Sound Parameter
Blofeld User´s Manual 76
play only one single note on a 16 beat rhythm with
lengths set to 1/8.
Note that this parameter only affects notes of the same
pitches. If you want to control the lengths of notes of
different pitches, use the Length or Arrpegiator Length
parameters.
• If on is selected, the Note Off message of the
previous note is allowed to be sent after a Note On
message of the next note with the same pitch. This
setting can be nice with arpeggios triggering
sounds with slow attack.
• If off is selected, the Note Off message of the
previous note is sent right before the next note
with the same pitch is started.
Timing Factor 0...127
Determines how much the Arp Timing parameter affects
an arpeggio step. If Timing Factor is set to 0, the settings
in Arp Timing are completely ignored and the arpeggio is
played back without any shuffled timing. Settings from 1
to 127 increase the shuffling of the notes depending on
the setting in the Arp Timing parameter. Timing Factor
also works on ROM patterns; these are set up with
standard swing rhythm.
Velocity Each Note / First Note / Last Note
/ fix 32 / fix 64 / fix 100 / fix 127
Determines how velocity is interpreted in the arpeggio.
Note that each arpeggio step might have an additional
positive or negative offset set by the Arp Accent
parameter.
• If Each Note is selected, each note of the arpeggio
is played back with the velocity that you originally
played.
• If First Note is selected, the first note you played
sets the velocity for all arpeggio steps.
• If Last Note is selected, the last note you played
sets the velocity for all arpeggio steps.
• If one of the fix values is selected, all notes will be
played with the selected velocity.
Pat. Length 1...16
Sets the length of the rhythm pattern. This parameter is
also valid when Pattern is set to Off or if one of the ROM
patterns is selected. Note that you can only edit a
particular step in the Step Data pages when its position is
within the range of the Pattern Length parameter.
