8.1.3 ARP ON/OFF SWITCH
• The ON/OFF switch in the ARP/SEQ section turns the ARPEGGIATOR function
ON and OFF. When the ARPEGGIATOR is switched ON and you hold down one
or more keys, the ARPEGGIATOR will start playing. When you release all keys,
the ARPEGGIATOR will stop playing.
Note: The ON/OFF switch only aects the ARPEGGIATOR, it does not aect
the CONTROL SEQUENCER.
• The default ON/OFF setting is OFF.
8.1.4 TAP/HOLD SWITCH
The TAP/HOLD switch has two functions:
• TAP - When you strike the TAP switch successively, the DeepMind 12 will
calculate the Master BPM value from the tempo of your tapping. After 5 taps
the BPM will update to the tempo of your tapping.
The BPM is calculated on an average of the last 5 taps, so you can continue
tapping until you feel the displayed tempo is correct.
Note: If you are using an external sync source, the TAP/HOLD switch will
ash at the rate of the external source.
The supported TAP TEMPO range for both internal and external sources is
from 20.0 to 275.0 BPM
• HOLD - When you press and hold the TAP/HOLD switch for more than 1
second, the switch is illuminated and HOLD mode is active. In this mode
when you press any key it will be held on and the ARPEGGIATOR will continue
playing.
If you press a key and hold it down, you can add other notes to the
ARPEGGIATOR. Once you release all keys the ARPEGGIATOR will continue to
play until you press another key.
Note: The HOLD switch can also be used without the ARPEGGIATOR function.
When the ARPEGGIATOR is o and the HOLD switch is pressed, it will hold
any played notes in their SUSTAIN phase of all ENVELOPEs. This can be useful
during sound design when you want to work on the sustained content of a
program and operate the surface controls with both hands.
To turn HOLD mode o, press and hold the TAP/HOLD switch again for more
than 1 second, the light will turn o, and the HOLD mode will no longer be
active.
The default HOLD setting is OFF.
8.1.5 ARP RATE FADER
• The RATE fader controls the Master BPM RATE of the ARPEGGIATOR. The
Master BPM is also used by the CONTROL SEQUENCER and in any parameters
which can be linked to the Master BPM, such as the LFO, Envelopes, and
some Eect parameters.
• Decreasing the fader value will make the Master BPM RATE slower, and
increasing the value will make it faster as shown below:
• The Master BPM RATE range is from 20.0 to 275.0 BPM, and the default value
is 120.0 BPM.
• The fader position, current value and stored value for the ARP RATE fader is
shown on the PROG screen. There is also a visualization of the ARP RATE as
shown below:
