Arpeggiator Panel Controls (con’t):

ON/OFF:
Sets the arpeggiator ON/OFF condition. When ON, the Arpeggiator creates patterns of notes based on
the Order, Pattern, Octave and Latch parameter settings, plus any applicable Advanced Preset settings. If
the TRANSPOSE/PGM footswitch is programmed to control ‘ARP ON/OFF’, that footswitch can be used
to toggle the Arpeggiator function ON and OFF.

When the Arpeggiator is ON, an ‘A’ appears in the bottom line of the display:

NOTE: “ARP RATE’ is part of the Advanced Presets menu parameters. When activated by
the ‘hot key’ combination, however, ARP RATE becomes an actve parameter that can be
dynamically controlled with the CONTROL footwheel and stored for later recall. This option
allows you to adjust the Arp Rate parameter in a live performance situation.

LATCH:
Sets the arpeggiator Latch ON/OFF condition. When the arpeggiator is ON and the Latch is OFF, the
arpeggiator outputs notes only when notes are being played. If Note Latch is ON then the arpeggiator
can be started by pressing a note and then stopped by pressing that note again.

When the arpeggiator is ON and the Latch is ON, the arpeggiator runs when a pedal is pressed and con-
tinue after that pedal is released until the Latch is turned OFF. The notes the arpeggiator plays are based
on the note stack. If Note Latch is OFF, then the note stack only has one note in it. If Note Latch is ON,
then each new note played is added to the note stack.

When the Latch is ON, an ‘L’ replaces the ‘A’ on the bottom line of the display:

ARP RATE (ON/OFF + LATCH)
Selects the ARP RATE parameter, which allows you to adjust the arpeggiator rate using the CONTROL
footwheel. This parameter is accessed by pressing the ARP ON/OFF and LATCH switches simultane-
ously. When this ‘hot key’ combination is activated, both the ON/OFF and LATCH panel switches will
be illuminated simultaneously and ‘ARP RATE: XXXX’ will appear on the bottom line of the LCD display:

Arppegiator Rate will remain as the active parameter until a new parameter or a new preset is selected.
