Here you can select the basic-functions of the arpeggiator. Besides the arpeggiator here you will also
find the functions „GATER” and „CHORD-TRIGGER”. We will take a look at these functions later.
Please don’t change anything on this page, yet.
Since menu-page 2 is only dealing with these two functions we will go directly to menu-page 3. To
do so please use your PAGE/BANK-button.
In the position „Hold:OFF” the arpeggiator plays only as long as you hold down the keys on the
keyboard. As soon as you release one or all the keys the selected notes won’t be played any longer.
The „Hold: ON”-mode is totally different. Here the arpeggiator plays the notes until you actually stop the
arpeggiator. If you hold down only one key you can fill the „note-pool” with every following key you
play. The others automatically play on even you just activate them with a tap on. You can select up to 16
notes. Only when you release all the keys and afterwards play some new notes the „note-pool” will be
cleared and refilled with your new notes.
This mode is especially important when the arpeggio-pattern should content more notes than you
actually could play with one tap on or if you need both hands for editing.
Here you can set the touch sensitivity on the keys of your keyboard and decide if it will have influence on
the arpeggio-sequence. If this function is put on „OFF” the notes of the running sequence will always
play with full dynamic (loud). In the „ON”-position the notes will be played with the different touch
sensitivities. (with free-programmed arpeggio-pattern=>Mot 1-9 this parameter won’t have any
influence because in free-programmed motions you can also select the dynamic-values).
With this parameter you set the note-value a single step of the arpeggiator has. In the position „16” the
arpeggiator plays up to 16 notes in one beat. You can also use this parameter to run the arpeggiator with
the double or half amount of sequence-tempo.
