Arpeggiator - Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Operation Manual

Arpeggiator

As a last-minute addition, a simple arpeggiator was included as a hidden function. As
a hidden function, the operation is a little less than obvious, but the assumption is that
it's nice to have anyway.
Note: The Arpeggiator settings are not saved as part of the Program.
Basic operation is simple: while holding the R
switch for an Up direction arpeggio, Sequencer 2 for Down, 3 for Up/Down, and 4 for
Assign, which remembers the order the keys are held. The sequencer switch LED
will blink indicating which mode is currently selected.
Note: You can change modes at any time while playing, or while the keys are
latched.
The Sequencer clock determines the speed, which means it also takes into account
the Clock Divide value. This gives a very wide range of speed, and also enables
swing timing on the arpeggio. And, it can sync to MIDI.
To latch an arpeggio, simple hit the W
you remove your fingers from the keyboard. If you then hit another key, it will also be
latched. Hit the W
Note: You can hit the W
the keys you want in the arpeggio, and they will be latched.
Hit the R switch to clear the latched notes.
ESET
Note: You can only have any specific key played one time in the arpeggio; ie if
you are latching keys, and hit the same note twice, it will only latch the most
recent hit.
To stop the Arpeggiator, simply hit the S
switch again to un-latch.
RITE
switch with no keys held, and then just start hitting
RITE
switch, simply hit the Sequencer 1
ESET
switch, and the notes will be held when
