Erasing Notes
When
erasing notes
, the notes effectively deleted vary with the Chord Mode currently selected:
• If Chord Mode is set to Off, the notes with the pitch corresponding to the pressed pad are
deleted.
• If Chord Mode is set to Harmonizer, only the notes with the pitch of the pressed pad are deleted.
The other notes in the triggered chord are
not
deleted.
• If Chord Mode is set to Chord Set, no notes are deleted, in other words erasing is disabled.
11.3.6. Creating Arpeggios
MASCHINE+ includes a flexible and versatile Arp engine, an arpeggiator that effectively lets you
play your Sounds in note sequences. The arpeggios are created according to both the pads you
hold and the chords configured with the Scale and Chord engine.
If you have enabled chords, you can even press more than one pad to include the notes of
all corresponding chords into your arpeggio!
Like the Scale and Chord engine, the Arp engine is dedicated to Keyboard mode. The Arp engine
can be seen as a melodic extension of the Note Repeat: Actually, Arp replaces and extends Note
Repeat in Keyboard mode. Instead of playing repeated notes at a constant pitch, you can play
sequences of notes at different pitches. Depending on whether your pads are in Pad Mode or
Keyboard mode, pressing
NOTE REPEAT
will switch to Note Repeat mode or Arp mode. Arp mode
simply adds a few parameters to those found in Note Repeat mode.
General Notes on the Note Repeat and Arp Engine
• The Note Repeat / Arp parameters are the same for all Sound slots in all Groups of your Project.
These parameters are saved with the Project.
• The Note Repeat / Arp engine processes live input from the pads. MIDI Input and data recorded
in the Pattern Editor are not processed by the Scale and Chord engine.
