Active
The first parameter on the Arpeggiator menu is Active, which specifies whether or not the
Arpeggiator is on for the current zone. This parameter can be switched from the
ARPEGGIATOR page, or for real‐time control, it can be switched on using Controller number
147 (ArpOn) and switched off using Controller number 148 (ArpOff); these Controllers can, of
course, be assigned as the destination of a PC3 physical controller.
Turning Active on affects zones whose ZoneArpeg values are also set to On. By setting the
ZoneArpeg parameter (on the CH/PRG page) to Off or On in the individual zones of a setup,
you can choose which zones will be controlled by the Arpeggiator when it is on.
Beats
The Beats parameter sets the number of notes per beat. The tempo is based on quarter notes.
Therefore, if you set it to 1/4, you will get one note per beat of the clock. At 1/16, you will get
4 notes per beat, and so forth. You can go all the way to 96 notes per beat (1/384), but at most
tempos, divisions smaller than 1/64 will sound pretty much the same. To find a Beats value,
