well (provided that it is set to sync to something else or the first available.) If something to sync
to is already running, DownBeatWait behaves just like DownBeat.
With SyncType set to AnyBeatWait, if there is something playing to sync to, the arpeggiator will
wait for the next beat to start. The difference from AnyBeat is that if there is nothing to sync to,
this arpeggiator will not start. This can be useful if you want to start multiple arpeggiators
synced to something else. You could have a bass arpeggiator set to AnyBeatWait, for instance,
and trigger the arpeggiator while no other arpeggiators are running. As soon as you start
something to sync to, the bass arpeggiator will start playing as well (provided that it is set to
sync to something else or the first available). If another arpeggiator is already running,
AnyBeatWait behaves just like AnyBeat.
With SyncType set to Loop, if there is already a riff or song playing to sync to, the current
arpeggiator will wait for the playing riff or song to restart its loop (if it is looped) before starting
(see Loop on page 7-55 for looping riffs, and Loop on page 10-11 for looping songs.) This way you
can trigger the arpeggiator to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync at the start of the
playing riff or song’s loop (provided that it is set to sync to a riff, song, or the first available).
With SyncType set to Stop, if there is already something playing to sync to, the current
arpeggiator will wait for what is playing to stop before starting. This way you can trigger the
arpeggiator to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync at the release (stopping) of the riff,
arpeggiator, or song that you are syncing to.
With SyncType set to StartWait, if there is nothing playing to sync to, the current arpeggiator
will wait for something it can sync to to begin playing first before starting. This is similar to
DownBeatWait, but it will only trigger the arpeggiator the first time that whatever it is syncing
to starts. This way you can trigger the arpeggiator to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync
at the start of the riff, arpeggiator, or song that you are syncing to. If you stop the arpeggiator
and try to start it again while the thing you are syncing to is already playing, StartWait will not
start the arpeggiator.
With SyncType set to LoopWait, if there is already a riff or song playing to sync to, the current
arpeggiator will wait for the playing riff or song to restart its loop (if it is looped) before starting
(see Loop on page 7-55 for looping riffs, and Loop on page 10-11 for looping songs.) This way you
can trigger the arpeggiator to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync at the start of the
playing riff or song’s loop. The difference from Loop is that if there is nothing playing to sync to,
the arpeggiator will not start. If the riff or song that you are syncing to is already running,
LoopWait behaves just like Loop.
With SyncType set to StopWait, if there is already something playing to sync to, the current
arpeggiator will wait for what is playing to stop before starting. This way you can trigger the
arpeggiator to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync at the release (stopping) of the riff,
arpeggiator, or song that you are syncing to. The difference from Stop is that if there is nothing
playing to sync to, the arpeggiator will not start. This can be useful if you want to get your
arpeggiator ready to sync before you start whatever you are syncing it to. If the riff or song that
you are syncing to is already running, StopWait behaves just like Stop.
Num Beats
This affects the syncing of other arpeggiator or riff zones to the current zone, only if those other
zones have a SyncType setting of Downbeat or DownbeatWait. For zones being synced to the
current zone’s arpeggiator, this determines how many notes must be played by the current
zone’s arpeggiator before a downbeat occurs. By decreasing or increasing the value of the Num
Beats parameter, you can make zones with a SyncType setting of Downbeat or DownbeatWait
behave as if downbeats are occurring less or more frequently.
