The

Mode

setting consists of the following two modes:

Arp

mode, which generates arpeggiator sequences based on chords you play on the key-

board, or the output of the Scale engine. With

ARP

switched on and

Mode

set to

Arp

, any

chord you created using the Scale engine will play as an arpeggiated note sequence. In this
case, you only need to press one key on the keyboard to hear the arpeggiated notes play out
according to the selected scale.

Note Repeat

mode, which deactivates the Arpeggiator and instead repeats whichever note

is input until KOMPLETE KONTROL receives a MIDI note-off message. Use the parameters

Rate

,

Swing

, and

Gate

to change the rhythm of the repeats.

16.5.2 MAIN Type

The second

MAIN

parameter,

Type

, is only available in

Arp

mode. On the keyboard, it is map-

ped to Knob 2 of the Control section in Arp Edit mode. It sets the sequential order of the ar-

peggiated notes. Choose whether your arpeggiated chord should be played from the root note
and up, the other way around, or even simultaneously. Selecting

Order Played

will play back

the notes in the order you pressed down the corresponding keys on the KOMPLETE KONTROL
keyboard. Automating the

Type

parameter in the host can create interesting variations and tex-

tures.
