RPG-8 Parameters
MIDI-CV Converter parameters
The MIDI-CV Converter section to the left contains parameters that affect the CV output from the RPG-8, regardless
of whether the Arpeggiator section is activated or not. The following parameters are available:
Velocity
The Velocity knob can be used to set a fixed velocity value for the notes that are output via the Gate CV Out jacks on
the back of the RPG-8. If you set the Velocity knob to a value between “0” and “127”, the Gate CV Out will be fixed
(at the set value) regardless of the velocity of the incoming MIDI notes.
Turning the knob fully to the right activates Manual (“Man.”) mode (a LED is lit when activated). In Manual mode the
velocity levels will be sent out via the Gate CV Out with the same velocity value as they are input, i.e. “what goes in,
will come out”. Manual mode is on by default in new devices.
There is also a “Velocity CV” input at the back. If this is connected to a controller source (a LFO modulation output for
example), the output will be a merge between the Velocity setting and the applied CV modulation by the LFO - see
“CV Inputs”.
Hold On/Off
If the Hold parameter is activated (lit button), an arpeggio will continue to run even if you release all keys. It will con-
tinue to arpeggiate the last notes played until a new note-on is received.
• If you continue to hold down at least one key when Hold is on, any new notes will be added to the existing ar-
peggio as opposed to starting a new arpeggio.
• If the Arpeggiator section is off, and the Hold function is activated, there will be no note-offs for incoming
notes played (i.e. the CV Gate stays open).
• The Hold On/Off status responds to Sustain Pedal messages - as long as the pedal is pressed down, Hold will
stay activated.
Octave Shift
This allows you to transpose the RPG-8 Note CV output in octave steps. You can octave shift up or down 3 octaves.
Octave Shift can also be CV controlled.
