Ctlr#49 and Latch Modes
As explained in the preceding section, to Latch is basically to
grab notes for the Arpeggiator. This section explains how Latch
controller #49 affects the different Latch Modes.
Keys1 - This latch mode can be used with or without the latch
controller (#49). If the latch controller is turned off, then it works
very simply. If you press one or more keys, they will be
arpeggiated. As long as a key is held, it will be included in the
arpeggio. Once you let go of the key, it is no longer arpeggiated.
This means you can play a four note chord and have all four
notes arpeggiated, then let go of one key, it will drop out of the
arpeggio but the remaining three notes will continue to
arpeggiate. If you let go of all keys, then the clock is resynced as
soon as you press a new key.
If you use Ctlr #49 with this mode, then the following applies:
Any keys that you are holding when Ctlr #49 is turned On will
continue to arpeggiate when you let go of the keys. If you then
turn Ctlr #49 Off (after having let go of the keys), all arpeggiation
stops. This feature allows you to start arpeggiating by playing a
chord, step on a pedal assigned to Latch, then let go of the keys
and get ready to play a new chord, then let go of the pedal and
play the new chord to start a new arpeggio. (This assumes the
pedal is set to be a Momentary switch instead of Toggle.)
Any notes played after the Ctlr #49 is turned On will play
normally and not be arpeggiated. This means that if you turn the
latch On before playing any notes, you wonÕt hear any
arpeggiation. This also allows you to start a chord arpeggiating,
turn on the latch, then play a melodic line on top of the arpeggio.
Another feature of this mode is that the note order is reset to the
Þrst note when Ctlr #49 is turned Off. So again, using our
example of a momentary pedal being set to Latch, you can hold a
chord, and then press and release the pedal. Each time you let go
of the pedal, the pattern of the notes will begin from the Þrst note
in the pattern. If you are using one of the Preset or User Rhythms,
this allows you to change the order of notes within the rhythm.
