Element Description
TYPE (Knob 2) Sets the sequential order of the arpeggiated notes. You can choose
from following settings:
Up starts from the root note and plays the notes up through the
chord.
Down plays the notes the other way around.
Up & Down plays the notes in both directions alternatively.
Order Played plays the notes in the order you pressed down the
corresponding pads on your controller. If you have configured chords,
the arpeggio will first play all notes of the chord triggered by the first
pad you pressed, then all notes of the chord triggered by the second
pad you pressed, etc.
Chord plays all notes of the chord together repeatedly.
RATE (Knob 3)
Adjusts the note length, hence the rate of the arpeggio. Available
values are 1 BAR and a series of note values going from 1/2 (half
note) until 1/128 (a hundred twenty-eighth note).
UNIT (Knob 4) Selects from three variations of the original note length defined by
the RATE parameter: NORMAL plays the original note length (default
setting), TRIPLET plays triplets of the original note length (faster,
three notes in the duration of two original notes), and DOTTED plays
dotted versions of the original note length (slower, two notes in the
duration of three original notes). Under Button 5–8, triplet values are
indicated by a “T” and dotted values by a “D” next to the note value.
SEQUENCE (Knob 5) Allows you to add interesting rhythms to your arpeggiated notes.
Select one of eight different sequences and apply it to the arpeggio
you are playing. Select Off to use the default regular sequence.
OCTAVES (Knob 6) Adjusts the spread of the arpeggiated sequence. You can choose to
play back your sequence within the octave of the pads you pressed
on your controller only, or you can select up to eight octaves and let
the notes of your chord (or the single note of your pad) be played
back in as many octaves.
