H. Arp Octaves
This setting increases the output range of the Arp by octaves. For example, if you set Octaves to 2 the sequence is
played and then immediately repeated one octave higher. Three (3) means the Sequence will be repeated one octave
higher, and then an octave higher still. By default, Octaves is set to 1 but can go as far as 6.
If the arpeggiated notes go out of range, then the Arp will correct the notes to be within the top octave (G#6 to G7).
Octaves interact with Types in a variety of ways. The following scenarios are a good reference when programming
your arpeggios with octaves in mind:
• When Type = Up/Down or Up/Down 2 then the Arp will play up through the full octave range before playing
down.
• When Type = Played then the sequence of notes play in full in the rst octave before repeating in additional
octaves.
• When Type = Random, then the sequence of notes is randomised across the whole octave range, and every
note is picked at random.
• When Type = Chord, additional octaves will cause the held notes to repeat according to the octave setting
in an upwards direction. For example, if Octaves = 3, the held notes will be played as a chord at the pitch, then +1
octave and then +2 octaves, before the pattern repeats.
There will be no duplicated notes when changing this setting.
I. Arp Velocity
Arp note Velocity can be between 1 and 127 (standard for MIDI velocities) or ‘Played’ (default).
When set to Played, the output notes from the arpeggiator will inherit the velocities of the notes you physically played.
When set to a value in the range 1-127, the output notes from the arpeggiator will be played at a xed velocity as
specied by this setting. For example, if set to ’65’, all notes heard will have a velocity value of 65.
J. Arp Length
This option determines the length of the Arp pattern, measured in steps. By default, Arp loops through 16 steps, but
you can opt to make it shorter (from 1 to 15 steps). The ‘Arp Sync Rate’ determines the length of a step (1, 1/2, 1/2
Triplet etc.).
You will see your Pattern on the 8x2 pad area, where each pad represents a single step in the Pattern.
K. Arp Pattern
Finally, the Arp Pattern feature lets you customise the rhythm of your arpeggios. After pressing the Arp button, each
pad will represent a step in the arpeggio pattern. You can then toggle a step on or off by pressing its corresponding
pad, thus altering your pattern’s rhythm. A pad will light brightly when the step is set to play, and dimly when the pad
will not play. A white cursor moves across the pads as the arpeggiator plays.
This resulting rhythm only affects the timing of the played notes and does not change the order in which they are
played.
