17.4. Editing the Arpeggiator
The Arpeggiator’s parameters give you many possibilities to shape your own note sequences.
• To edit the Arpeggiator parameters in the KOMPLETE KONTROL software, click on ARP in
the Perform panel so it is highlighted.
• To enable Arpeggiator Edit mode and map the Arpeggiator parameters to the keyboard’s
Control section, press SHIFT + ARP (Edit).
You can now edit the Arpeggiator parameters on the keyboard’s Control section. Note that
the Arpeggiator Edit mode consists of two pages.
Available Arpeggiator Parameters
• To switch between Arp and Note Repeat mode and change the playback direction of the ar-
peggiator sequence, use the MAIN parameters Mode and Type.
• To create interesting rhythms for the arpeggiator sequence, use the RHYTHM parameters
Rate, Sequence, and Swing.
• To change the range of available notes for the arpeggiator sequence, as well as their velocity
and length, use the OTHER parameters Octaves, Dynamic, and Gate.
• To explore alternative versions of the same arpeggiator sequence, use the ADVANCED param-
eters Retrigger, Repeat, Offset, and Inversion.
• To change the range of keys that trigger the arpeggiator sequence, use the RANGE parame-
ters Min. Key and Max. Key.
• To latch the playback of the arpeggiator sequence, use the HOLD parameter.
17.5. MAIN Parameters
The MAIN parameters Mode and Type allow you to switch between Arp and Note Repeat mode
and change the playback direction of the arpeggiator sequence.
