Hot Tip! Synchronize
the effect delay time to your
arpeggiator patterns to create
complex polyrhythms. See
page 176 for details.
An arpeggiator moves a pattern of notes sequentially over a range of the
keyboard. Vintage Keys has the unique ability to play a different arpeg-
giator on each MIDI channel!
Arpeggiator settings can be defined as part of the preset (using the Arp
parameters in the Preset Edit menu), or globally in the Arpeggiator menu.
The preset and master arpeggiators have the same parameters which we
define in this chapter.
The Arp field in the main screen defines which arpeggiator settings will be
used. "M" uses the master Arpeggiator settings and on/off status (as defined
in the Arpeggiator menu). "P" uses the preset's arpeggiator settings and on/
off status (as defined in the Edit menu). Choosing "On" uses the preset's
arpeggiator settings regardless of whether or not it is turned on in the Edit
menu and Off turns off the arpeggiator regardless of the settings and status
specified in either menu.

All arpeggiators share Vintage Keys's master clock and its current setting.
The master clock can be Vintage Keys's internal clock or an external MIDI
clock (page 82). Although the arpeggiators use the master clock setting, the
tempo divisor can be unique for each arpeggiator setup.
Arpeggiator modes include up, up/down, forward assign, backward assign,
forward/backward assign and random as well as play Patterns. Patterns are
pre-recorded sequences of notes and rests. All key-on notes play the
pattern. For example, if you play a chord, all the notes in the chord play the
pattern in harmony. Vintage Keys contains 200 factory patterns and 100
user definable patterns.
