Arpeggiator function
Using the arpeggiator while you play
The
arpeggiator
is
a
function
that
automatically
generates
arpeggios
(patterns
of
individual
notes
derived
from
a
chord).
Most
arpeggiators
produce
an
arpeggio
when
you
play
a
chord
on
the
keyboard.
The
microSTATION’s
arpeggiator
is
also
polyphonic,
and
can
produce
a
variety
of
chordal
transformations
or
phrases
based
on
the
pitch
or
timing
of
the
notes
you
play
on
the
keyboard.
These
functions
let
you
use
the
arpeggiator
to
play
a
wide
range
of
patterns
including
drum
or
bass
phrases,
and
guitar
or
keyboard
backing
riffs.
It
is
also
effective
to
use
the
arpeggiator
as
part
of
the
sound
‐
design
process
when
creating
subtly
‐
moving
pads,
synth
‐
sounds,
or
sound
effects.
The
microSTATION’s
Dual
Arpeggiator
feature
lets
you
use
two
simultaneous
arpeggio
patterns
in
Combination
mode,
and
Sequencer
mode.
You
can
take
advantage
of
this
in
many
ways,
including
a
separate
arpeggio
pattern
for
a
drum
program,
and
another
applied
to
a
bass
program,
or
using
a
keyboard
split
or
velocity
to
switch
between
two
arpeggio
patterns.
The
microSTATION
provides
five
preset
arpeggio
patterns:
the
standard
UP
,
DOWN
,
ALT1
,
ALT2
,
and
RANDOM
.
You
can
also
create
and
store
640
of
your
own
user
patterns.
The
factory
settings
contain
a
wide
variety
of
arpeggio
patterns
stored
in
these
user
locations.
