See section “ARPEGGIATOR MODES IN DEPTH“ for more information on
the arpeggiator play modes.
The Play Direction parameter selects between five modes:
TRUE - The arpeggiator plays the notes in the same order they were
played.
UP - The arpeggiator sorts the notes and plays them upwards, in ris-
ing order.
DOWN - The arpeggiator sorts the notes and plays them down-
wards, in descending order.
CYCLE - The arpeggiator sorts the notes and plays them cycling
first upwards then downwards.
RND - The arpeggiator plays the notes in random order.
If the Range parameter is set higher than the default “1 OCT”, the arpeggia-
tor will repeat the cycles in higher octaves repeatedly up to the setting of the
setting specified by the Range parameter.
To activate the arpeggiator from the sequencer, enter chords!
ARPEGGIATOR MODES IN DEPTH
This section gives some examples on how the different arpeggiator modes
can be used.
MODE KEY - This is the way arpeggiator traditionally work. When the first
note is pressed the arpeggiator is activated and start playing the note
repeatedly with the timing specified by the Speed parameter. When more
notes are added the arpeggiator cycles between playing them. When keys
are released they are removed from the arpeggiator cycle. When all keys
are released the arpeggiator stops.
MODE SID - This mode replicates the operation of the arpeggiator of the
SidStation synthesizer. When only one key is pressed the arpeggiator is not
activated. When more than one key is pressed the arpeggiator is activated
and start playing the notes in cycle. When keys are released they are not
removed from the cycle, but continue being played. The notes stay in the
cycle until a new note is pressed. This way an arpeggiated chord can be
held without keys being pressed down, while preparing for another chord.
Stop the arpeggiato by pressing one single key or press [STOP].
MODE ADD - In mode Add no notes are removed from the arpeggiator
cycle until all keys are released. The arpeggiator start when the first key is
pressed, and more notes can be added to the cycle by pressing and releas-
ing keys while still at least one key is pressed. This way you can build up
large note-cycles quickly in auto-play sequencer style. The arpeggiator
stops when all keys are released.
