Arpeggiator options parameters
Click the Options tab to set global Arpeggiator playback parameters, such as note length
and velocity.
Options parameters
•
Note Length knob: Rotate to dene the length of the arpeggiated notes. This ranges from 1 to
150%.
•
Random knob: Rotate to set the amount of random note length variation.
•
Velocity knob: Rotate to determine the maximum range of possible velocity values for
arpeggiated notes. At the far right position (100%), the original velocities of recorded or played
notes are retained. At the far left position (0%), the original velocities of recorded or played
notes are ignored and all notes are output at a constant velocity.
•
Vel (Velocity Base) eld: Drag vertically to set a minimum velocity value that is used for random
velocity modulations and crescendos.
•
Crescendo/Random button: Click to switch between two modes: Random and Crescendo.
The amount of variation is controlled with the Crescendo/Random knob. The range of the
crescendo or possible random velocities is set with the Velocity parameters.
•
Crescendo/Random knob: Rotate to set the strength of the crescendo when the Crescendo/
Random button is set to Crescendo. Rotate to set the amount of random velocity variation
when the Crescendo/Random button is set to Random.
•
When set to Crescendo: The set amount is added to, or subtracted from, the velocity of all
notes on each arpeggio repetition, starting with the second cycle.
•
When set to Random: The velocity values of all notes are randomized symmetrically by the set
amount. At a value of 0% there is no randomization applied. At a value of 100% the velocity
values are completely randomized.
•
Swing knob and eld: Rotate to set the strength of note swing. The Swing parameter moves
every second note in the arpeggio closer to the nearest downbeat. A value of 0% results in no
note movement, whereas a value of 100% results in extreme note movement.
•
Cycle Length knob: Rotate to set a length for the arpeggio. You can choose from the following:
•
By Grid: Matches the arpeggio length to the global Logic Pro division setting. This is useful
for rhythmically synchronizing the arpeggio length with other regions.
•
1 to 32: Set the arpeggio length to the specied number of notes.
•
As played: The arpeggio length is determined by the length of played notes.
