from the original velocity stored in the note list. However,
the generated velocities can never exceed the maximum
MIDI velocity 127 or minimum MIDI velocity 1. This
means when you have already played notes with a high
velocity, Accent might not be able to further offset them
positively, so you will only hear differences with negative
accent offsets. Conversely, low velocities might not be
able to be lowered by Accent. The only exception is
silent. See the following description:
• If silent is selected, the current step is actually
played, but inaudible. This means that the note list
is advanced by one note, but you are not able to
hear it. This feature is the opposite to Step set to o
pause, which doesn’t generate any note and
therefore doesn’t advance the note list.
• If *1 is selected, the velocity of the current step is
not altered. The arpeggio steps are played back
with their original velocity.
• If Arp Accent is set to any divisor (/4, /3, /2) or
multiplicator (*2, *3, *4) the velocity is raised or
lowered accordingly. For example a played
velocity of 64 generates a final velocity of 32
when set to /2 and 128 when set to *2.
Glide off / on
For each step in the arpeggio pattern you can activate the
glide effect individually. This gives you the ability to
create the classic "Bass Line" melody character. Make sure
that you set up a reasonable glide effect in the Oscillator
Edit menu.
• If off is selected (empty space), the glide effect is
disabled for this step.
• If on is selected, the glide effect is enabled for this
step. This means that the previous note glides to
the note that has to be played at this particular
position in the arpeggio.

must be set to off when you want to set Arp Glide for
individual pattern notes. Otherwise, the glide effect
will occur on all notes.
Timing random / -3...+3
Moves the playback time of a step forward or backward.
Forward means that a step is played later while backward
means that it is played earlier. The overall strength of this
parameter is set by Timing Factor. If Timing Factor is
set to 0, Arp Timing has no effect on the rhythm at all. If
Timing Factor
is set to maximum, Arp Timing can move
