ARPEGGIATOR PARAMETER
Arpeggiator Parameters
ARP is short for Arpeggiator, a clocked processor that normally takes a chord and outputs individual notes,
one after the other. The Arpeggiator in your Virus also features repeated chords, preset and custom rhythmic
patterns, shufe, innite hold etc.
Mode •
Mode Meaning
Off No arpeggiation. No other arpeggiator parameters will be visible.
Up Ascending notes, starting with the lowest note.
Down Descending notes, starting with the highest note.
Up+Down Ascending then descending notes, starting with the lowest note.
As Played In the same order as received MIDI notes.
Random Random note order, random octave (see Octaves parameter below).
Chord Plays all entered notes at the same time.
Octaves •
1 to 4: Notes can be successively transposed up an octave at the start of each new arpeggio cycle. The
value here is equal to the number of cycles before the arpeggio reverts to its original pitch - so a value of 1
means no transposition.
Pattern •
User, 2 to 64: Selects the arpeggiator pattern. A “User” pattern can be created for each program using Vi-
rus Control. As well as positions and lengths, most patterns contain extra velocity data for added rhythmic
effect. To apply velocity data, set the Velocity parameters or use the modulation matrix with Velocity as the
source.
