VelocityPat
When VelocityMode is set to Pattern, the VelocityPat parameter appears, which allows you
to select a step sequence for arpeggiator velocity patterns. Each VelocityPat shifts the velocity
of each arpeggiated note according to a sequenced pattern.
ere are many pre programed velocity patterns to choose from, some of which create
rhythms by using velocity values of -127 or “none” to leave rests in the arpeggiation. e
patterns use the velocity received from the rst note played as the center position to shift
velocities up or down from. If no other keys are playing, patterns will start over each time
a key is pressed (there are some exceptions to this when using ARP1 Latch parameters other
than “Standard,” though a newly triggered pattern will always start at step 1.) When triggering
velocity patterns from more than one key at a time, each consecutive step of the pattern shifts
the velocity from a dierent inputted key, the order of which is decided by the Play Order
parameter on the ARP1 page.
Note: For patterns with negative velocity values, if the velocity of the rst played note is
low enough that a pattern step could result in a velocity of zero, some notes may have a
velocity of zero and therefore produce no sound.
Editing Velocity Patterns:
You can edit the included patterns by pressing the Edit button when a pattern is highlighted
in the VelocityPat eld.
