Arpeggiator and Note Repeat
Impact LX Mini's arpeggiator and note repeat feature can help create interesting musical parts by adjusting a few controls. There are two
Arp/Repeat engines, one for the keyboard and another for the pads. Settings are programmed independently for keyboard and pad with
only the tempo source shared.
Played notes are quantized to the nearest 1/16 note value. If you are a little behind the beat you may get unintentional or intentional
note offsets. Play a little ahead of the beat if you need the notes to be right on the downbeat.

When LX Mini is switched on for the first time, the Arp/Repeat [On/Off] button is in its on position.

Press the [On/Off] button at any time to activate or deactivate Arp/Repeat.
