Like the Scale and Chord engine, the Arp engine is dedicated to Keyboard mode.

The Arp engine can be seen as a melodic extension of the Note Repeat: Actually, Arp replaces

and extends Note Repeat in Keyboard mode. Instead of playing repeated notes at a constant

pitch you can play sequences of notes at different pitches.

Arp and Note Repeat have similar modes on your controller: Depending on whether your pads

are in Group mode or Keyboard mode, pressing

Note Repeat mode or Arp mode, respectively. Arp mode simply adds a few parameters to those

found in Note Repeat mode.

General Notes on the Note Repeat and Arp Engine

▪ The Note Repeat / Arp parameters are the same for all Sound slots in all Groups of your

Project. These parameters are saved with the Project.

▪ The Note Repeat / Arp engine processes live input from the pads of your controller only.

Input from third-party MIDI controllers and data recorded in the Pattern Editor are not

processed by the Scale and Chord engine.

▪ The Note Repeat / Arp engine detects and makes use of any changes in the pressure you

apply on each single pad you hold (Polyphonic Aftertouch). This allows you to generate ar-

peggios and repeated notes with varying velocities!

▪ The output of the Note Repeat / Arp engine is recorded into the Pattern Editor.

▪ The Note Repeat / Arp parameters cannot be modulated nor automated in MASCHINE.

▪ You can use Note Repeat and Arp even if the transport is not running: In this case the Note

Repeat / Arp engine will use its own central clock. This clock will be reset as soon as you

start the playback.

KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES owners: The central clock is shared by all connected

devices, so that e.g. repeated notes triggered from your MASCHINE controller and ar-

peggios triggered from your KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard will be synchron-

ized even if the transport is not running.

Pads in Group mode: Note Repeat
