Iridium Manual
Step Length
Determines the rate at which notes are triggered – that is
to say, the speed at which the arpeggio is running. In addi-
tion to the
Bpm
parameter this gives you further control
over the playback speed. You can specify a value in frac-
tions of beats. For example, if
Step Length
is set to 1/8, the
arpeggio plays eight notes per measure.
Swing
Determines how much the timing affects an arpeggio step.
If
Swing
is set to
0.50,
the arpeggio is played back without
any shuffled timing. Settings from
0.51
to
0.95
increase the
shuffling of the notes and creates a typical swing. You can
also use settings below
0.50
to influence the timing.
Rhythm Pattern
With the pop-up menu
Pattern
you can select one of the
31 internal rhythm and accent patterns.
Reset
Sets up a limit for the played notes. This is useful to create
inclined measures. Set
Reset
to
8
or
16
to start an arpeggio
at the beginning of a measure.
RelGate (Release Gate)
With the settings of the pop-up menu
RelGate
you can
determine the note length depending on the original
length. The lower the value, the shorter the played notes.
Mode
Here you can switch between the Arpeggiator mode, which
uses the standard arp parameters, and Sequencer mode,
where own patterns can be programmed. Also, a Parame-
ter sequencer is available as well as the Pad trigger.
Algorithm
Sets the direction that is used to play back the arpeggio.
This parameter works in conjunction with
Octaves
and
Sort Order
:
•
If
Up
is selected, the note list is played forward and the
octaves are transposed upward. The arpeggio starts in
the original octave and goes up to the highest octave
(determined with
Octaves
). Then the arpeggio is
repeated.
•
If
Down
is selected, the note list is played backward
and the octaves are transposed downward. The arpeg-
gio starts in the highest octave (determined with
Octa-
