Program Edit Mode
The Arpeggiator Function
VelocityPat
When VelocityMode is set to Pattern, the VelocityPat parameter appears, which allows you
to select a step sequence for arpeggiator velocity patterns. Each VelocityPat shifts the velocity
of each arpeggiated note according to a sequenced pattern.
There are many pre programed velocity patterns to choose from, some of which create
rhythms by using velocity values of -127 or "none" to leave rests in the arpeggiation. The
patterns use the velocity received from the first note played as the center position to shift
velocities up or down from. If no other keys are playing, patterns will start over each time
a key is pressed (there are some exceptions to this when using ARP1 Latch parameters other
than "Standard," though a newly triggered pattern will always start at step 1.) When triggering
velocity patterns from more than one key at a time, each consecutive step of the pattern shifts
the velocity from a different inputted key, the order of which is decided by the Play Order
parameter on the ARP1 page.
Note: For patterns with negative velocity values, if the velocity of the first played note is
low enough that a pattern step could result in a velocity of zero, some notes may have a
velocity of zero and therefore produce no sound.
Editing Velocity Patterns:
You can edit the included patterns by pressing the Edit button when a pattern is highlighted
in the VelocityPat field.
