Arpeggiator Page
Arp Mode
The two Arpeggiator modes, Classic and Step Sequencer, offer different means of shaping and
editing Arpeggiator patterns. Depending upon this mode, the Arpeggiator page will provide
access to different options and editable patterns.
In Classic mode, the Arpeggiator page will offer algorithmic options, as well as independent
note-Shift, Velocity and Duration patterns. These patterns are editable. See
Classic Mode Parameters on page 3-17
In Step Sequencer mode, you can edit sequences step-by-step, specifying Note, Velocity,
Duration and Beat for each step in a sequence. See
Parameters on page 3-25
Tempo
Use the Tempo parameter to set the arpeggiator tempo in beats-per-minute. This parameter
also sets the tempo for tempo synced effects and LFOs. Use the Keypad or ALPHA WHEEL
to set a tempo that will be saved with the program.
You can also set the tempo to System by scrolling below 20 BPM. When Tempo is set to
System, the arpeggiator will use the system tempo. System tempo is useful when you wish to
set a tempo that will be used by many programs. The system tempo can also be used to set
the tempo of the CC Sequencer, the rate of tempo synced FX (such as Delay), or the tempo
of the current Multi or Song. Programs set to System are not saved with a set tempo, and
will always use the global System tempo. To set the System tempo, press the TAP TEMPO
button a few times at the desired rate. You can also set the System tempo by pressing the
TAP TEMPO button, then adjusting the tempo with the ALPHA WHEEL, or by using the
KEYPAD buttons to type a numeric value followed by pressing ENTER.
In Multi Edit Mode, the Tempo parameter is not shown, and the arpeggiator tempo is
determined by the Tempo parameter on the Common page.
Latch
The Latch parameter allows you to control how and when notes played on the keyboard
(or via external MIDI) will be arpeggiated. For example, some latch settings allow notes to
continue arpeggiating after keys have been released (these are called latched notes), and some
settings only arpeggiate certain notes. Keep in mind, notes played outside of the Arp Key
Range are never latched or arpeggiated.
Some Latch settings require using the Latch switch. In Program Mode, the Latch switch can
be controlled by the LATCH button in the front panel ARPEGGIATOR section, or by a
switch pedal by setting one of the Global Mode SW Override parameters to Arp Latch (see
Switch Pedal Overrides on page
