Arturia MiniBrute User's Manual 37 6 Legal notes
 Off disables the arpeggiator, and the MiniBrute synthesizer is in “normal”
operation mode.
 On activates the arpeggiator as long as keys are pressed down. In this case,
the arpeggiator repeatedly plays the notes in a sequence that corresponds
to the pitch order in which the keys were pressed. The played pattern can
also be modified by the other arpeggiator controls (Octave, Mode, Swing
and Variation knobs).
 The Hold mode allows recording/playing back a sequence of notes without
needing to keep the key held down. The arpeggiator plays the pattern
repeatedly until you either press a new key or return the switch to the On or
Off positions. By default, all notes are pitch-sorted; however the Hold mode
can be toggled in a time-sorted notes mode through the MiniBrute
Connection software (see chapter for further details). In this mode, by
holding down the first note pressed and then adding other notes (or even
the same ones several times), you can build looped melodic sequences (up
to 16 notes).
4.2.7.2 Octave
The Octave knob determines the arpeggiator’s transposition range, from one to
four octaves.
4.2.7.3 Mode
The Mode switch chooses how the pool of arpeggiated notes will be sorted with
respect to playing order:
 Up ...... sorts the pool by ascending pitch.
 Down .. sorts the pool by descending pitch.
 Up/Dwn first plays the pool in Up mode, then Down mode. The first and
last notes repeat.
 Rndm .. picks notes randomly from the pool.
4.2.7.4 Swing
The Swing switch sets the swing amount applied to every even note in the
arpeggio, from a strictly “mechanical” groove to one that’s totally “off-the-
tempo.” 6 positions are selectable, with swing values varying from 50% (position 1)
to 75% (position 6).
4.2.7.5 Step
The step selector defines the tempo subdivisions to be used:
 1/4 ...... quarter note, or one note on each step
 1/8 ...... eighth note, or 2 notes per step
 1/16 .... sixteenth note, or 4 notes per steps
 1/4T..... quarter note (triplet), or 3 notes per 2 steps
