Here you can select how many octaves the arpeggio-pattern should go through while playing. In the
position „Octaves: 1” the notes will be only replayed in the original-soundlevel. In the position „Octaves:
2” at first the notes will be replayed in the original-soundlevel and then one octave higher. At the
maximum position „Octaves:4” the pattern will be transposed in a range of 4 octaves.
In the position „DblNote: ON” all the notes will be played twice instead of once. (On the free
programmable arpeggio-samples => Mot 1-9 this parameter has no influence because in the free
programmable Motions the repeating of different notes will be individually set for every step.)
The parameter „Length-Fit” forces the sequence of the arpeggio-pattern to be suitable to a 4/4 beat.
Even you start with 5 or only 3 notes the arpeggiator always starts at the beginning of the beat with the first
note.
Don’t hesitate to experiment with the above mentioned functions while the arpeggiator is
running. In this way you can hear and see the results immediately.
Let us now get back to the arpeggiator-mode on menu-page 1 of the arpeggiator. Since we learned
already how to work with the arpeggiator-setting, now we go to the Gater and chord-trigger-functions.
First of all please go to menu-page 1 of the arpeggiator - edit - menus.
This operating mode takes apart a single Sound or a chord. Modulations like LFO or En-
velope Generators (Envelope Pitches) that are on the sound will be preserved. The rhythm
of this „taking apart” (chopping up) either oscillates free or is given by one of the intern
sequence-tracks. In this way the chopped pads of common Dance, Trance and Techno-
music are produced. For this kind of sound-material always use Sounds with high sustain-
value in the VCA- Envelope Generator, so the tone can be delayed. With short and fast
oscillating sounds the tone already faded before the Gater-effect could take place.
