Arpeggiator controls
The following table describes the controls in the Arpeggiator.
Control Description
Enable/Disable Enables/disables the arpeggiator on a given track. This control can be assigned to MIDI
remote control and modified in real-time during project playback.
Preset Control You can create and edit arpeggiator presets; all user parameters are stored in the preset.
• Arpeggiator settings are included in track templates.
• Arpeggiator presets can be saved to a file and exchanged with other users.
• Arpeggiator files are stored in a shared directory.
For details, see Using patterns and presets.
Rate Adjusts the relative speed of the arpeggiator sequence by changing all the note durations by
a factor of the current tempo. This control can be assigned to MIDI remote control and
modified in real-time during project playback.
Octave Range Sets the number of octaves through which the arpeggio will play. A value of 1 means that a
held chord will only arpeggiate the notes that are being held within the octave from which the
notes are being transmitted. A value of 2 means a held chord will arpeggiate for two octaves.
The held chord always represents the bass octave, meaning that the other octaves sound in a
higher register.
If you specify a range higher than the standard MIDI specifications, the Arpeggiator will
repeat the pattern in the highest available octave as necessary.
This control can be assigned to MIDI remote control and modified in real-time during project
playback.
Latch Latch keeps the arpeggio playing after you let go of the keys.
This control can be assigned to MIDI remote control and modified in real-time during project
playback.
Swing Applies swing to the arpeggio. Swing is either on or off.
Velocity An offset control that adds whatever velocity value you select to the velocities of the notes in
the pattern.
Duration Controls whether the notes in the pattern are held to their full value, or are held for shorter or
longer durations.
Pitch Offset A transposition control in half-steps, up or down a maximum of 2 octaves.
Flam Amount If a pattern contains flams, this menu controls how big a difference there is between the
attack time of the flam and the note it is attached to.
Source Mix When 0, simultaneously held notes arpeggiate as single notes. At 50%, simultaneously held
notes are heard as a chord in addition to the usual arpeggiated notes, both at equal levels. At
100%, only the held chord is audible.
Control: Knob (0 – 100%); this control can be assigned to MIDI remote control and modified in
real-time during project playback.
