step when the Retrigger is activated. If its deactivated it will continue on the
next step when a new chord is played. The steps are described below.

Step Display

The big display with the 32 step values is the heart of the Arpeggiator. Here
is where the rhythmic variations of the Arpeggiator can be defined.
As we said before an arpeggio is a Chord broken into Notes of equal
length (using the Clock parameter). In the Steps you can give these equal
Notes different velocity values, make pauses instead of notes or tie notes
together to create notes with a different note length.
Each step can be set to it's own velocity value of 1..127, and also to the
value "Off", which means that there is actually a pause, or to "Tie" which
means that the steps are bound together creating a longer note.
Keeping our C-E-G chord example, the step values of 127, 127, Off, 100,
Tie, 30, Off, Tie would result in the following (assuming a 1/16 clock, and
mode Up) Note C being played with maximum velocity, length 1/16th, then
Note E played just the same 1/16th length and 127 velocity, then a 1/16th
pause, then Note G played with velocity 100 (an average volume) and a
note length of 1/8th (as the next step is tied to this step), then Note C
played with a very gentle velocity of 30 at 1/16th length and finally a 1/8th
pause.
Note that a "Tie" after an "Off" is just the same as placing an "Off" behind
an "Off", both resulting in a longer pause. Also note that the arpeggio will
variate the pattern such that when starting with step one again it now plays
a E with velocity 127 and 1/16th length first; that's because we played a 3
note chord and have a 4 note step definition (playing C-E-G-C, next round
E-G-C-E and then G-C-E-G before starting with the first pattern again).

Length (Len)

Length defines the length of the actual Note On time of a note. As we said,
clock defines the length of the steps, such as a 1/16th note. With the Len
parameter you can define how much of this time the note is actually On
and how much it is Off. With a setting of full right the note length is the
same as the step length. A middle setting allows the Note to be on just half
of the time (for example a 1/32th of the 1/16th step). The more you turn the
dial to the left the shorter the note is played. The effect is most prominent
with sounds that have a short release time.
