Arpeggiator
Scan Dir:
Note: this function is effective
only when
Scan Pattern is set to Fwd-Rev.
Hitting this button causes a reversal of
the instantaneous arpeggiator scan
"direction".
For example, when the arpeggiator is
producing notes going up the scale/
keyboard, Scan Dir will cause it to
reverse and go down the scale instead,
beginning with the next output note –
without affecting the output timing in any
way.
ReScan: This function "restarts" the
arpeggiator scan each time it is actuated.
The next arpeggiator output note is the
one which should appear "first", based on
the current Scan Mode and other settings
(for example, the lowest note in the
current captured chord).
Hold/Trans: Activating Hold/Trans will
instantly activate Hold (see above) if it is
not already active, thus freezing the chord
buffer. While Hold/Trans is active, the
ar peggiator output can be ”live-
transposed” up or down (simple semitone
transpose) from the MIDI keyboard.
The transpose produced by playing any
note on the keyboard is equal to the offset
of this note relative to middle C (MIDI 60).
While Hold/Trans is active, the keyboard
has no effect upon the captured chord,
other than transposing it as described.
However, Hold/Trans (unlike Hold) can
be activated and deactivated freely. When
Hold/Trans is deactivated, Hold remains
active, as does the last transpose value
applied under Hold/Trans. This allows
switching between transposition and
accompaniment of the frozen (and still-
transposed) chord.
The transpose produced under Hold/
Trans is cleared via Clear or Run/Stop,
and is thus always zero whenever Hold
or Hold/Trans is first activated.
