Play Order places notes in the pattern according to the order in which they are played. This
is therefore only recognizable when more than one chord or note has been played.
In addition to the Arpeggiator styles above, there are a number of random styles. Random
randomly selects incoming MIDI notes for playback. Random Other creates a random
pattern from incoming MIDI notes, and then plays the randomly generated chord repeatedly.
Random Once creates a random pattern from incoming MIDI notes and repeats the pattern
until it has been transposed or retriggered, at which point a new pattern is created.
Arpeggiator will play the pattern of notes at the speed set by the Rate control, which can
be calibrated in either milliseconds or beat-time using the neighboring Sync/Free button.
With Sync chosen, Arpeggiator will be synced to the song tempo.
A Gate control to the right of Rate determines the length of notes played by Arpeggiator
as a percentage of the current Rate setting. Any setting larger than 100% will therefore play
notes that overlap (i.e., are legato).
The rhythmic pattern generated by Arpeggiator does not necessarily have to be straight;
patterns can be given groove with the respective control just beneath the Mode chooser.
Groove in Arpeggiator works just like it does for clips, so that the intensity of the groove is
set in the Control Bar.
With the Hold parameter active, Arpeggiator will continue to play the pattern even after
the keyboard keys have been released. The pattern will be repeated until any other key is
