Akai LPK25 Wireless User Manual page 6

The rate of the arpeggiator is based on the current tempo and time division settings.
To set the tempo, press Tap Tempo several times at the desired rate. The arpeggiator will
automatically detect the new tempo.
Important: Tap Tempo does not work when LPK25 Wireless is externally synced.
To set the time division, press and hold Arp On/Off, and press one of these keys on the
keyboard:
1/4 (quarter notes)
1/4T (quarter-note triplets)
1/8 (eighth notes)
1/8T (eighth-note triplets)
The arpeggiation type determines the order in which the notes of a chord play, whether they
ascend or descend, etc.
To set the arpeggiation type, press and hold Arp On/Off, and press one of these keys on the
keyboard:
•
Up: Notes arpeggiate from the lowest note up to the highest note.
•
Down: Notes arpeggiate from the highest note down to the lowest note.
•
Incl (Inclusive): Notes arpeggiate from the lowest to the highest note and back down.
Lowest and highest notes are retriggered when the arpeggio changes direction.
•
Excl (Exclusive): Notes arpeggiate from the lowest to the highest note and back down.
Lowest and highest notes are not retriggered when the arpeggio changes direction.
•
Order: Notes will be repeated in the same order in which their keys were pressed.
•
Rand (Random): Plays the held notes in random selection.
The arpeggiation range determines the number of octaves across which the arpeggio will play.
After the arpeggio plays at the highest octave in the range, the arpeggio will repeat from the
lowest octave.
To set the arpeggiation range, press and hold Arp On/Off, and press Arp 1, 2, 3, or 4.
The Arp On/Off button can function in one of two ways:
•
Momentary: To activate the arpeggiator, press and hold Arp On/Off while playing a
chord. To deactivate the arpeggiator, release Arp On/Off. This is the default setting.
•
Latching (toggle): To activate the arpeggiator, press and release Arp On/Off while
playing a chord. To deactivate the arpeggiator, press and release Arp On/Off once more.
To set Arp On/Off as a momentary or latching button, press and hold Arp On/Off, and
press the Latch key on the keyboard.
You can set the arpeggiator to follow the tempo of LPK25 Wireless's internal MIDI clock or
the external tempo of the project in your digital audio workstation (DAW).
To set whether the arpeggiator is internally or externally synced, press and hold Arp
On/Off, and press the Ext Sync key on the keyboard.
