The Arpeggiator Function
7-64
The ARP2 Page
e ARP2 page will allow you to set dierent parameters depending upon the Arp Mode
selected. When set to “Classic” the ARP2 page will give access to these parameters:
With Arp Mode set to Classic, the Velocity Mode and Duration Mode parameters include
settings that use pattern sequencers for note and velocity shifting, allowing you to more
precisely control the Arpeggiator output.
Velocity Mode First, Played, Last, Aftertouch, MIDI 109, Fixed, Pattern (1-74
factory patterns plus user created patterns) Human1-4, Chimp1-4,
MissNotes1-9
Played
Velocity (Fixed) 1 to 100 100
Duration Mode Fixed, Pattern
Duration (Fixed) 1% to 100% 100%
Velocity Mode
Velocity sets the attack velocity of the played notes. With Velocity set to First, all notes play
at the velocity of the rst played note. With Velocity set to Played, each note repeats with
the same velocity you played it at. With Velocity set to Last, all notes play at the velocity of
the most recently played note. With Velocity set to Aftertouch, the velocities are controlled
by keyboard pressure: as you hold and push down on any key, the velocities get higher, and as
you ease up they get lower.
With Velocity set to MIDI 109, MIDI controller 109 continually sets the arpeggiator
velocity. is works well when MIDI controller 109 is set to a continuous controller.
With Velocity set to Fixed, all notes play with the same velocity. e default Fixed velocity
is 100. In Multi Mode, you can control this velocity amount in real-time by assigning a
controller to destination 175 VelFixed.
When you select Pattern, the VelocityPat parameter will appear, allowing you to select a
preset or user dened velocity pattern. See VelocityPat below for details.
e Velocity Modes Human1 through Human4 randomly change played note velocity
within a range in order to make arpeggiation sound more human like, with each note varying
slightly in velocity. e Human settings use the velocity received from the rst note played as
the center of the randomization range. Each note of the arpeggiator will randomly choose a
velocity within the given range. (See the table below for velocity ranges.)
