5. The next display is:
Use the data slider to catalog the various modes.
up = held notes arpeggiate continuously from lowest to highest pitch.
down = held notes arpeggiate continuously from highest to lowest pitch.
up/down = held notes first arpeggiate from lowest to highest pitch, then from highest to lowest,
then repeat this cycle.
fwd assign = held notes arpeggiate continuously in the order in which the keys were pressed.
bkwd assign = held notes arpeggiate continuously in the reverse order in which the keys were
pressed.
random = held notes arpeggiate continuously in a random fashion.
To jump back to the Module Identifier press ENTER, otherwise press the right arrow cursor key to
continue the setup.
6. The next display says:
Use the data slider to catalog the various modes.
off = No latching of notes. When you release your fingers from the keys, arpeggiation stops.
auto = When you release your fingers from the keys, arpeggiation continues. When you press
down new keys, the old notes stop arpeggiating and the new ones arpeggiate instead.
extend = Same as auto, except that new notes are added in with old notes, thus all played notes
arpeggiate.
To jump back to the Module Identifier press ENTER, otherwise press the right arrow cursor key to
continue the setup.
7. To understand the next two menu items, let’s define a couple of terms:
An arpeggio interval
specifies what additional intervals will be played if you play a key. For example,
suppose you played C2 with an interval of 5 (a major fifth) and up mode arpeggiation. Emax would
arpeggiate between C2 and G2.
An arpeggio extension
specifies how many times the interval will be extended. For example, with an
interval of M3 (major third) and an extension of 04 (four times), if you played a C2 with the
arpeggiator in up mode the arpeggiated sequence would consist of C2, E2 (a major third above C2),
G#2 (a major third above E2), C3 (a major third above G#2) and the fourth extension, E3.
