• If 1ST is selected, only the first incoming note
will be played.
• If RESET is selected, the note index (not the pat-
tern) will be resetted and plays from start with
the first played note.
Time 25% / 50% / 75% / 100%
Changes the length of the note of a particular step. The
overall length of the arpeggio depends on the Step
Duration
setting (100% is the original length of the
step). You can create very nice staccato and legato
effects with this parameter.
Glide OFF / ON
For each step in the arpeggio pattern you can activate
the glide effect individually. This gives you the ability to
create the classic "Bass Line" melody character. Make
sure that you set up a reasonable glide effect with the
Glide Rate
parameter.
• If OFF is selected, the glide effect is disabled for
this step.
• If ON is selected, the glide effect is enabled for
this step. This means that the previous note gli-
des to the note that has to be played at this parti-
cular position in the arpeggio.
The ARP Parameter of the Parameter Matrix
Active OFF / ON / HOLD
This parameter sets the way the Arpeggiator works.
• If OFF is selected, the arpeggiator is not active.
• If ON is selected, the arpeggiator is active. When
you press a note or a chord on the keyboard, it is
split up and repeated rhythmically. As soon as
you release a note, it is removed from the arpeg-
gio rhythm. Conversely, as soon as you add
another note to the existing chord, it is inserted
into the arpeggio. When you release all notes,
the arpeggiator stops.
• If HOLD is selected, the arpeggiator splits up all
played notes and generates a continuous arpeg-
gio even when the chord is released. This gives
you two ways of entering a chord:
• Press all keys of the chord simultaneously.
This is the normal procedure you would
