can be toggled in a time-sorted notes mode through the MiniBrute
Connection software (see chapter 4.4 for further details). In this mode, by
holding down the first note pressed and then adding other notes (or even
the same ones several times), you can build looped melodic sequences (up
to 16 notes).
4.2.7.2 Octave
The
Octave
knob determines the arpeggiator’s transposition range, from one to
four octaves.
4.2.7.3 Mode
The
Mode
switch chooses how the pool of arpeggiated notes will be sorted with
respect to playing order:
•
Up
..................sorts the pool by ascending pitch.
•
Down
.............sorts the pool by descending pitch.
•
Up/Dwn
.........first plays the pool in Up mode, then Down mode. The first and
last notes repeat.
•
Rndm
.............picks notes randomly from the pool.
4.2.7.4 Swing
The
Swing
switch sets the swing amount applied to every even note in the
arpeggio, from a strictly “mechanical” groove to one that’s totally “off-the-
tempo.” 6 positions are selectable, with swing values varying from 50% (position 1)
to 75% (position 6).
4.2.7.5 Step
The step selector defines the tempo subdivisions to be used:
•
1/4
..................quarter note, or one note on each step
•
1/8
..................eighth note, or 2 notes per step
•
1/16
................sixteenth note, or 4 notes per steps
•
1/4T
................quarter note (triplet), or 3 notes per 2 steps
•
1/8T
................eighth note (triplet), or 6 notes per 2 steps
•
1/16T
..............sixteenth note (triplet), or 12 notes per 2 steps
4.2.7.6 Tempo & Tap
The
Tempo
knob sets the arpeggiator’s clock rate from 30 bpm to 260 bpm. The
red LED under the knob blinks in sync with the tempo beat.
The
Tempo
knob acts differently if MiniBrute detects an external MIDI clock on the
MIDI Input
or
USB
connector:
