Advanced Arpeggiator Tour

Editing the Arpeggiator in Program mode:
In addition to the functions you learned in the Arpeggiator section of this guide, The Arpeggiator - Edit page
covers a few more functions that pertain to the pattern assigned to the selected Program.
1. Select Program A050 Arp Twins. Note that pattern U079 has been assigned to this Program.
2. Press the MENU key, then press P7: Edit - Arpeggiator. Here again, you'll find the functions we've
covered in the Arpeggio tab page, plus some additional functions that let you customize a pattern for the
selected Program, without disturbing the selected arpeggio pattern's original setting in GLOBAL mode.
The COMPARE key can be used in this page, so you can compare your edits with the original settings.
Check out the Gate function:
1. Press to highlight the Gate: 100% parameter, then, while playing and holding a note / chords on the
keyboard, rotate the DIAL counter-clockwise - to shorten the length of each note in the pattern.
Rotate the DIAL clockwise to increase the note length. A setting of 1%-100% means that all notes
sounded will be played with a specific gate time. You can also control the gate time with the GATE
knob (ARPEGGIATOR section).
2. Rotate the DIAL all the way right - until Step appears in the highlighted Gate area of the display. When
Step is selected, the length of the notes in the pattern will correspond to the individual step settings
that were programmed for the source User pattern - in the GLOBAL User - Arpeggio page. Note that
even when Step is selected, you can use the GATE knob to control the gate time.
Now to work with the Velocity function:
1. Using the same Program, highlight the Velocity: Step parameter, and play and hold a note / chords on
the keyboard. Because this value is set to Step, the individual notes in the pattern will sound with a
velocity level specified in the GLOBAL User - Arpeggio page.
2. Continue holding notes on the keyboard, and rotate the DIAL counter-clockwise, to lower the loudness
level of all the steps in the pattern.
3. Rotate the VELOCITY knob while you play, to control the loudness level of all the steps in the pattern.
