Rate
Click the Rate display to select the Arpeggiator's
Rate (or speed) from the list. For example “1”
stands for a whole note and “32” stands for a
32nd note. Dotted and triplet timing are indi-
cated by an asterisk (*) or “T” respectively.

Mod Patch Edit
Controls
The Mod (modulation) controls let you easily
create sophisticated modulation settings for
shaping a Part. Modulation wheel and pressure
(aftertouch) can be used as modulation sources.
Normally, the modulation wheel provides a pe-
riodically repeating modulation such as vibrato,
and aftertouch provides a static offset to the se-
lected destination such as volume or filter
swells.

Patches and Parts have pre-as-
signed settings for modulation wheel and after-
touch. With the following controls you can
adapt them or create your own.

Mod Wheel Controls
Mod Wheel Shape
Click the Shape button (the upper Mod Wheel
button) to select the waveform shape for the
modulation from the pop-up menu—an LFO
waveform used to modulate the selected desti-
nation. For most waveforms there is a choice of
a freely adjustable and a tempo-synchronized
setting (Sync), except for “Const” and “Ran-
dom.” If the pop-up is set to Const the move-
ments of the modulation wheel will directly
modulate the destination without a time varying
waveform.
Mod Wheel Destination
Click the Destination button (the lower Mod
Wheel button) to select a destination for the
modulation from the pop-up menu.
The following destinations for mod wheel action
are provided:

Description
Pitch Affects the Part’s pitch.
Wave Changes the sound in different
ways, depending on the
selected Part. For example,
shaping waveforms, FM modu-
lation depth, sample start point
offset, detuning.
Filter Affects the Part’s filter cutoff fre-
quency.
Volume Affects the Part’s volume level.
Pan Affects the Part’s position in the
stereo field.
