• Oct Range/Inversions button: Switch between two modes: Octave Range or Inversions.
The four-position Oct Range/Inversion switch below the buttons is used to determine
the octave range or the chord inversion pattern.
• Oct Range/Inversion switch: Determine the octave range or the chord inversion pattern.
See Logic Pro Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in note order inversions for details on the four
switch position behaviors in Inversions mode.
In Octave Range mode:
• Position 1: The arpeggio repeats without transposition.
• Position 2: The lowest note is transposed by one octave. Once repeated, the
arpeggio restarts in the original octave.
• Position 3: The first repetition is transposed by one octave, and the second
repetition is transposed by two octaves. Once the second repetition is played,
the arpeggio restarts in the original octave.
• Position 4: The first repetition is transposed by one octave, the second by two
octaves, and the third by three octaves. Once the third repetition is played, the
arpeggio restarts in the original octave.
In Inversions mode:
• Position 1: The arpeggio repeats without inverting the held notes.
• Position 2: The arpeggio is inverted once during the first repetition. Once repeated,
the arpeggio restarts.
• Position 3: The arpeggio is inverted twice, once each during the first and the second
repetition. Once the second repetition is played, the arpeggio restarts.
• Position 4: The arpeggio is inverted three times, once each during the first, second,
and third repetitions. Once the third repetition is played, the arpeggio restarts.
Logic Pro Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in note order variations
The table outlines the Arpeggiator behavior in each note order preset when the Variation
switch is set to the four available positions.
Note order Variation 1 Variation 2 Variation 3 Variation 4
Up Plays from the
lowest to highest
note in consecutive
order and restarts
when all keys are
played.
Plays the second
step first. This
variation consists
of four steps; all
pressed keys are
divided into groups
of four with the note
order applied to
all groups. If there
are fewer than four
notes, the steps
without an assigned
key are skipped.
Once all keys are
played, the arpeggio
restarts with the
lowest note.
Plays the third step
first. This variation
consists of four
steps; all pressed
keys are divided
into groups of four
with the note order
applied to all groups.
If there are fewer
than four notes, the
steps without an
assigned key are
skipped. Once all
keys are played, the
arpeggio restarts
with the lowest note.
This variation, which
consists of three
steps, plays up and
overlaps; all pressed
keys are divided
into groups of three
with the note order
applied to all groups.
If there are fewer
than three notes,
the steps without
an assigned key are
skipped. Once all
keys are played, the
arpeggio restarts
with the lowest note.
