Recording Arpeggiation Patterns
Menu: (various modes)/Arp/Pattern/Setup
Parameter: Pattern Type
Value Range: Standard, Phrase Arp and Drum Machine
This parameter lets you select what type of arpeggiation pattern you’d
like this to be. The Fusion supports three different arpeggiation types
and they are outlined below:
Standard “Standard” arpeggiation mode is when you
hold down one or more notes and the
arpeggiator plays a pattern based the notes you
have pressed. This is commonly used when
you want to play an “auto accompaniment” in
a specific key (that you determine by simply
playing a chord for that key).
Phrase “Phrase” arpeggiation is designed to play more
complex phrases in the key of whatever note
that is being held down.
Drum Machine “Drum Machine” setting is similar to the
“Phrase” but has a variety of additional
features that are optimized for the playback of
drum and percussive patterns.
