Arpache 5

Length
Sets the length of the arpeggio notes, as a note value related to the project
tempo.
• To create staccato arpeggios, set a smaller value for Length than for
Step Size.
• To create arpeggio notes that overlap each other, set a greater value for
Length than for Step Size.
Key Range
Determines the arpeggiated note range, in semitones counted from the
lowest key you play. This works as follows:
• Any notes you play that are outside this range are transposed in octave
steps to fit within the range.
• If the range is more than one octave, octave-transposed copies of the
notes you play are added to the arpeggio (as many octaves as fit within
the range).
Play Order slots
If the User play order is selected, you can use these slots to specify a custom
playback order for the arpeggio notes: Each of the 12 slots corresponds to a
position in the arpeggio pattern. For each slot, you specify which note should
be played on that position by selecting a number. The numbers correspond to
the keys you play, counted from the lowest key.
For example, if you play the notes C3-E3-G3 (a C major chord), 1 means C3,
2 means E3, and 3 means G3.
NOTE
You can use the same number in several slots, creating arpeggio patterns that
are not possible using the standard play modes. You need to begin with the
leftmost slot and then fill the slots to the right.
MIDI Thru
If this button is activated, the notes that you play pass through the plug-in and
are sent out together with the arpeggiated notes.
