Duration
Duration determines how long each arpeggiated note plays based on the current arpeggiator
Beats value. 100% means that a note sustains until the next one sounds—very legato. 50%
means that the note lls half the space between itself and the next note. e lowest value is
0%—stacattissimo. is parameter has no eect on percussion sounds or other sounds whose
duration is xed.
Duration Patt
When Duration Mode is set to Pattern, the Duration Patt parameter appears, which allows
you to select a step sequence for arpeggiator duration patterns. A Duration Pattern sets the
duration of each arpeggiated note according to a sequenced pattern. Duration Pattern steps
are played back at the rate set for Beats. e duration of each note is a percentage of the
current arpeggiator Beats value. Select a factory pattern, or create a custom user pattern using
the pattern editor (see below for details).
Editing Duration 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 step can have a duration from 0-100% of the current arpeggiator Beats setting. Each
pattern can have up to 48 steps. Pressing the BANK - button removes the last step in the
list, pressing the BANK + button inserts a new note 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 keypad function of the
CATEGORY buttons to enter the duration amount for each step.
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 the EXIT button to return
to the Arpeggiator page.
