Arp Preset
Use the Arp Preset parameter to recall factory or user created Arpeggiator settings. An Arp
Preset contains settings for all of the parameters on the ARP page (except for the State and
KeyRange parameters, which are stored with the Program/Multi). Scrolling through the Arp
Presets is an easy way to discover the dierent possibilities of the arpeggiator, or to nd a
preset similar to what you want and continue to edit it from there.
You can save your current settings as an Arp Preset by pressing the ArpSav soft button. If
you select a dierent Arp Preset before saving your current Arpeggiator settings, the current
Arpeggiator settings will be replaced by the settings from the preset without showing a
warning. Be sure to save your settings as an Arp Preset if you want to be able to recall them
after making additional changes. Even if you don’t save the current Arpeggiator settings as an
Arp Preset, the most recent settings will always be saved with the program when the program
is saved. Changing any of the Arp parameters will change the Preset to “0 Edited Arp”, to
indicate that the previous preset settings are no longer being used.
State
Use the State parameter to turn the Arpeggiator On or O. See the S.Buttons 1-2 parameter
in Chapter 12 for an easy way to control the arpeggiator in Program and Multi Mode. In a
Multi, this parameter can also be switched on using Controller number 147 (ArpOn) and
switched o using Controller number 148 (ArpO).
Arp Mode
e two Arpeggiator modes, Classic and StepSeq, oer dierent means of shaping and
editing Arpeggiator patterns. Depending upon this mode, the ARP page will provide access
to dierent options and editable patterns. In StepSeq mode, you can edit sequences step-
by-step, specifying Note, Velocity, Duration and Beat for each step in a sequence. In Classic
mode, ARP will oer factory-programmed note-Shift, Velocity and Duration patterns. ese
are editable when the global User Type is set to Advanced. Every Arp Preset is saved to one of
these modes.
Tempo
e Arpeggiator tempo parameter species beats-per-minute. When set to System it will use
the value set on the TEMPO page in Global Mode (see TEMPO on page 12-18 for details). If
a specic Arpeggiator tempo is saved with an Arp Preset, the Global tempo will be set to that
value when the preset is selected.
For quick access to the Global TEMPO page from any other page, press the left and right
navigation buttons simultaneously. You can then use the Alpha Wheel for real time control
over the Arpeggiator tempo, overriding the saved preset value.
Latch
Latch determines how the Arpeggiator responds to notes when they are they are triggered.
