5-2 Octave
Range: 1 - 5
The arpeggio can be copied by up to 5 octaves. The octave parameter is used to
determine if the arpeggio memory is played without octave copy (octave = 1) or with
up to 4 octave copies (octave = 5). If an octave value above 1 is chosen the arpeggio
memory is played and then played again with one octave transposition. This is
repeated up to 4 times (value = 5).
Example: The arpeggio memory contains the notes A3-C4-F4-G4.

5-3 Sync
Range: a - c
a external
b Internal_BPM
c Mod&BPM
a External
In this mode the incoming Midi realtime messages start, stop, continue and clock
are used to control the arpeggiator. The Midi transmitter connected to the Midi input
of the R2M has to send these messages (at least start and clock). Otherwise the
arpeggiator will not work.
b Int_BPM
In this mode the R2M generates it's own arpeggio timing. Start and stop are triggered
by the start/stop button of menu 6. The tempo is adjusted with the up/down buttons in
menu 6 and the BPM value is shown in the display. The LED above the start/stop
button turns on when the arpeggiator is running and turns off when it is stopped. If
this does not happen the arpeggio is off (5-1 a) or external Midi sync control is
selected (5-3 a).
c Mod&BPM
This mode is identically to the previous one but the arpeggio tempo can be controlled
by incoming modulation wheel data (Midi control change #1). This can be very useful
for live performance as most of the Midi keyboards are even equipped with a
modulation wheel.
5-4 Gate length
Range 1 - 127
The gate length determines the relation between Midi clock resp. internal clock and
the arpeggio tempo. The parameter is a dividing factor in relation to the Midi clock
resp. the internal clock. The Midi clock is defined as 96 clocks per measure. To
obtain e.g. an arpeggio with 1/8 measure the gate length has to be set to 12 (96/12 =
