Play Order
When the Shift Mode is set to Alg, Play Order appears. Play Order determines the order in
which the arpeggiator plays notes.
Played causes them to play back in the chronological order in which you played them.
Upwards means that notes play in ascending pitch order.
Downwards means that notes play in descending pitch order.
UpDown causes notes to play from lowest pitch to highest, then from highest pitch to
lowest, repeating the cycle until you stop the arpeggiation. The notes at the very top and very
bottom only play once.
UpDownRep is similar to UpDown, except that the notes at the top and bottom play twice
when the Arpeggiator reverses direction.
Random plays the notes in random order.
Shuffle plays them at random, but keeps track of the notes so that no note repeats until all of
the others have played.
Walk is a "random walk" order: each successive note is either the next or previous note (in
chronological order). For example, suppose you've played four notes—G4, B4, D5, and
F5—in that order. The first note the Arpeggiator plays is the G4. The second note will be
either B4 (the next note chronologically), or F5 (the "previous" note chronologically—that
is, the last arpeggiated note). If the second note is B4, the third note will be either D5 or G4.
If the second note is F5, the third note will be either G4 or D5.
Simultaneous makes the Arpeggiator repeat each note simultaneously. If you play a C and
hold it while you play an E and a G, the Arpeggiator will play all three notes at the same time
and at the same tempo. Simultaneous also works well with Shift and Limit, allowing you to
shift multiple notes simultaneously.
Velocity
Velocity sets the attack velocity of the played notes.
With Velocity set to First, all notes play at the velocity of the first played note.
With Velocity set to Played, each note repeats with the same velocity you played it at.
With Velocity set to Last, all notes play at the velocity of the most recently played note.
With Velocity set to Aftertouch, the velocities are controlled by keyboard pressure: as you
hold and push down on any key, the velocities get higher, and as you ease up they get lower.
With Velocity set to MIDI109, all notes play with the same velocity. The default MIDI109
velocity is 100. In Multi Mode, you can control the velocity in real-time by assigning a
controller to destination 109.
