Duration Mode; Duration; Duration Patt - Kurzweil Flash Play PC4 Musician's Manual

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.
To save an edited pattern, press the front panel Save button to view the save dialog and select
a user ID. You can also rename the pattern if desired. Press DELETE to delete a user pattern
from memory. Press Exit to return to the ARP page.

Duration Mode

Use the Duration Mode parameter to set how the arpeggiator will control the duration
of played notes. When Duration Mode is set to Fixed, the Duration parameter appears
which allows you to set a fixed duration that will be applied to all arpeggiated notes. See
the Duration section below for details. When Pattern is selected, the Duration Pattern
parameter will appear, allowing you to select a preset or user defined duration pattern. See
the Duration Pattern section below for details.

Duration

Duration determines how long each arpeggiated note plays based on the current arpeggiator
Beats value. 100% means that a note sustains until the next one sounds—very legato. 50%
means that the note fills half the space between itself and the next note. The lowest value is
0%—stacattissimo. This parameter has no effect on percussion sounds or other sounds whose
duration is fixed.

Duration Patt

When Duration Mode is set to Pattern, the Duration Patt parameter appears, which allows
you to select a step sequence for arpeggiator duration patterns. A Duration Pattern sets the
duration of each arpeggiated note according to a sequenced pattern. Duration Pattern steps
are played back at the rate set for Beats. The duration of each note is a percentage of the
current arpeggiator Beats value. Select a factory pattern, or create a custom user pattern using
the pattern editor (see below for details).
