2.8 Using the arpeggiator
The arpeggiator in the Prophecy contains 5 preset patterns (UP, DOWN, ALTl, ALT2, RANDOM)
and
5 user
patterns
(PAT 1-5). For each user
pattern
you
can create
your
own
arpeggio
pattern
of
up
to
24
steps (see
page
34). You
can
also make various settings to customize the preset patterns as well,
such
as
modifying the step interval
and
the velocity
and
length
of
the arpeggio notes, giving you a
wide
variety
of possibilities (see
page
33).
