77 SOUND PARAMETERS REFERENCE
Octaves
>1 to 4: Notes can be successively transposed up an octave at
the start of each new arpeggio cycle. The value here is equal
to the number of cycles before the arpeggio reverts to its
original pitch – so a value of 1 means no transposition.
Pattern
> User, 2 to 64: Selects the arpeggiator pattern. A “User” pat-
tern can be created for each program using the VirusControl
application (see “VirusControl” on page 145). As well as posi-
tions and lengths, most patterns contain extra velocity data
for added rhythmic effect. To apply velocity data, set the
Velocity parameters (see “Velocity Map” on page 132) or use
the modulation matrix (see “MATRIX” on page 79) with Veloc-
ity as the source. Modulation destination “Arp Pattern”.
Resolution
> 1/128 to 1/2: The Arpeggiator’s rate expressed as a fraction
of a bar in 4/4 time. The minimum rate is therefore one com-
plete arpeggio every 4/4 bar. The standard setting is 1/16 (i.e.
16 beats per bar), and normally does not need to be changed.
The actual rate is determined by the Tempo parameter – see
“Tempo” on page 129.
Note Length
> -64 to +63: Scales the lengths (hold time) of all notes. Nega-
tive values shorten the notes, positive values lengthen them.
The audible effect of this parameter is highly dependant upon
the envelope settings.
Modulation destination “Arp Note Length“.
Swing Factor
> Off, 50.2% to 75.0%: Affects the position (in time) of every
other 16th note. At 66% the rhythm is “full swing” i.e. triplets.
The values 16C, 16D, 16E and 16F are the same as those in
Apple Logic (a popular sequencer program). Note: Swing will
not affect the original “User” Pattern because this is made up
of steady 8th notes only. Modulation destination “Arp Swing“.
