Arpeggiator
The Prophet 12 has a flexible and full-featured arpeggiator that can be synced to
the LFOs, delay, and external MIDI clock. Particularly complex arpeggios can be
created using split and stack with different arpeggiator settings for layers A and B.
Arpeggiator— Turns the Arpeggiator on and off.
Arp Mode: See table— Sets the order in which notes play when Arpeggiator is on.
Arp Mode Behavior
Up Plays from lowest to highest note
Down Plays from highest to lowest note
Up + Down Plays from lowest to highest and back to lowest
Assign Plays notes in the order the keys were pressed
Random Plays notes randomly
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).
Tap Tempo— Tap the switch to set the tempo from 30 to 250 BPM.
Clock Divide: See table— Sets the note value for each arpeggiator step
relative to the BPM. Clock Divide works with both internal and external clock
sources. The following table lists the Clock Divide values.
