Autohold is similar to Auto. Holding at least one arpeggiated note on and playing other
notes latches those notes. Unlike in Auto mode, if you stop holding at least one arpeggiated
note on, the arpeggiation continues playing (although you can’t latch any more notes). In
this case, if you strike another key within the arpeggiation range, you start a new arpeggiation
sequence. Autohold is useful for arpeggiating chords: when you play a chord, it gets latched,
and continues arpeggiating after you release the chord. When you play another chord, the
previous chord gets unlatched, and the new one gets latched. You can use the front panel
ARP button to stop arpeggiation at any time.
1NoteAuto is similar to Autohold, except only the last note played is latched (even if
previously played notes are still being held). 1NoteAuto is specically designed for use with
Shift Patterns (see “Shift Pattern” on page 3-18) because Shift Patterns are designed to be
played from one note at a time (though you can use 1NoteAuto without a Shift Pattern
as well). Using 1NoteAuto ensures that Shift Patterns will sound correct by only allowing
one note at a time to trigger the pattern. You can use the ARP button in the front panel
ARPEGGIATOR section to stop arpeggiation at any time.
1NoteAutoLow and 1NoteAutoHi are also designed for use with Shift Patterns. ey work
similarly to 1NoteAuto, except 1NoteAutoLow always latches the lowest note when holding
multiple notes, and 1NoteAutoHi always latches the highest note when holding multiple
notes. You can also use these latch types without a Shift Pattern if desired. You can use the
ARP button in the front panel ARPEGGIATOR section to stop arpeggiation at any time.
Limit Option
is parameter determines what the Arpeggiator does when it has shifted the currently
arpeggiated notes up (or down) to the value set by the Shift Limit parameter.
Stop causes the Arpeggiator to stop when it reaches the shift limit.
Reset causes the Arpeggiator to return to its original pitch and repeat the cycle of notes.
Unipolar means that after a note reaches the shift limit, the note is shifted in the opposite
direction, until it reaches the original pitch, where it reverses direction again. If Shift Amount
is set to a positive value, a note will never be shifted below it’s original pitch. If Shift Amount
is set to a negative value, a note will never be shifted above it’s original pitch.
Bipolar means that after a note reaches the shift limit, the note is shifted in the opposite
direction, until it reaches the shift limit in the opposite direction, where it reverses again.
FloatRst (oat reset) means that when the Arpeggiator reaches the shift limit, it looks at the
rst note that would exceed the shift limit, and calculates the interval between that note and
the shift limit. It then restarts the cycle of latched notes, transposing the entire cycle by the
interval it just calculated, then shifting each subsequent cycle by the value of Shift Amount,
until it reaches the shift limit again.
