Velocity
e Velocity parameter determines how the arpeggiator processes the attack velocity of the
played notes. Select from the following settings:
Constant: All notes play at the velocity of the rst played note.
Played: Each note plays at the velocity which you played.
Human1 through Human4: ese settings randomly change played note velocities within a
range in order to make arpeggiation sound more human like, with each note varying slightly
in velocity. e Human settings use the velocity received from the rst note played as the
center of the randomization range. Each note of the arpeggiator will randomly choose a
velocity within a range, with Human1 having the smallest range, and Human4 having the
largest range.
Chimp1 through Chimp4: ese settings function in a similar fashion to the Human
settings (see above). Like the Human settings, the Chimp settings randomly change played
note velocities within a range, but the Chimp settings have larger randomization ranges.
e Chimp settings use the velocity received from the rst note played as the center of the
randomization range. Each note of the arpeggiator will randomly choose a velocity within a
range, with Chimp1 having the smallest range, and Chimp4 having the largest range.
MissNotes1 through MissNotes9: ese settings make the arpeggiator randomly miss
playing a percentage of inputted notes. With MissNotes1 missing the fewest notes, and
MissNotes9 missing the most notes. Each of these settings also randomly changes some of
the inputted velocities, with the purpose of simulating a more human played sound. e
MissNotes settings use the velocity received from the rst note played as the center of the
velocity randomization range.
Duration
Duration determines how long each arpeggiated note plays, based on the current Beats value.
For example, 100% means that a note sustains until the next one sounds. 50% means that
the note lls half the space between itself and the next note. is parameter has no eect on
percussion sounds or other sounds whose duration is xed.
Shift
e Shift parameter sets how much transposition will occur for each cycle of notes. Setting
Shift to 12 and ShiftLimit to 12 or 24 creates an arpeggio that repeats the same pattern of
notes in dierent octaves.
