The Arpeggiator Function
Tempo
The Arpeggiator tempo parameter specifies beats-per-minute. When set to System it will
use the the value set on the TEMPO page in Global Mode (see
details). If a specific Arpeggiator tempo is saved with an Arp Preset, the Global tempo will be
set to that value when the preset is selected.
For quick access to the Global TEMPO page from any other page, press the left and right
navigation buttons simultaneously. You can then use the Alpha Wheel for real time control
over the Arpeggiator tempo, overriding the saved preset value.
Latch
Latch determines how the Arpeggiator responds to notes when they are they are triggered.
Keys means that the Arpeggiator plays only while you are holding one or more keys down
(or note triggers on). As you play different notes, they get added to the Arpeggiator, and as
you release notes, they get taken out. If you play notes faster than the Arpeggiator's current
tempo, each subsequent note will be added to the arpeggiation at the next division of a
beat. This can cause a lag between the time you play the note and the time you hear it in the
arpeggiation.
In the next three modes, the Arpeggiator latches notes only when MIDI Controller 157
(Latch) sends a value of On (64 or higher). An easy way to experiment with these modes is to
assign the Mod Wheel to send MIDI 157.
In Overplay mode, the Arpeggiator latches any notes that are being held when Latch turns
on, and continues playing them, even after you let them go, until Latch turns off. Any
notes that you play after Latch is already on do not get arpeggiated, even if they're in the
arpeggiation range.
Arpeg is similar: any notes held when Latch goes on are latched and arpeggiated, and keep
going until Latch goes off. Any notes you play outside the arpeggiation range play normally.
Notes that you play inside the arpeggiation range do not play normally; rather, if you hold
them on, they become part of the arpeggiation. They drop out of the arpeggiation as soon as
you release them.
Like Overplay and Arpeggiation, Add means that all notes being held when Latch goes on
get latched, and keep playing until Latch goes off (even if you've released the notes). Any
notes you play after Latch is already on also get latched.
Auto is independent of Latch; every note you play is automatically latched, and the
Arpeggiator runs as long as you hold at least one arpeggiated note. As long as you keep
holding on at least one note (it doesn't have to be the same note the whole time), every note
you play in the arpeggiation range gets latched.
Pedals is sort of a combination of Keys, Add, and Overplay modes. It relies on both Latch
(MIDI 157) and Latch2 (MIDI 158). If neither latch controller is on, notes will arpeggiate
only while you are holding down keys (similar to Keys mode). If you activate Controller 158,
the keys currently held down will latch, and any additional keys played while Controller 158
