You can save your current settings as an Arp Preset by pressing the ARPSAV soft button. If
you select a different Arp Preset before saving your current Arpeggiator settings, the current
Arpeggiator settings will be replaced by the settings from the preset without showing a
warning. Be sure to save your settings as an Arp Preset if you want to be able to recall them
after making additional changes. Even if you don’t save the current Arpeggiator settings as an
Arp Preset, the most recent settings will always be saved with the Program or Multi when the
Program or Multi is saved. Changing any of the Arp parameters will change the Preset to “0
Edited Arp”, to indicate that the previous preset settings are no longer being used.
State
Use the State parameter to turn the Arpeggiator On or Off. See
for an easy way to control the arpeggiator State in Program and Multi Mode. In a Multi, this
parameter can also be switched on using Controller destination 147 (ArpOn) and switched
off using Controller destination 148 (ArpOff).
Arp Mode
The two Arpeggiator modes, Classic and Step Sequencer, offer different means of shaping and
editing Arpeggiator patterns. Depending upon this mode, the ARP page will provide access
to different options and editable patterns.
In Classic mode, the ARP page will offer algorithmic options, as well as independent note-
Shift, Velocity and Duration patterns. These patterns are editable when the global
is set to Advanced. See
Arpeggiator Classic Mode Parameters on page 7-61
Classic mode parameters.
In Step Sequencer mode, you can edit sequences step-by-step, specifying Note, Velocity,
Duration and Beat for each step in a sequence. See
Arpeggiator Step Sequencer Mode
for details on Step Sequencer mode parameters.
Arp Mode can also be set to Off. In Multi Mode, set the Arp Mode to Off for any Zones
which you don’t want to control with the ARP ON and LATCH soft buttons (see
for details).
Tempo
The Tempo parameter specifies the arpeggiator tempo in beats-per-minute. If a specific
Arpeggiator tempo is saved with an Arp Preset, the Global tempo will be set to that value
when the preset is selected.
When arp Tempo is set to System, the arpeggiator will use the value set on the TEMPO
page in Global Mode (see
for details). For quick access to the
Global TEMPO page from any other page, press the left and right navigation buttons
simultaneously.
