The Arpeggiator Function
State
Use the State parameter to turn the Arpeggiator On or Off. The State parameter does the
same thing as the front panel Arp On/Off switch.
Arp Mode
The two Arpeggiator modes, Classic and StepSeq, offer different means of shaping and
editing Arpeggiator patterns. Depending upon this mode, the ARP2 page will provide
access to different options and editable patterns. In Classic mode, ARP2 will offer factory-
programmed note-Shift Patterns, and editable Velocity and Duration patterns. In StepSeq
mode, you can use ARP2 to edit sequences step-by-step, specifying Note, Velocity, Duration
and Beat for each step in a sequence.
Tempo
The Arpeggiator tempo parameter specifies beats-per-minute. When set to System it will use
the value set on the TEMPO page in Global Mode (see
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
"Latching" allows played keys to continue arpeggiating after keys have been released (referred
to as "latched" keys or notes). The different settings of the Latch parameter determine
how the latching behaves. To access all of the Latch settings, the Global Mode User Type
parameter must be set to "Advanced" (see
mind, notes played outside of the Arp KeyRange are never latched or arpeggiated.
Some Latch settings require using the Latch switch. The Latch switch can be assigned to a
soft button by setting the Global Mode S.Buttons parameter to "Arp" (see
page 12-5), or to a pedal by setting a Controller Override to "Arp Latch" (see
(Controller Overrides Page)" on page
switch by assigning a switch to destination 157 (Latch) (values 0-63 = off, 64-127 = on).
Standard: Notes are always arpeggiated when keys are held. As you play different notes,
they get added to the arpeggiation, and as you release notes, they get taken out. Any keys
that are being held when the Latch switch is turned on are latched. Latched keys continue
arpeggiating after they are released until the Latch switch is turned off.
Overplay: Notes are arpeggiated only when the Latch switch is turned on while notes are
held. Overplay latches any keys that are being held when the Latch switch is turned on.
Latched keys continue arpeggiating after they are released until the Latch switch is turned
off. Any notes that you play after the Latch switch is turned on do not get arpeggiated.
