• Chord on/off buttons: Turn on Chord mode for the respective step. When the
Arpeggiator encounters a chord step, it simultaneously plays all notes currently
in (latched or held) memory on that step. If a chord step is tied to a non-chord step,
Chord mode is automatically activated for that step. If a non-chord step is tied to a
chord step, Chord mode is automatically turned off for that step. Moving the velocity
bar on a chord step changes the overall level of the chord, while retaining relative
velocity differences between notes in the chord.
• Cycle length bar: Drag the handle at the end of the bar to change the grid length.
The currently playing step is indicated by a light running inside the Cycle length bar.
Note: The grid length set with the Cycle length bar is independent of the Arpeggio
cycle length parameter (which sets the length of the arpeggiated note pattern)
described in Logic Pro Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in options parameters. The grid length
cycles independently of the effective note pattern. This prevents disruptions to the
perceived rhythmic pattern created by the grid that can be caused by a change to
the arpeggio length.
• Scroll bar: Drag to move to steps that aren’t visible in the Grid display.
• Pattern pop-up menu: Choose a menu item to save or load user grid patterns or to load
a factory grid pattern.
• Save Pattern as: Opens a name field. Enter a name, then click the Save button to
save your pattern. Click Cancel to exit the “Save Pattern as” name field.
User patterns are shown in the Pattern pop-up menu.
Note: Factory grid patterns cannot be overwritten. If you attempt to do so, a Save
Pattern as name field appears.
• Recall Default: Deletes all current data and reverts to a “from scratch” state.
• Delete User Pattern: Deletes the current user pattern.
• Custom: This menu item is shown automatically when any pattern changes have
been made. It can be considered the “current state” pattern preset.
• Previous/Next Pattern button: Choose the previous or next pattern preset.
