 Up/Down: Up and down—highest and lowest notes repeat.
 Auto: Up or down, depending on whether the second chord note arrived before, or
after, the first chord note.
 Up/Down2: Up and down—highest and lowest notes don’t repeat.
 Random: Notes play in random order.
 All: All notes play at once (useful when Repeat is on).
Velocity
Determines the velocity values of the arpeggiated notes. You can choose between the
following settings:
 1 to 127: Fixed velocities
 Original: The velocities of the recorded notes are retained.
 Random: Random velocities between 1 and the original value.
Key Limit
This is where you can define the pitch range for the chord arpeggiation. Any chord
notes outside this range are passed directly to the output. This is useful when you want
to solo above, or play a bass line below an arpeggiated chord.
Resolution
This is where you set the rhythmic note value (the speed in note divisions) of the
arpeggio. The None setting deactivates the arpeggiator.
Length
This is where you define the length of the arpeggiated notes. The Original setting
retains the lengths of incoming (or recorded) notes.
Snap To
Unless this value is set to None, the arpeggiator will wait for Logic Express to reach the
next indicated note division before starting the arpeggio. This is useful for rhythmically
synchronizing the arpeggio with other MIDI data.
Repeat
Enabling this option continues the arpeggio for as long as the chord is held down. If
the option is disabled, the arpeggio will only play through once.
Octaves
The arpeggio can be repeated over 1 to 10 octaves.
Crescendo
The velocity value set here is added every time the arpeggio is repeated (if the Repeat
parameter is turned on, of course).
