Functionality
•PlaybackMode:
On/off:Enablesthearpeggiator.Settoon,akeyhastobepresseddowntobecomepartofthearpeggio.
Assoonasakeyisreleased,thenoteisdeletedfromthearpeggiopattern.Inotherwords:Onlypressed
downkeysareplayedbackasarpeggio.
•Hold:Inoppositetothe„On“mode,notesarestillplayedback,afterthecorrespondingkeyhasbeen
released.Thenotesaredeletedfromthepattern,assoonastheyareplayedasecondtime.Youcan
picturethisfunctionasa„toggleswitch“.
•Overwrite:Again,thenotesareplayedbackinthesameorder,theyhavebeenplayedonthekeyboard.
Afterthesixthnote(maximumcapacity)hasbeenreached,thearpeggiostartsalloveragain.Thismode
„collects“playedkeys,selectivedeletingofnotesisnotpossible.Ifthearpeggiatorisstopped,thewhole
patternwillbedeleted.
(8) Arpeggiator Sync – intern
DarkEnergy‘sarpeggiatorgeneratesit‘sownclocksignal.ThetempocanbecontrolledviaMIDIModwheel
data.SinceamodwheelcanbefoundonalmosteveryMIDIkeyboard,itisausefulcontrollertosetthe
arpeggiatorstempoinrealtime(seebelow).
(9) Arpeggiator Sync – extern (MIDI clock)
The arpeggiator receives tempodata from an external device via USB/MIDI input. It processes the so called
MIDIrealtimeevents:MIDIStart,Stop,Continue,Clock.Pleasenote:Thearpeggiatorwillonlyrun,when
theseeventsaregeneratedandsendbythemasterMIDIdevice!
ThefollowingrealtimeparameterscanbecontrolledwithseveralMIDIcontrollermessages(Theseparame-
terscannotbesaved.Afterpoweringdown/upDarkEnergy,theywillreturntotheirdefaultsettings).
•Tempo
 -MIDIcontroller1(Modwheel)
 -Valuerange:0–127
 -Value0=Stop
•Gatelength(notelength)
 -MIDIcontroller0
 -Valuerange:0–127
 (DevidestheMIDI-clockvalueorthevalueoftheinternalclock.Devideris1/96.)
•Octave
 -MIDIcontroller0
 -Valuerange:0–6
 (Thepatternwillbetransposedupto7octaves,untilitstartsagainwithnote„one“.)
