When ARP is selected, the switch sets the direction that
is used to play back the arpeggio:
• If Up is selected, the note list is
played forward and the octaves are
transposed upward. The arpeggio
starts in the original octave and goes
up to the highest octave. Then the
arpeggio is repeated.
• If Alternate is selected, the note list is first played
backward and the octaves are transposed down-
ward. The arpeggio starts in the highest octave.
After reaching the first note of the note list in the
original octave, the note list is played forward and
the octaves are transposed upward up to the last
note of the note list in the highest octave to play.
Then the arpeggio is repeated.
• If Random is selected, the note list is played ran-
domly.
Speed
This knob offers two modes depending on
whether LFO or Arpeggiator is active.
In LFO mode: Speed sets the frequency of the LFO. At
low settings, it might take several minutes for the LFO to
perform a complete cycle while higher settings are up to
the audible range (from 0.05 Hz to 50 Hz). The center
position is about 1 Hz. When MIDI clock is received,
you can adjust Speed in musical values (e.g. 1/4) in
reference to the frequency.
w When Speed is turned fully counter-clockwise, the
LFO stops and each note generates a random out-
put value.
In ARP mode: Speed sets the speed of the arpeggiator in
BPM with 1/8th note steps. The range goes from 24 up to
600 BPM. When external MIDI clock is received, you
can adjust Speed in musical values (e.g. 1/4) in refe-
rence to the frequency.
w When external MIDI clock becomes inactive,
LFO / Arp will remain on last Speed value until
another speed is set.
w By the way: The LED above the Speed knob is
pulsating rhythmically to the LFO frequency. If in
Arp mode, the LED will be blinking when arpeg-
giator notes are generated.
