 1 and 4 (its maximum
value), the notes played are transposed and played sequentially, over a range of one
or more octaves depending on the value of the
Range
parameter. The direction of the
transposition is set with the
Span
drop-down menu. This parameter can be adjusted
to
Low
for downwards transposition, to
High
for upwards transposition or
wide
for transposing
both upwards and downwards. Finally, the
Order
control sets the order in which the notes are
played, therefore determining the arpeggio pattern. When set to
Forward
, the notes are played
from the lowest to the highest. When set to
Backward
the notes are played from the highest to
the lowest. In the two last modes,
Rock and Roll exclusive
and
Rock and Roll inclusive
, the notes
are played forward from the lowest to the highest and then backward from the highest down to
the lowest. When using the
RnR exclusive
mode, the highest and the lowest notes are not repeated
when switching direction but in RnR inclusive mode these notes are repeated. Finally, in
Chord
mode, all the notes are played at once.
Rhythmic Patterns
Rhythmic patterns can be added to the arpeggio pattern by using the 16-step
Pattern
display. Notes
are played as the step display is scanned and the corresponding step is selected (red button
on
).
Notes are played regularly when all the steps of the display are turned
on
and rhythmic patterns
are created by selecting only certain steps. The arrow button below each step is used to fix looping
points from which the rhythmic pattern starts being played again from the beginning.
Rate and Synchronization
The rate at which the arpeggiator pattern is scanned is set by the
Rate
knob of the
Arpeggiator
module or can be synced to the master clock of the
Clock
module. The
Rate
knob is only effective
when the
Sync
control is set to
off
. When the
Sync
control is
on
, the rate (tempo) is fixed by the
master
Clock
module (see 5.2.1) in standalone mode or the host sequencer in plugin mode. The
rhythmic value of each step is set using the
Steps
parameter. Values can range between a quarter
