11.3. Basic operations



♪

: The arpeggiator will not run if the

Sync [p.87]

selection is set to something other than INT and no

external clock is present.

11.3.1. Arp/Loop button

In order to use the arpeggiator, do these two things:

• Make sure the Sync mode is set to INT. If not, press the Sync button until it is

selected.

• If the On button in the Arp/Loop section is not lit, press it. The arpeggiator will

start.

• Press at least three pads. You will hear those notes played one after the other.
• The arpeggio will stop if you lift all of your fingers off the pads (unless you

activated

Hold mode [p.128]

first)

• Press the On button again to turn off the Arpeggiator.

You can change the direction of the arpeggiator playback by changing the Arp Mode setting.

That is described in the next section.

11.3.2. Arp Mode selection

Hold the Arp/Loop button and turn the Tempo/Value knob to select one of the eight

arpeggiator Modes: Up, Down, Inclusive, Exclusive, Random, Order, Up x2, and Down x2.



♪

: It will be easier to hear what the Arpeggiator is doing if you are holding down three or more pads.

The different Arp Modes are

described later [p.129]

in this chapter.

11.3.3. Transport section

Press the Play/Pause button, hold down some pads and the arpeggiator will start. You can

add up to 16 notes to an arpeggio; we'll show you how in the

Build a multi-octave arpeggio

[p.132]

section.

There is also a

Hold mode [p.128]

for the arpeggiator. It allows you to start an arpeggio, take

your hands off the pads, and either add more notes to the arpeggio or tweak parameters

while the arpeggio is running.

Press the Play/Pause button again to pause the arpeggio pattern, and another time to

resume playback from where you stopped.

Remember, you can restart an arpeggio from the beginning by holding Shift and pressing

Play/Pause.



♪

: In order to hear the Arpeggiator you must first press the On button before holding down the pads.

The Arpeggiator will not play back any notes If you hold down the pads first and then press the On
button.
