Arpeggiator
To use the arpeggiator:
1. Press the arpeggiator on/off switch to turn it on.
2. Hold down one or more notes on the keyboard. The arpeggiator plays
them according to the settings you’ve chosen.
3. To latch arpeggiation on (so that you don’t have to continuously hold
down notes) press the hold button.
4. In the display menu, adjust settings such as
mode, octave range,
repeats, and bpm.
5. To synchronize a delay effect to the arpeggiator, turn on sync in the effects
section, choose a delay, and adjust its delay time setting as desired.
An audio signal connected to the rear-panel sequence jack can be used to control
arpeggiator (and sequencer) playback. This makes it possible to tempo sync the arpeg-
giator to a recorded drum track or other audio source. Audio signals used to drive the
arpeggiator/sequencer should not exceed 5 volts peak-to-peak. See “22. Seq Pedal
Mode: Normal, Trigger, Gate, T-G—Selects the mode for the rear-panel sequencer
jack.” on page 127 for more information about choosing the appropriate mode for
these behaviors.
