ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES
THE ARPEGGIATOR
Each track of the Monomachine (including the MIDI sequencer tracks) offers
an advanced arpeggiator. The arpeggiator is a note processor that gener-
ates rhythmic note patterns that is generated from the arpeggiator settings
and the notes pressed. Most commonly arpeggiators are used for making
automated real-time monophonic cycled notes based on the chord played.
Each pattern offers 12 arpeggiators, one per track. The arpeggiator window
is called by pressing [ARP] while holding [FUNCTION]. Select which track
you want to edit the arpeggiator for using the [TRACK] keys. Use [MIDI
SEQ] while holding [FUNCTION] to edit the MIDI sequencer arpeggiators
(see page 59 for more information on the MIDI sequencer).
ARPEGGIATOR BASIC SETTINGS
The main Arpeggiator interface is printed below:
The top four parameters are controlled using the four upper DATA ENTRY
encoders.
• SPD = SPEED
• MODE = MODE
• PLAY = PLAY DIRECTION
• RNGE = OCTAVE RANGE
Assuming you start with a uninitialised arpeggiator, you need to change the
Mode from the default “OFF” setting to activate it.
The Speed parameter controls the speed the notes are played by the
arpeggiator, or more precisely the delay between two consecutive notes. A
Speed setting of 6 equals one 1/16 note, 12 equals 1/8 and so on.
The Mode parameter selects between four modes:
• OFF - Inactivates the arpeggiator.
• KEY - The arpeggiator operates on the keys currently played.
• SID - Keys stay in the arpeggiator even after NOTE_OFF. Single keys
do not activate the arpeggiator.
• ADD - Keys are added into the arpeggiator as long as at least one
key is pressed.
