MIDI Effects
Introduction
This chapter describes the included MIDI realtime effects and their parameters. How
to apply and handle MIDI effects is described in the Operation Manual.
Arpache 5
A typical arpeggiator accepts a chord (a group of MIDI notes) as input, and plays back
each note in the chord separately, with the playback order and speed set by the user.
The Arpache 5 arpeggiator does just that, and more. Before describing the
parameters, let’s look at how to create a simple, typical arpeggio:
1. Select a MIDI track and activate monitoring (or record enable it) so that you can
play thru the track.
Make sure that the track is properly set up for playback to a suitable MIDI
instrument.
2. Select and activate the arpeggiator.
For now, use it as an insert effect for the selected track.
3. In the arpeggiator panel, use the Step Size setting to set the arpeggio speed.
The speed is set as a note value, relative to the project tempo. For example, setting
Step Size to 16 means the arpeggio is a pattern of sixteenth notes.
4. Use the Length setting to set the length of the arpeggio notes.
This allows you to create staccato arpeggios (Length value smaller than the “Step
Size” setting) or arpeggio notes that overlap each other (Length value greater than
“Step Size”).
