Activating the Arpeggiator and Latch
Turning the Arpeggiator ON/OFF
When a preset has the Arpeggiator function enabled, you turn the Arpeggiator ON and OFF by pressing the
VALUE encoder switch (you must be in PRESET mode to engage the Arpeggiator).
When the Arpeggiator is ON, an ‘A’ will appear on the bottom line of the display:
With the Arpeggiator ON, any note or group of notes you play will be sequenced according to the settings
in the Arpeggiator menu. To turn the Arpeggiator OFF, simply press the VALUE encoder. The Arpeggiator
will switch OFF and the display will revert to the previous view:
NOTE: In previous versions of the Little Phatty OS, the VALUE encoder switch was used to advance presets.
In OS 2.0, the VALUE encoder switch operation has been changed to activate the Arpeggiator exclusively.
The VALUE encoder switch is still used in MASTER Mode to step through the presets in Performance Sets.
Note, however, that if a preset selected from the MASTER Mode Performance Sets has the Arpeggiator func-
tion enabled and you wish to turn the Arpeggiator ON for that preset, you will need to return to PRESET Mode
rst, and then press the VALUE encoder switch to activate the Arpeggiator.
Turning the Arpeggiator Latch ON/OFF
When the Latch function is enabled in the Arpeggiator menu and the Arpeggiator is switched ON, press-
ing the ENTER/STORE button turns the Latch ON. When the Latch is ON, an ‘L’ will replace the ‘A’ on the
bottom line of the display:
As long as the Latch is ON, the Arpeggiator will keep looping in its current state. Any new note or group of
notes will initiate a new note sequence based on the Arpeggiator Menu settings. If any notes are played and
held while the Latch is ON, playing additional notes adds to the current list of notes to be arpeggiated. If all
notes are released, the rst new note played will initiate a new note sequence.
To turn the Latch OFF, simply press the ENTER/STORE button. The Latch will switch OFF and the ‘L’ in the
display will be replaced by an ‘A’, indicating that the Arpeggiator is still active:
NOTES:
1. When the Latch is ON, you can turn the Arpeggiator ON/OFF using the VALUE encoder switch.
2. If the Arpeggiator Mode is ‘One-shot’ when the Latch is ON, the Arpeggiator will make one pass
of the note sequence and then stop.
3. When the Arpeggiator is switched OFF, the ENTER/STORE button will revert to the default action
of initiating a Preset Save sequence.
