ARPEGGIATOR CLOCK
This parameter determines the basic tempo of the Arpeggiator in reference to the clock generator.
The standard setting is 1/8 and normally doesn’t need to be changed. The actual tempo is deter-
mined by the global clock generator, the speed of which may be varied via CLOCK TEMPO (see the
section on CLOCK TEMPO). Moreover, the clock generator can be synced up to the external MIDI
Clock.
A value of 1/4 halves the speed of the Arpeggiator; 1/16 doubles it. The other CLOCK positions
yield fairly exotic time signatures in reference to the clock generator’s tempo.
ARPEGGIATOR OCTAVES
Controls the ascending transposition of arpeggios by octaves. Control range: 1 to 4 octaves.
ARPEGGIATOR HOLD
When this parameter is activate, the arpeggiator continues to play after you release the keys. Not
until you release all keys and press a new key are the notes that were held up to this point released.
ARPEGGIATOR PATTERN
This parameter selects one of the rhythmic patterns for the Arpeggiator.
ARPEGGIATOR NOTE LENGTH
This parameter changes the lengths of the rhythm patterns’ notes. The center position leaves the
notes at their original length. Positive values lengthen the notes; negative values shorten them rela-
tively to their original lengths.
ARPEGGIATOR SWING
This parameter controls the "swing factor" of the rhythm patterns. Higher SWING values delay the
even-meter or straight sixteenths; that is, every second sixteenth note. This lends the rhythm a
swing feel.
When SWING is set to the lowest value (50%), the interval between the individual sixteenth beats is
identical and the length of an eighth note is divided into two identical beats; in other words, the
rhythm is "binary".
