- Page 2 Introduction The Arpeggiator presents you with No idea what an arpeggiator is? In If you’re just getting acquainted with the tremendous possibilities: simplest terms, it's a device which Arpeggiator, and if you already have a captures chords (or short sequences of basic idea of what an arpeggiator is, - Use it to effortlessly (and interactively) notes) that you play into it, and then scans...
- Page 3 Overview Basics This is a MIDI arpeggiator device: - It is driven by MIDI note events on its MIDI input, which it captures in its internal chord buffer. - It continually scans this chord buffer according to the current settings and produces MIDI note events as output.
- Page 4 Control via the MIDI Keyboard - All other received channel messages A range of MIDI note numbers can optionally be dedicated to real-time control (e.g., modwheel, pitch bend, etc.) are echoed directly to the output at all times of a selected set of arpeggiator functions and have no particular pre-defined effect via the MIDI input (see Big Buttons Group, MIDI Kbd Ctrl ).
- Page 5 Timing and Synchronization Slots The arpeggiator's timing resolution is 24 clocks or pulses per quarter-note (PPQN). The note-on and note-off events it produces are aligned to these time increments. You can assign several instances of the Arpeggiator, so that each slot can have its own.
- Page 6 Functions This section presents a point-by-point description of the buttons and other controls on the arpeggiator surface. The discussion here is broken down into sections which correspond to the organization of the surfaces/pages Standard and Additional itself: Additional Page Standard Page Arpeggiator Contents Index...
- Page 7 Big Buttons Group This is the set of large buttons located at the bottom of the arpeggiator. These are essentially the "running" controls. Viewed as a group, they produce immediate, "big" changes. This distinguishes them from settings – i.e, all other controls on the surface –...

Note: this function is effective only when not already active, thus freezing the chord The next arpeggiator output note is the Scan Pattern is set to Fwd-Rev.
- Page 9 Standard Page Capture Mode Extend 1: Notes are added to the chord These settings control the way in which buffer as they are played and remain in received MIDI notes are captured to (and the chord buffer indefinitely. This capture removed from) the chord buffer.

- Page 14 Octave Extend Produces cyclical upward transposition of Max Velocity: Adjustable between 1 and - With Scan Pattern set to Forward, 127. This setting is effective only when the arpeggiator output by one or more output transpose is stepped upward by octaves.
- Page 15 Repeat Sweep Transpose When set to values other than zero, this This function can be used to produce a transpose is stepped downward by one setting causes the arpeggiator to repeat dynamically variable "chord inversion" octave each time a reverse scan is each output note for the specified number style of upward transpose.

Increasing the Note identical in their effect. The Norm control Dropout Altkey becomes a "manual rest" Dropout setting away from zero results is the one whose setting is normally or mute key, blocking arpeggiator output...
- Page 17 Rest Note This control permits a specific MIDI input note to be designated as a "rest" note. Whenever the arpeggiator lands on this note during a scan of the captured chord, it inserts a rest – i.e., no output note is generated for this scan step.
- Page 18 Additional Page LFO Settings These settings control various parameters of the built-in LFO, which can be used to modulate output note-on velocity. Note: Velocity must be set to Replace, and LFO Mod (in the same group) must be set higher than minimum, in order for Phase: This setting adjusts the starting - Similarly, Triangle waveforms are the controls in the LFO Settings group to...

That is: in the course of normal scanning, the arpeggiator has once again Beats/Clks: Activating this option permits returned to the "start" of its output pattern the LFO speed to be specified in terms of –...
