Editing Velocity Patterns
You can edit the highlighted pattern by pressing the EDIT button. You can create a new user
pattern by editing an existing pattern and saving it to a user ID.
Each pattern can have up to 48 steps, and each step can shift velocities by ± 127 steps.
You can insert a step with a value of “none” by entering -127 and then shifting down one
more step. A step with the value “none” causes the arpeggiator to play nothing for that step,
allowing you to create rhythmic patterns by using “none” to leave spaces. Pressing STEP-
removes the last step in the list, pressing STEP+ inserts a new velocity step at the end of the
list (the pattern editor remembers the values of removed steps until you save or exit). Use the
navigation buttons to move between pattern steps, use the Alpha Wheel, or Previous-/Next+
buttons to enter the velocity shift amount for each step.
Note: For patterns with negative velocity values, if the velocity of the rst played note is low
enough that a pattern step could result in a velocity of zero, some notes may have a velocity
of zero and therefore produce no sound.
To save an edited pattern, press the front panel Save button to view the save dialog and select
a user ID. You can also rename the pattern if desired. Press DELETE to delete a user pattern
from memory. Press Exit to return to the ARP page.
Duration Mode
Use the Duration Mode parameter to set how the arpeggiator will control the duration
of played notes. When Duration Mode is set to Fixed, the Duration parameter appears
which allows you to set a xed duration that will be applied to all arpeggiated notes. See
the Duration section below for details. When Pattern is selected, the Duration Pattern
parameter will appear, allowing you to select a preset or user dened duration pattern. See
the Duration Pattern section below for details.
