Arpeggiator Beat Sync
This option quantizes keyboard performance of the arpeggiator so that notes are
quantized to the current clock divide setting. Previously, changing notes or chords
on the keyboard during arpeggiator playback would retrigger notes whether or
not the note was played precisely on the beat. With this option enabled, arpeggia-
tor note playback occurs only on the beat — regardless of the precision of your
playing.
To enable Arpeggiator Beat Sync:
1. Press the
globals
button twice to activate the lower set of parameters.
2. Press program selector button 9.
3. Use the
bank
and
tens
buttons as decrement and increment buttons to step
through available settings and select
on
.
4. Once you’ve chosen the desired setting, press the
globals
button again to
exit.
MIDI Note Output from the Arpeggiator and Sequencer
The OB-6’s arpeggiator and sequencer can now output MIDI note numbers. Any
notes that you hold on the OB-6 keyboard will be arpeggiated according to the
current settings of the arpeggiator and output over MIDI (or USB) as MIDI notes.
Similarly, any notes output by the sequencer will be output over MIDI (or USB) as
MIDI notes. You can use this feature to drive other MIDI-equipped devices such
as synthesizers and drum machines.
To enable MIDI Note output from the arpeggiator and sequencer:
1. Press the
globals
button then press program selector button 5 (
param
xmit
)
.
2. Use the
bank
and
tens
buttons as decrement and increment buttons to
step through available settings and select either
cas
or
nas
. Your choice
depends on whether you were previously using CC or NRPN to send MIDI
controller data to your external device, as either setting will send MIDI
notes out. Choose
cas
if CC. Choose
nas
if NRPN.
3. Once you’ve chosen the desired setting, press the
globals
button again to exit.
