Editing Velocity Patterns
You can edit the included patterns by pressing the Edit button when a pattern is highlighted
in the VelocityPat field.
The top line of the "EditVelocityPatt" page displays the pattern's name and total number
of steps. Each pattern can have up to 48 steps, and each step can shift velocities by ± 127
steps. You can insert a step with a value of "none" by entering -127 and then shifting down
one more step. A step with the value "none" causes the arpeggiator to play nothing for that
step, allowing you to create rhythmic patterns by using "none" to leave spaces. Pressing Step-
removes the last step in the list, pressing Step+ inserts a new velocity step at the end of the
list (the pattern editor remembers the values of removed steps until you save or exit.) Use the
navigation buttons to move between pattern steps, use the Alpha Wheel, or Previous-/Next+
buttons to enter the velocity shift amount for each step. Press More to see a second page for
patterns with more than 24 steps.
Press Delete to delete the pattern from memory. Press Rename to rename the pattern and
save. Pressing Save gives you the option to save the pattern or rename and save. To create a
new VelPatt, edit an existing pattern and choose Rename when saving. Press Exit to return to
the ARP2 page. When exiting the Progam editor, it will automatically give you the option to
save the pattern with a User Program if changes have been made.
The Velocity Modes Human1 through Human4 randomly change played note velocity
within a range in order to make arpeggiation sound more human like, with each note varying
slightly in velocity. The Human settings use the velocity received from the first note played as
the center of the randomization range. Each note of the arpeggiator will randomly choose a
velocity within the given range. (See the table below for velocity ranges.)
The Velocity Modes Chimp1 through Chimp4 function in a similar fashion to the Human
settings (see above.) Like the Human settings, the Chimp settings randomly change played
note velocity within a range, but the Chimp settings have larger randomization ranges.
The Chimp settings use the velocity received from the first note played as the center of the
randomization range. Each note of the arpeggiator will randomly choose a velocity within
the given range. (See the table below for velocity randomizationranges.)
Note: For Human and Chimp modes, if the velocity of the first played note is low enough
that the selected randomization range could result in a velocity of zero, some notes may
have a velocity of zero and therefore produce no sound..
