• If we now do the same procedure with the Steps function on - and set the number of steps to 4 - things work a
little differently.
This is what happens:
Pattern Mode with the Steps function on.
If you only hold down key C4, note C4 is played back on step 1 and note C5 is played back on step 2. Steps 3 and
4 are silent. In other words, a new note one octave above is automatically generated on the second step:
If you hold down C4 and E4, the pattern plays back note C4 on step 1, note E4 on step 2, note C5 on step 3 and
note E5 on step 4. So, the two held notes are played back one octave higher on steps 3 and 4:
If you hold down C4, E4, and G4 the pattern plays back C4 on step 1, E4 on step 2, G4 on step 3 and C5 on step
4. As you can see, the lowest held note is played back one octave higher on step 4:
Velocity
In default mode, when the Velocity function is off, the velocities of the input notes set the velocity of each generated
note in the arpeggio/pattern. If you want to define the velocity values and draw them in manually, you can activate the
Velocity function.
1. Click the Velocity switch:
2. Click or click-hold and drag the blue Velocity bars to manually set the velocity values.
When you play your chords, the input velocity is disregarded and replaced by the values you drew in the display.
Range: 0-127.
