Arpeggiator and Note Repeat
Arp Mode
When multiple notes are played, they can be broken up to play as an arpeggio instead of repeating.
•
Move the "Arp Mode" pot and position it to point at one of the selection options Up, Up/Down, Down, As played.
The notes triggered are played in the direction selected. If 'As played' is selected, the arpeggio will play the notes in the order the keys
are pressed.
•
Point the Arp Mode pot at its minimum position to set it to off. Played notes now repeat.
Arp Octave
An arpeggio can be extended to play up to 3 octaves above the triggered notes. Arp Octave does not have any impact on played notes if
Arp Mode is set to its off position.
•
Move the "Arp Octave" pot and set it to +1, +2 or +3.
•
Set Arp Octave to 0 to only arpeggiate the notes played.
Gate
The 8th pot is used to change the note gate parameter.
•
Move the pot towards its minimum position to shorten the length of the notes played.
•
Move the pot towards its maximum position to increase the length of the notes played. At the max position, notes are played legato.
Gate is a fun real-time parameter which can have an effect somewhat similar to controlling an envelope decay parameter with the added
advantage of allowing edits if you record the note data in your DAW.
Controlling Arp/Repeat velocity with joystick modulation
Velocity values can be adjusted in real-time using the joystick modulation control (up), instead of playing notes at the triggered velocity
value. This feature can bring excitement to any Arp/Repeat part and is well worth exploring.
•
To activate, hold [Function] and press [Pad 5 - Mod>Vel] until pad 5 is red. Arp/Repeat velocity is now controlled by the joystick up
movement. When Mod>Vel is on, the joystick up movement no longer controls modulation.
Simultaneously adjusting parameters for both keys and pads
Parameters controlled by the pots can be adjusted for both keys and pads at the same time.
•
Press and hold [Shift]+[Page] while moving the pot that controls the parameter you want to change.
•
Release the buttons when done.
