Arpeggiator

The settings related to the arpeggiator are the follow-

ing: AR (ARP RANGE), AD (ARP DIRECTION) and AP (ARP
PATTERN).

The arpeggiator is enabled when the range is

set to a non-zero value.

C/

and control respectively the clock division and

gate length of the arpeggiator and sequencer.
While an arpeggio is running, hold START/STOP for one

second to latch the arpeggio. Press again to unlatch.

This trick can also be used to latch a non-arpeggiated

note.
Set

to a value different from

zero and play with EF / ER to replace the arpeggiator

pattern by an euclidean rhythm.

Built-in digital oscillator

A digital oscillator can be output on CV4 (in 1M mode),

CV3/CV4 (in 2M, 2P modes), or on CV outputs 1/2/3/4 (in

4M, 4P modes). Select the waveform in the

setting - OFF disables it.

The digital oscillator provides sawtooth, triangle, sine,

square and pulse waveforms.

Note sequencer

Each part can store a sequence of up to 64 notes. Se-

quences are recorded step by step.

1. Press REC. When a multi-timbral layout is used, you

are prompted to select a part number with the

encoder - click to confirm.

2. The display now indicates the step number.
3. Play a note on the MIDI input device to add it to the

sequence.

OR

3. Click the encoder and select a note on the display.

Click the encoder to confirm.

OR

3. Press either TIE or REST to insert a tie or rest.
4. When you have recorded all steps, press REC to leave

the recording mode.

In case of mistake, use the encoder to go back to the

previous steps.
The start/stop button controls the playback. While a

sequence is playing:

Incoming MIDI notes transpose the sequence.

REC can be pressed to re-record notes/steps on the

fly, while the sequence keeps running.

Saving and recalling setups

8 memory slots are available. Press the encoder for a

second to display the load/save menu. When this menu

is shown, the display pulsates.
Select +S(AVE)+ and click the encoder to save the current

settings into one of the 8 programs. Select “--” to can-

cel.
Select

and click the encoder to select the

number of the program you want to load. Select “--” to

cancel.
Select +E(XIT)+ to leave the LOAD/SAVE menu.
Refer to the online manual for the other commands

(SysEx transfer, calibration).
Memory slot 1 is always reloaded when the module

starts. It is recommended to frequently save your set-

tings there.
