Element Description
TYPE (Knob 2) Sets the sequential order of the arpeggiated notes. You can choose from
following settings:
Up starts from the root note and plays the notes up through the chord.
Down plays the notes the other way around.
Up & Down plays the notes in both directions alternatively.
Order Played plays the notes in the order you pressed down the
corresponding pads. If you have configured chords, the arpeggio will first
play all notes of the chord triggered by the first pad you pressed, then all
notes of the chord triggered by the second pad you pressed, etc.
Chord plays all notes of the chord together repeatedly.
RATE (Knob 3) Adjusts the note length, hence the rate of the arpeggio. Available values
are 1 BAR and a series of note values going from 1/2 (half note) until
1/128 (a hundred twenty-eighth note).
UNIT (Knob 4) Selects from three variations of the original note length defined by the
RATE parameter: NORMAL plays the original note length (default setting),
TRIPLET plays triplets of the original note length (faster, three notes in the
duration of two original notes), and DOTTED plays dotted versions of the
original note length (slower, two notes in the duration of three original
notes). Under Button 5–8, triplet values are indicated by a “ T ” and dotted
values by a “ D ” next to the note value.
SEQUENCE
(Knob 5)
Allows you to add interesting rhythms to your arpeggiated notes. Select
one of eight different sequences and apply it to the arpeggio you are
playing. Select Off to use the default regular sequence.
OCTAVES
(Knob 6)
Adjusts the spread of the arpeggiated sequence. You can choose to play
back your sequence within the octave of the pads you pressed, or you can
select up to eight octaves and let the notes of your chord (or the single
note of your pad) be played back in as many octaves.
DYNAMIC
(Knob 7)
Amplifies or reduces the velocity derived from the pressure you apply on
every pad you hold (Polyphonic Aftertouch). Available values range from
1% to 200% . This setting applies globally to all rate presets.
GATE (Knob 8) Adjusts the ratio between the duration of the notes and the duration of
the silences between them, measured as a percentage of the note value
set by RATE (see above). Available values range from 0% to 200% : At low
values the notes are very short. At 50% notes and silences are equal. At
100% (midcourse) each note last exactly until the next note is triggered.
At higher values notes overlap (provided that the selected Sound is
polyphonic). This setting applies globally to all rate presets.
