ASSIGN

This menu tab now sets the note, which was determined by the
operation-dependent sorting of the keys, opposite the
corresponding step (K1, K2, K3, K4, K5).

Figure 21. [ARP-ASSIGN]

If not all keys are played, notes are played as substitutes
according to the settings (Substitute).

CHORD plays all played notes on this step.

FIX (is for future extension).

MODE

This menu tab defines the Step Mode.

OFF

: No note is played in this step

: In this step the note is played

HLD

: (Hold) extends the note from the previous step

LEG

: (Legato) only the pitch of the step will be taken over

and there will be no new test stop
