The RHYTHM parameters Rate, Sequence, and Swing.
17.6.1. RHYTHM Rate
The first RHYTHM parameter, Rate, is available in both Arp and Note Repeat mode. On the key-
board, it is mapped to Knob 3 of the Control section in Arp Edit mode. It sets the beat of the Arpeg-
giator in relation to global tempo in musical values, ranging from 1/1 to 1/128. All note values (ex-
cept 1/1 and 1/128) are available as basic notes, dotted notes, and triplets. Dotted notes are 1.5
times longer than the corresponding basic notes. Triplets are 2/3 the duration of their correspond-
ing basic notes, so that e.g., three 1/4 notes are equal in duration to two basic 1/4 notes.
The Rate setting includes the following values:
• 1/1
• 1/2 Dotted (1/2 D)
• 1/1 Triplet (1/1 T)
• 1/2
• 1/4 Dotted (1/4 D)
• 1/2 Triplet (1/2 T)
• 1/4
• 1/8 Dotted (1/8 D)
• 1/4 Triplet (1/4 T)
• 1/8
• 1/16 Dotted (1/16 D)
• 1/8 Triplet (1/8 T)
• 1/16
• 1/32 Dotted (1/32 D)
• 1/16 Triplet (1/16 T)
• 1/32
• 1/64 Dotted (1/64 D)
• 1/32 Triplet (1/32 T)
• 1/64
• 1/128 Dotted (1/128 D)
• 1/64 Triplet (1/64 T)
