Step miscellaneous step data
This parameter can have a pronounced effect on the
resulting arpeggio, so you should read the following
paragraphs carefully. Arp Step basically determines
which note of the note list is played at a particular step.
You can also force the Arpeggiator to play a whole chord
or part of a chord or set it up to play a random note from
the list.
•
If • normal is selected, the Arpeggiator plays the
step unaltered. The note list is advanced
beforehand, except when you press a new chord.
•
If o pause is selected, the Arpeggiator plays
nothing at this step position. When Length is set
to legato, the previous step that isn’t set to pause is
still held to create the legato effect. The note list is
not advanced.
• If previous is selected, the Arpeggiator plays the
same note as it had to play in the previous step
that was set to • normal or ? random. With this
setting, you can repeat a particular note of the note
list several times. The note list is not advanced.
• If  first is selected, the Arpeggiator plays the very
first note of the note list. This might be interesting
if you want to only play the "root note" of a chord
in a bass sound. The note list is not advanced.
•
If  last is selected, the Arpeggiator plays the very
last note of the note list. The note list is not
advanced.
• If  first+last is selected, the Arpeggiator plays
a chord with two notes, the first and the last one of
the note list. This means that you have to play at
least two notes to hear the effect. Otherwise, you
would hear only one note anyway. The note list is
not advanced.
•
If ı chord is selected, the Arpeggiator plays a
chord with all notes from the note list. This means
that you have to play at least two notes to hear the
effect. The note list is not advanced.
• If ? random is selected, the Arpeggiator plays a
random note from the note list. This doesn’t mean
that it creates a note randomly; instead it uses one
note of the existing note list. The note list is not
advanced.
Accent miscellaneous step data
Sets the accent of a particular step. This accent is
interpreted as a velocity offset that is added or subtracted
