The Arpeggiator Function
7-58
Keys means that the Arpeggiator plays only while you are holding one or more keys down
(or note triggers on). As you play dierent notes, they get added to the Arpeggiator, and as
you release notes, they get taken out. If you play notes faster than the Arpeggiator’s current
tempo, each subsequent note will be added to the arpeggiation at the next division of a
beat. is can cause a lag between the time you play the note and the time you hear it in the
arpeggiation.
In the next three modes, the Arpeggiator latches notes only when MIDI Controller 157
(Latch) sends a value of On (64 or higher). An easy way to experiment with these modes is to
assign the Mod Wheel to send MIDI 157.
In Overplay mode, the Arpeggiator latches any notes that are being held when Latch turns
on, and continues playing them, even after you let them go, until Latch turns o. Any
notes that you play after Latch is already on do not get arpeggiated, even if they’re in the
arpeggiation range.
Arpeg is similar: any notes held when Latch goes on are latched and arpeggiated, and keep
going until Latch goes o. Any notes you play outside the arpeggiation range play normally.
Notes that you play inside the arpeggiation range do not play normally; rather, if you hold
them on, they become part of the arpeggiation. ey drop out of the arpeggiation as soon as
you release them.
Like Overplay and Arpeggiation, Add means that all notes being held when Latch goes on
get latched, and keep playing until Latch goes o (even if you’ve released the notes). Any
notes you play after Latch is already on also get latched.
Auto is independent of Latch; every note you play is automatically latched, and the
Arpeggiator runs as long as you hold at least one arpeggiated note. As long as you keep
holding on at least one note (it doesn’t have to be the same note the whole time), every note
you play in the arpeggiation range gets latched.
Pedals is sort of a combination of Keys, Add, and Overplay modes. It relies on both Latch
(MIDI 157) and Latch2 (MIDI 158). If neither latch controller is on, notes will arpeggiate
only while you are holding down keys (similar to Keys mode). If you activate Controller 158,
the keys currently held down will latch, and any additional keys played while Controller 158
is on will also latch (similar to Add mode). When Controller 158 is o, any keys that are
not currently held down will be removed from the arpeggiation. If you activate Controller
157, keys currently held down will latch, and any additional keys played while Controller
157 is on will play normally (similar to Overplay mode). is mode is called Pedals mode
because you might want to assign Footswitch 1 to Latch (Controller 157) and Footswitch 2
to Latch2 (Controller 158) to make the pedals function similarly to sustain and sostenuto
pedals. Additionally, you could assign one Footswitch to SusLatch (Controller 160)—doing
this makes the Footswitch act as a sustain pedal when Arp is o, and as a Latch pedal when
Arp is on.
