TIMING NOTES
-
If you press the notes of the chord at inconsistent timings, the beginning of the arpeggio might be disordered. Try
to play the keys together at the same time for best timing results.
-
Unless the [HOLD] button is pressed and on, the arpeggio will repeat only for as long as the keys are held down.
-
The way the arpeggio plays depends on how you have the envelope set up to trigger notes:
If the switch is in the GATE position, and the ADSR is set to produce a decaying sound (S=0) the sound stops when
the envelope ends.
HOLD
You can hold the sound even after the key is released, by pressing the [HOLD] button. The level of the sound is
determined by the sustain (S) level of the envelope (ENV.)
OCTAVE SWITCH
The SH-01A Arpeggiator has a 2 octave range selection.
To adjust the range, select UP, DOWN or U&D and slide the C! Ribbon Control Strip to select 1 or 2 octaves.
Arpeggiator settings are saved with the patch.
TRANSPOSE ARPEGGIO
It's possible to transpose your arpeggios.
1. Play and hold an arpeggio
2. Hold the [KEY TRANSPOSE] button and select a key (or rotate the [VALUE] knob
CONDITIONS
Once you've set the TRANSPOSE setting of the arpeggio, you can turn this function ON and OFF again by pressing
the [TRANSPOSE KEY] button. You don't have to re set the transpose amount every time. Once set, the button
becomes an instant transpose function for the amount last set.
NOTE - The Transpose setting of "0" (or no transposition) is middle C on the keyboard.
MIDI TRANSPOSE
It's also possible to control the transpose function of the SH-01A remotely from a midi controller or sequencer.
1. Enable the Arpeggiator
2. Play some notes and hold them
3. On your sequencer or controller keyboard send CC 77 with a value of 64 for the original pitch - Change the pitch
in increments of 1 per controller number value.
Example: UP 5 semi tones = CC 77 VALUE 69
