The Arpeggiator (ARP) Page
Duration
Duration determines how long each arpeggiated note plays based on the current arpeggiator
Beats value. 100% means that a note sustains until the next one sounds—very legato. 50%
means that the note fills half the space between itself and the next note. The lowest value is
0%—stacattissimo. This parameter has no effect on percussion sounds or other sounds whose
duration is fixed.
Duration Patt
When Duration Mode is set to Pattern, the Duration Patt parameter appears, which allows
you to select a step sequence for arpeggiator duration patterns. A Duration Pattern sets the
duration of each arpeggiated note according to a sequenced pattern. Duration Pattern steps
are played back at the rate set for Beats. The duration of each note is a percentage of the
current arpeggiator Beats value. Select a factory pattern, or create a custom user pattern using
the pattern editor (see below for details).
Editing Duration Patterns
You can edit the highlighted pattern by pressing the EDIT button. You can create a new user
pattern by editing an existing pattern and saving it to a user ID.
Each step can have a duration from 0-100% of the current arpeggiator Beats setting. Each
pattern can have up to 48 steps. Pressing STEP- removes the last step in the list, pressing
STEP+ inserts a new note step at the end of the list (the pattern editor remembers the values
of removed steps until you save or exit). Use the navigation buttons to move between pattern
steps, use the Alpha Wheel, alphanumeric pad, or Previous-/Next+ buttons to enter the
duration amount for each step.
To save an edited pattern, press the front panel Save button to view the save dialog and select
a user ID. You can also rename the pattern if desired. Press DELETE to delete a user pattern
from memory. Press the Exit button to return to the ARP page.
