The V-Synth ’s arpeggiator goes way beyond what you would normally expect an
arpeggiator to be able to do because, as well as handling the usual up/down arpeggio
functions, it is also a quite a comprehensive pattern sequencer. If you haven’t done so
already, please read the section in the Owner’s Manual .

Stage 1 - Normal Arpeggios
Motif: UP, DOWN, UP&DOWN, RANDOM, NOTE-ORDER
A few little experiments with the main arpeggiator parameters - more “learning by
doing”, and lots of fun! Later on you will learn step and realtime recording, as well as
how to handle controller data.
Go to 024:Nylon Floot (which is suitably dynamic for our purposes) and play the
keyboard for a while to get used to the sound. Touch the Common pad and switch on
the arpeggiator as well as the Hold function . Take the Patch Tempo down to 100
(use the TEMPO knob if you like) . Play the D# below middle C and hold it. Add
higher black notes with wildly differing velocities (some soft, some hard), then release
the first note. Repeat this a few times until you come up with an arpeggio you really like.
Experiment with the Motif value and different Octave Ranges .
Because the KBD Velo parameter says REAL , each note will appear with its original
velocity. Play around with this parameter to see what it does, then set it back to REAL .
Now try the Duration parameter . When you’re finished, set it somewhere below 50
percent for shorter notes. Try some shuffle - 33 and 66 are full shuffle, the extreme
values ( 0 or 100 ) even play two notes at the same time. You might also like to try setting
the Resolution to a semiquaver - you can get some very interesting double-time effects
at Shuffle Rates of 33 or 66 !
Try playing the Time-Trip and turning C1/C2 . If you have connected an external
sequencer, you can record your performance because arpeggio notes are sent to the
MIDI output. Note that if you play the keyboard now, your original arpeggio will be
replaced by the new notes.
