• Rand: Notes play in random order
• All: All notes play at once (useful when repeat is on)
Vel (
+
1)
Velocity values of the arpeggiated notes.
• 1 to 127: Fixed velocities,
• Orig: the velocities of the recorded notes are retained,
• Rand: random velocities between 1 and the original value.

3)
This is where you can define the pitch range (between C-2 and G8) for the chord
arpeggiation. Any chord notes outside this range are passed directly to the output. This
is useful when you want to solo above, or play a bass line below an arpeggiated chord.
Res (

4)
This is where you set the rhythmic note value (the speed in note divisions) of the
arpeggio via a pull-down menu. None = arpeggiator switched off.
Len (
+
5)
This is where you define the length of the arpeggiated notes. The Orig setting retains
the lengths of recorded notes.
Snap to (

6)
Unless this value is set to None, the arpeggiator will wait for Logic’s transport to reach
the next indicated note division before starting the arpeggio. This is useful for
rhythmically synchronizing the arpeggio with other MIDI data.
Repeat (
+
7)
On continues the arpeggio for as long as the chord is held down. Off finishes the
arpeggio after one run.
Octaves (
+
8)
The arpeggio can be repeated over 1 to 10 octaves.
Crescendo (

9)
The velocity value set here (
−
99 to
+
99) is added every time the arpeggio is repeated
(provided Repeat is set to On, of course).
Control Base
All 10 parameters of the arpeggiator can be remote-controlled by controller events. The
Control Base parameter determines the controller number for the first parameter
(Direction). The other parameters will be controlled by subsequent controller numbers.
To figure out which controller number will be used for a certain parameter, add the
number shown in brackets (behind the parameter names in this document) to the
Control Base value. When Control Base is set to Off, MIDI control of the arpeggiator is
disabled.
