5.3.8. Arp Mode: Up x2
With the Arp mode encoder set to Up x2 the arpeggiator will play the held notes in order
from the bottom to the top. But unlike the Up mode it will play each note twice before the
next note plays.
5.3.9. Arp Mode: Down x2
With the Arp mode encoder set to Dwn x2 the arpeggiator will play the held notes in order
from the top to the bottom. But unlike the Dwn mode it will play each note twice before the
next note plays.
5.3.10. Arp Octaves
You can easily create "arp octaves" from any of the Arp modes described above. To do this,
hold Shift while pressing the Oct+ or Oct- button. Now when you press any keys on the
keyboard, the associated octave will be repeated up or down around the notes that you are
playing. You can even do multi-octave arpeggiations by holding Shift and pressing the Oct+
or Oct- buttons multiple times. Doing so will let you repeat the arpeggiation up or down by
up to four octaves.
You can see if Arp Octave mode is active by holding the Shift key. The Oct+ or Oct- button
will blink if the Arp Octave mode is active. The Arp Octave range is indicated by the blinking
speed of the Oct+ or Oct- buttons (the buttons blink increasingly quickly as the Arp Octave
range is increased).
Arp Mode: Up x2
Arp Mode: Down x2
