17.7. OTHER Parameters
The OTHER parameters Octaves, Dynamic, and Gate allow you to change the range of available
notes for the arpeggiator sequence, as well as their velocity and length.
The OTHER parameters Octaves, Dynamic, and Gate.
17.7.1. OTHER Octaves
The first OTHER parameter, Octaves, is only available in Arp mode. On the keyboard, it is map-
ped to Knob 6 of the Control section in Arp Edit mode. It lets you decide the range of the arpeggia-
tor sequence. You can choose to play back your sequence within the octave of only the keys you
pressed on the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard, or you can select up to eight octaves and let the
corresponding notes of your chord or scale be played back in as many octaves.
Depending on the settings you have made to the Type parameter, the octaves played back can be
above (e.g., Up), below (e.g., Down) or both above and below (Up & Down) the pressed keys.
The Octaves setting includes the following values:
• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
To display the set value of the OCTAVES parameter, tap Knob 6.
17.7.2. OTHER Dynamic
The second OTHER parameter, Dynamic, is only available in Arp mode. On the keyboard it is
mapped to Knob 7 of the Control section in Arp Edit mode. It reads the velocity of the input—e.g.,
a key you pressed on the KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard or an incoming MIDI note from the
host—and scales it by the factor you set with the Dynamic parameter. The scaling is applied per
note. The velocity of each played note is taken and multiplied by the value set with the Dynamic
parameter.
Dynamic is a drag control that lets you set a value between 1.0% and 200.0%.
To display the set value of the DYNAMIC parameter, tap Knob 7.
