The arpeggiator is a function that automatically gener-
ates arpeggios (broken chords). Most arpeggiators pro-
duce an arpeggio when you play a chord on the
keyboard.
"Pat" UP, "Sort" check
The chord you played on
the keyboard is sounded
as an arpeggio (broken
chord)
In addition to this, the TRITON Extreme's arpeggiator is
a polyphonic arpeggiator that is able to produce a vari-
ety of chordal transformations or phrases based on the
pitch or timing of the notes you play on the keyboard.
These functions let you use the arpeggiator to play a
wide range of patterns including drum or bass phrases,
and guitar or keyboard backing riffs. It is also effective to
use the arpeggiator as part of the sound-creating process
when creating subtly-moving pads, synth-sounds, or
sound effects.
The TRITON Extreme provides five preset arpeggio pat-
terns (the standard UP, DOWN, ALT1, ALT2, and RAN-
DOM), and lets you create, program and store 507 user
arpeggio patterns; and 367 of these user arpeggiator
locations contain preloaded patterns. (☞OG p.98)
