Menu: (various modes)/Arp/Edit Arp/Setup
Parameter: Playback Mode
Value Range: Local, MIDI, Local+MIDI
This parameter determines whether your arpeggiation pattern only plays
locally or if the Fusion actually sends out the MIDI data contained in
your arpeggiation pattern. The following chart should help clarify the
different uses of each mode
Setting Definition
Local The arpeggiation pattern is played inside the
Fusion and not transmitted to external devices
over MIDI. This is useful in situations where
you want the Fusion to play an arpeggiation
while an external sound module simply plays
the notes you are holding.
MIDI The arpeggiation pattern is transmitted to
external devices over MIDI but not played on
the Fusion itself. This allows you to play your
arpeggiation pattern on an external MIDI
device while having the Fusion play the chord
you are holding.
Local+MIDI The arpeggiation pattern is both played locally
and transmitted to external devices over MIDI.
This plays the arpeggiation on both the Fusion
and the external MIDI device.
