SPEED/TIMES [0.00…10.00/16…1]
If TEMPO SYNC is OFF, this controls the speed of the
arpeggiator.
If TEMPO SYNC is ON, this multiplies the length of the
BASE NOTE. For instance, if the BASE NOTE is set to a
sixteenth note, and Times is set to 3, each arpeggiator step
will last for a dotted eighth note. Note that higher values
mean a faster arpeggio.
RANGE [1OCT, 2OCT, FULL]
Specifies the range in which the arpeggiator will play the
pattern. FULL plays the pattern over 6 octaves.
MODE [UP/DOWN, DOWN, UP]
Selects the pattern that the arpeggiator will play.
LATCH [Off, On]
Specifies whether the arpeggiator will continue playing even
after note-off occurs.
5–1c: ANALOG
ANALOG [0.00…10.00]
This models the instability of an analog system by adding
subtle randomization to the VCO and VCF frequencies.
This parameter is not modulatable.
5–1d: Parameter Details
This area shows details for the selected knob, including its
parameter group and parameter name, its exact value, and its
AMS assignments.
Individual parameters and AMS
Only the ARPEGGIATOR parameters are modulatable via
AMS; the EXTERNAL MODULATION and ANALOG
knobs, the BASE NOTE parameter, and the TEMPO
SYNC and KEY SYNC switches are not modulatable.
Note that the ARPEGGIATOR affects all voices at once,
and so it cannot be modulated by per-voice AMS sources
such as EGs or LFOs 1 and 2.
(Parameter group)
This shows the group of the parameter (such as
ARPEGGIATOR).
(Parameter name) [range depends on parameter]
This shows the name and exact value of the parameter. You
can edit the parameter value with any of the standard data-
entry controls.

AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects the first modulation source to control the
selected parameter. For a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate
Modulation Source (AMS) List” on page 901.
Intensity [range depends on parameter]
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation. The range is the same as the selected parameter,
in both positive and negative directions. For instance, if the
parameter range is 0.00…10.00, the Intensity range will be -
10.00…+10.00.
Int Mod [List of AMS Sources]
You can modulate the main AMS Intensity from another
AMS source. This selects that source.
For a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate Modulation Source
(AMS) List” on page 901.
Intensity [range depends on parameter]
This controls the depth and direction of the Intensity Mod.
The result is summed with the main AMS Intensity to
produce the final modulation amount.
Multi-position Switches
Multi-position switch parameters, including RANGE and
MODE, have only a single AMS/Intensity pair, as below.
AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects a modulation source to control the selected
parameter. For a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate
Modulation Source (AMS) List” on page 901.
Intensity [range depends on parameter]
This controls the depth and direction of the AMS
modulation. The range is the same as the selected parameter,
in both positive and negative directions.
On/Off Switches
On/off switch parameters, including ARPEGGIATOR
ON/OFF and LATCH, have only a single AMS/Intensity
pair, as below.
AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects a modulation source to control the selected
parameter. For a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate
Modulation Source (AMS) List” on page 901.
AMS Mode [Toggle, Momentary]
This parameter controls the way in which the switch AMS
works.
When this is set to Toggle, the switch will alternate between
on and off. For instance, if LATCH is set to Off, and AMS
is assigned to a footswitch, the first press will cause the
arpeggiator latch to turn on, and the next press will turn it off
again.
Momentary means that the switch value is changed only
while the controller is enabled. Continuing the example from
above, when the footswitch is pressed down, the arpeggiator
latch will turn on; when the footswitch is released, the latch
will turn it off again.
AMS lets you switch to the opposite of the programmed
setting. For instance, if LATCH is set to On, and the AMS
Mode is set to Momentary, then pressing down on the
footswitch would cause the latch to turn off.
If you set AMS to use a continuous controller, such as the
Joystick, values of 0-63 are as if the switch was off, and
values of 64–127 are as if the switch was on.
Finally - note that the assignable switches, SW1 and SW2,
can themselves be set to either momentary or toggle modes,
and these settings are reflected by the switch LEDs.
Individual parameter mode settings, such as the LATCH
AMS Mode, do not affect the LEDs.
So, if you’re using SW1 or SW2 as the AMS source, it’s best
to set the AMS Mode to Momentary, and then just let the
switch itself determine the momentary/toggle behavior.
