RPG-8 ARPEGGIATOR
(RECORD+REASON)

Insert buttons
Insert can be used to add variations to the arpeggio by repeating certain notes in a predetermined order. It works as
follows:
Rate
This sets the rate of the arpeggio. There are two basic modes for the Rate parameter:
D If Sync is activated, the Arpeggiator will play in sync with the sequencer tempo. By changing the Rate you can
make the Arpeggiator play in different tempo resolutions in relation to the tempo setting.
Straight, dotted or triplet note values are available in 1/2 to 1/16 resolutions. In addition, there are also 1/32, 1/
64 and 1/128 (straight) note resolutions.
D If the “Free” button is activated, the arpeggio rate is free running, and not synced to tempo.
The Rate is then selectable from 0.1 to 250Hz.
Gate Length
This determines the length of the arpeggio notes. Minimum value is 0 (Gate closed - no output). Maximum value is
“Tie”, meaning the gate is open all the time. This parameter can be controlled via CV.
Single Note Repeat
Single Note repeat governs how the arpeggiator behaves when the user plays single keys or monophonic lines.
D When Single Note Repeat is on, a single key will retrigger the gate, meaning the note will repeat.
If the Octave setting is 1 Oct, the note will simply repeat (given the Gate Length setting is not set to “Tie”). If the
Octave setting is set to anything else, the note will repeat according to the Octave, Mode and Insert settings.
D When this is off, single notes will not repeat and RPG-8 will play arpeggios when the user plays more than one
key (chords).
