Menu: (various modes)/Arp/Select
Parameter: Active Variation
Value Range: (Not Editable)
Each arpeggiation contains up to four variations. These variations are
labeled “A,” “A Fill,” “B,” and “B Fill.” Only one variation can be playing
at a time and this is known as the “Active Variation.” This parameter lets
you know what the current Active Variation is.
The four variations are completely independent and can be programmed
and recorded however you’d like. However, the Fusion is optimized for
having independent “A” and “B” variations whereas variations “A Fill”
and “B Fill” are intended to be used for fills, or transitions, between the
two variations.
Menu: (various modes)/Arp/Select
Parameter: Latch Type
Value Range: (Not Editable)
“Latching” is a method of letting your arpeggiation play without having
to hold down any notes (or trigger sources). This parameter lets you
know what your current arpeggiation is set to (see “Latch Type” below
for more about this).
