THE MIDI SEQUENCER
115
• OFF will send out a MIDI note off message before the start of each arpeggiated
note.
MODE activates the arpeggiator and controls how the arpeggiated notes will be sorted.
• OFF will deactivate the arpeggiator.
• TRUE will play the notes in the same order as they were inserted.
• UP will play the notes in an ascending order, from the lowest note to the highest, on
a per octave basis.
• DOWN will play the notes in a descending order, from the highest note to the low-
est, on a per octave basis.
• CYCL will play the notes first in an ascending order, then in an descending order.
• SHFL will play the notes randomly on an octave range basis. If the arpeggio for
example has a RNGE setting of 2OCT, the notes of the first octave range will be
played randomly and once all notes have been played, all the notes of the second
octave will be played in a new random order.
• RANDOM will randomize the playback of the arpeggiated notes.
SPD sets the speed of the arpeggiator. It is synchronized to the BPM of the project. A set-
ting of 6 equals 16th notes, a setting of 12 equals 8th notes and so on.
RNGE sets the octave range of the arpeggiator. After each finished arpeggiator cycle the
arpeggiated notes will be transposed one octave up. When the notes has reached the
octave offset specified by the RNGE setting the notes will be reset to their inital values.
From there the octave transpose will be started all over again.
NLEN controls the length of the arpeggiated notes.
ARPEGGIATOR SETUP
Here the length, the note progression and the scale of the arpeggio are set.
While in this menu lit LEDs reflect the length of the arpeggio. An arpeggio can be
up to 16 steps and the length is set by the C knob. When turning the knob the
LEDs will change accordingly to reflect the length. Active arpeggiator steps are indicated
by green LEDs. Arpeggiator steps can be deactivated by pressing the correspond-
ing [TRIG] keys. Deactivated arpeggiator steps are indicated by red LEDs.
Note offsets to the arpeggio can be inserted by pressing a [TRIG] key and turning the
LEVEL knob or pressing the [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys. By pressing several [TRIG] keys
