When all steps of an arpeggio pattern are played back, the pattern is repeated from the beginning so
that the arpeggio is looped. With
Pattern Reset
, you can decide if the note list is also restarted from
the beginning when the rhythm pattern is reset.
•
If
Off
is selected, the note list is not restarted, so that there is no synchronization between
rhythm and note list. E.g., when you have a pattern where four steps are set and you play
three notes, the pattern and the note list are repeated differently. The pattern restarts after
the fourth step while the note list restarts after the third step. The arpeggio might look like
this:
Pattern Step

If

Pattern Length
1…16
Pattern Length
16
Sets the length of the rhythm pattern. This parameter is also valid when
Pattern
is set to
Off
or if one
of the ROM patterns is selected. Note that you can only edit a particular step in the
Step Data
section
when its position is within the range of the
Pattern Length
parameter.
Arpeggiator Edit Menu Step Data
The following Arpeggiator menus all behave similarly. The left value dial sets the step that should be
changed while the right value dial changes the value of the step according to the possible value
range.
���
You can only select the steps that are in the range set by
Pattern Length
. E.g., when you have
set
Pattern Length
to
8
, you can’t change a value of step 9 or above.

Arp Accent
01[--Ï-Ò------Í----]
Sets the accent of a particular step. This accent is interpreted as velocity offset that is added or
subtracted from the original velocity stored in the note list. However, the generated velocities can
