The Arpeggiator

panel switches or switch pedals. When cascading Zones, keep in
mind the Note Duration of your Master Zone will have a great
effect on the Cascaded Zones.
Another thing to note, if you have all three arpeggiator Zones set
to MIDIZn1, not only will the ExpressionMate Arpeggiate the
notes in Zones 2 and 3 it will play them normally if the
MergUnPro parameter is set to Notes. This may not be what you
want, however. To prevent this from happening set the Note Low
Key to a value above the Note High Key in the Controller Editor.
For more info on why this happens see the section on the
MergUnPro parameter on page 81.
Keep in mind you might have to do some transposition in the
Arpeggiator to put things just where you want them. This is
because the Arpeggiator sees the incoming notes after the
ExpressionMateÕs note processing in the Controller section, so
remember that key ranges and transposition in the Controller
Editor affect the ArpeggiatorÕs note input.
Beats (Beats)
Sets the beat division the arpeggiation will be in. This ranges
from whole notes to 1 clock pulse. If you send Ctrl52, you can set
the ExpressionMate to arpeggiate in-between what is selectable
in the Beats window, i.e., just a little longer that a 1/4 note. When
a User Rhythm is selected the beats setting has no effect.
Note Duration (Note Dur)
This sets the length of time a note will sustain. You can set it to
sustain up to 400% of beat value so if your Arpeggiator is playing
1/4 notes, each 1/4 note will sustain for four beats. This can have
a dramatic effect when cascading the Zones. If you are using a
User Rhythm then Note Duration scales durations set in the
Rhythm Editor keeping the character of the Rhythm.
You can also use Ctlr53. A value of 32 is 100% if not using a
rhythm, or no change from programmed durations if using a
rhythm. Higher values lengthen the durations while lower values
shorten them.
