• It can be useful to turn all envelope trigging off for fast arpeggiato speeds, and
allow the envelopes to give the impression of the arpeggiated chord as one
sound.
• If you are using a trigged LFO for a slow modulation of a parameter it can be use-
ful to turn off LFO Envelope Trigging in the arpeggiator to let the LFO modulate
without being restarted for each note.
• The envelope trigging switches are not available in the MIDI sequencer arpeggia-
tors, as MIDI do not allow for such type of extended control.
ARPEGGIATOR RHYTHM AND OFFSET TRACK
The arpeggiator offers a rhythm and offset track of up to sixteen steps. This can be used to
make rhythmic arpeggiator patterns, one-finger melodies or very wild out-of-control
arpeggiator patterns.
By default the rhythm and offset track is eight steps of length. The LEVEL knob is used for
adjusting the length of the track. The length is indicated by the <TRACK> LED’s being lit
up.
Green LED’s indicate that the arpeggiator is active for the step. Red LED’s will be will mute
out the arpeggiator for that step. Use the [TRIG] keys for switching the steps.
By holding a [TRIG] key and using the [UP] and [DOWN] keys, you can adjust the note off-
sets for the active steps. The current offset is displayed while the [TRIG] key is held in a
small popup-window in the lower left corner of the LCD.
• Given the flexibility of the arpeggiator, you can think of it as a mini-sequencer
within a sequencer. Using different SPD values and lengths of the rhythm and off-
set track can greatly affect the rhythmic structure of a pattern.
TRANSPOSE
Each track of the Monomachine (including the MIDI sequencer tracks) offers transpose set-
tings. Transposing in the Monomachine is made real-time and the pattern data pro-
grammed is not affected.
1. The transpose window is opened by pressing [TRANSPOSE] while holding [FUNC-
TION].
