The Arpeggiator (ARP) Page
Tempo
Use the Tempo parameter to set the arpeggiator tempo in beats-per-minute. This parameter
also sets the tempo for tempo synced effects and LFOs. Use the Keypad, Alpha Wheel, or
Previous/Next buttons to set a tempo that will be saved with the program.
You can also set the tempo to System by scrolling below 20 BPM, or typing -1 followed
by the ENTER button. When Tempo is set to System, the arpeggiator will use the system
tempo. System tempo is useful when you wish to set a tempo that will be used by many
programs. Programs set to System are not saved with a set tempo, and will always use the
global system tempo. To set the system Tempo, use the TEMPO section of the front panel.
Press the TAP button a few times at the desired rate, or use the TEMPO knob. For details on
system tempo, see TEMPO on page 9-36.
In Multi Edit Mode, the Tempo parameter is not shown, and the arpeggiator tempo is
determined by the Tempo parameter on the Common page.
Latch
The Latch parameter allows you to control how and when notes played on the keyboard
(or via external MIDI) will be arpeggiated. For example, some latch settings allow notes to
continue arpeggiating after keys have been released (these are called latched notes), and some
settings only arpeggiate certain notes. Keep in mind, notes played outside of the Arp Key
Range are never latched or arpeggiated.
Some Latch settings require using the Latch switch. In Program Mode, the Latch switch can
be controlled by the LATCH button in the front panel ARPEGGIATOR section, or by a
switch pedal by setting one of the Global Mode SW Override parameters to Arp Latch (see
Switch Pedal Overrides on page 9-11). In Multi Mode, the Latch switch can be controlled in
each Zone by the front panel LATCH button, by another controller, or by one of the Global
Mode SW Override parameters. In each Multi, the LATCH button or other controller must
be assigned on the Multi Edit Controls page of each Zone using Destination 157 (Latch
Sustain) or 158 (Latch2 Sost) with On Value 127 and Off Value 0.
Each of the Latch settings are described below.
Keys: If the Latch switch is turned off, notes are arpeggiated only when keys are held. As you
hold different notes, they get added to the arpeggiation, and as you release notes, they get
taken out.
When Latch is set to Keys, the LATCH button in the front panel ARPEGGIATOR section
can be used to latch played notes so that they will arpeggiate even after they are released.
In Program Edit Mode, when the Keys setting is selected, the Latch Type parameter appears.
The Latch Type parameter determines the behavior of the LATCH button in the front
panel ARPEGGIATOR section. When the Latch Type parameter is set to Latch Sustain, if
the Latch switch is turned on, any played notes will become latched. When the Latch Type
parameter is set to Latch2 Sost, any played notes will become latched, only when the Latch
switch is turned on while notes are held. Latched notes will arpeggiate until the Latch switch
is turned off.
