17.8.2. ADVANCED Repeat
The second ADVANCED parameter, Repeat, is only available in Arp mode. On the keyboard, it is
mapped to Knob 2 of the Control section when page 2 is selected in Arp Edit mode. Repeat sets a
number by which each step in the arpeggiator sequence is repeated.
For example:
• If the arpeggiator sequence consists of a 3 note cycle (1 - 2 - 3) and Repeat is set to 3, the
Arpeggiator output is 1 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3 - repeat.
17.8.3. ADVANCED Offset
The third ADVANCED parameter, Offset, is only available in Arp mode. On the keyboard, it is
mapped to Knob 3 of the Control section when page 2 is selected in Arp Edit mode. Offset sets a
number by which the steps in the arpeggiator sequence are shifted in the cycle.
For example:
• If the arpeggiator sequence consists of a 5 note cycle (1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5) and Offset is set to 0,
the Arpeggiator output is 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - repeat.
• If the arpeggiator sequence consists of a 5 note cycle (1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5) and Offset is set to +1,
the Arpeggiator output is 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 1 - repeat.
• If the arpeggiator sequence consists of a 5 note cycle (1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5) and Offset is set to -1,
the Arpeggiator output is 5 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - repeat.
17.8.4. ADVANCED Inversion
The fourth ADVANCED parameter, Inversion, is only available in Arp mode. On the keyboard, it
is mapped to Knob 4 of the Control section when page 2 is selected in Arp Edit mode. Inversion
adds inverted alternations of the arpeggiator sequence to the cycle.
For example:
• If the arpeggiator sequence consists of a 3 note cycle (1 - 2 - 3), Type is set to Up, and Inver-
sion is set to 0, the Arpeggiator output is 1 - 2 - 3 - repeat.
• If the arpeggiator sequence consists of a 3 note cycle (1 - 2 - 3), Type is set to Up, and Inver-
sion is set to 1, the Arpeggiator output is 1 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 3 - repeat.
• If the arpeggiator sequence consists of a 3 note cycle (1 - 2 - 3), Type is set to Up, and Inver-
sion is set to 2, the Arpeggiator output is 1 - 2 - 3 – (2 - 3 - 1 octave up) - (3 - 1 - 2 octave up) -
repeat.
17.9. RANGE Parameters
The RANGE parameters Min. Key and Max. Key allow you to change the range of keys that trig-
ger the arpeggiator sequence.
