Arpache SX

Sequence Mode
In Sequence mode, you can import a MIDI part into Arpache SX by dragging it from
the Project window onto the Drop MIDI Sequence field on the right of the Arpache
SX panel.
The notes in the dropped MIDI part are sorted internally, either according to their
pitch if the MIDI Seq. sort by pitch checkbox is activated or according to their play
order in the part. This results in a list of numbers. For example, if the notes in the
MIDI part are C E G A E C and they are sorted according to pitch, the list of
numbers reads 1 2 3 4 2 1. Here, there are 4 different notes/numbers and 6 trigger
positions.
The MIDI input (the chord you play) generates a list of numbers, with each note in
the chord corresponding to a number depending on the Sort by setting.
Furthermore, the two lists of numbers are matched – Arpache SX tries to play back
the pattern from the dropped MIDI part but using the notes from the MIDI input. The
result depends on the Play Mode setting.
Trigger
The whole pattern from the dropped MIDI file is played back, but transposed
according to one of the notes in the MIDI input. Which note is used for
transposing depends on the Sort by setting.
Trigger Cnt.
As above, but even if all keys are released, the phrase continues playing from
the last position (where it stopped), if a new key is pressed on the keyboard.
This is typically used when playing live through the Arpache SX.
Sort Normal
Matches the notes in the MIDI input with the notes in the dropped MIDI part.
If there are fewer notes in the MIDI input, some steps in the resulting arpeggio
remain empty.
Sort First
As above, but if there are fewer notes in the MIDI input, the missing notes are
replaced by the first note.
Sort Any
As above, but if there are fewer notes in the MIDI input, the missing notes are
replaced by random notes.
Arp. Style
As above, but if there are fewer notes in the MIDI input, the missing notes are
replaced by the last valid note in the arpeggio.
Repeat
In this mode, the chords played are not separated into notes. Instead, they are
used as is, and only the rhythm of the dropped MIDI part is used for playback.
