Octave Range: 1 Octave, 2 Octaves, 3 Octaves—

Set to 1 Octave, only

the keyed notes are arpeggiated. Set to 2 Octaves, the keyed notes and

the notes one octave above them arpeggiate. Set to 3 Octaves, the keyed

notes and the notes one and two octaves above them arpeggiate.

Repeats: 0…3—

Set to 0, each note in the arpeggio plays once. Set to

1, each note in the arpeggio plays once and then repeats once, which is

a long way of saying each step plays twice. The maximum number of

repeats is 3 (each step plays four times).

Arp Auto Latch: Off, On—

Works in conjunction with h

olD

. When h

olD

and a

rPeggiator

are on and Arp Auto Latch is off, played notes are held

on and arpeggiated, with additional played notes added to the held notes

and the arpeggio.

When Arp Auto Latch and h

olD

are both on, played notes are latched on.

Removing your hands from all keys and then playing an additional note

or notes causes the held notes to be released and the newly played note(s)

to be latched on. As long as at least one key is held, pressing additional

keys will add to the arpeggio.
