18.6.1. RHYTHM Rate
The rst RHYTHM parameter, Rate, is available in both Arp and Note Repeat mode. On the
keyboard, it is mapped to Knob 3 of the Control section in Arp Edit mode. It sets the beat of the
Arpeggiator in relation to global tempo in musical values, ranging from 1/1 to 1/128. All note
values (except 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
corresponding 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)
• 1/128
18.6.2. RHYTHM Sequence
The second RHYTHM parameter, Sequence, is only available in Arp mode. On the keyboard, it is
mapped to Knob 4 of the Control section in Arp Edit mode. It gives you a way of adding interesting
rhythms to your arpeggiated notes. Select one of eight different sequences and apply it to the
arpeggiator sequence you are playing. Combine Sequence with the Rate parameter to create a
huge variety of rhythms at different tempos. If Rate is set to a basic or dotted value, then
Sequence applies a 16-step sequencer to the notes. If Rate is instead set to a triplet value, then
Sequence applies a 12-step sequencer to the notes.
You can switch sequences in real time during playback. For example, if sequence 1 is running and
you instead select sequence 2 after the fourth MIDI note in a pattern has been played back, then
sequence 2 starts when the fth MIDI note in the pattern is played back.
