OCTAVE -10 ··· +1`0 Sets the number of octaves the arpeggio will

arpeggiate the notes actually held. Positive
values transpose the arpeggio up that number
of octaves; negative values transpose the
arpeggio down that number of octaves.

arpeggio: if the
OCTAVE parameter above is set
to 3 , the arpeggio will play three octaves above
and below the chord played.

FORWRD The arpeggio will play notes in order from the
lowest to the highest, and additional octaves (as
set in the
OCTAVE parameter, above) from
lowest to highest.

from the highest to the lowest, and additional
octaves (as set in the
OCTAVE parameter, above)
from highest to lowest.

arpeggio forward then in reverse, including the
end notes twice: once when completing the
forward direction and once when starting the

arpeggio forward then in reverse, but will not
play the end notes twice as in
