    4. ARPEGGIATOR 4.1 Clock and playmode The CLOCK sets the notes of the chord serially on the arpeggiator output (depending on the playmode). You can set the clock manually with the key A-CLOCK or automatically with external clock. The playmode is set with the key A-DIR or automatically with clock impulse via A-DIR input. The arpeggiator has four playmodes: UP - LED up on - direction forward (loop=4 steps) DOWN - LED down on - direction backwards (loop=4 steps)

  • Page 9: Scale Mode (Quantizer)

    4.3 Scale mode (Quantizer) The arpeggiator can also work as a quantizer. Then you use the choosen chord as scale. The keynote is determined by the keytone. The scales are limited on the 4 tones of the chord. The scalemode cannot be played manually but gets active starting from a voltage of 5 volt at the CV input "INPUT".
