ARPEGGIATOR SECTION (CONTINUED)
BACK / FORTH
When the BACK / FORTH button is illuminated the arpeggiator will play the UP or DWN patterns in a
bi-directional fashion, making UP play up then down, and making DWN play down then up.
For example, if you choose the UP pattern without the BACK / FORTH button and hold C-E-G, you’ll
get C-E-G-C-E-G etc. But, if the BACK / FORTH button is lit you’ll get C-E-G-E-C. If the PATTERN
switch is set to ORDR the arpeggiator will play notes in order and then in reverse order. The
BACK /FORTH setting has no effect on the RND pattern.
NOTE: There is a parameter in the PRESET EDIT MENU (Page 39) called END NOTES that determines if
the beginning and ending notes of the arpeggiation are played once (ONCE) or twice (TWICE) when they
change direction. For example, if you’re arpeggiating C-E-G using the UP Pattern with the BACK / FORTH
button lit, you get C-E-G-E-C etc. if you choose ONCE. If you choose TWICE you’ll get C-E-G-G-E-C-C etc.
INVERT
When the INVERT button is lit the arpeggiator will play each note in two or three successive octaves
before moving to the next note. If the RANGE parameter is set to +1 with INVERT lit, and you hold
C-E-G, you will get C, C up one octave, E, E up one octave, G, and G up one octave. Because this
function is octave based, the INVERT button will have no effect if the arpeggiation RANGE is set to 0.
PATTERN
Use the PATTERN knob to choose the manner in which notes are played back by the Sub 37
arpeggiator. When UP is selected, held notes will play back in order of pitch from lowest to highest.
When DWN is selected, held notes will play back in order of pitch from highest to lowest. When ORDR
is selected, held notes will play back in the order they were held. When RND is selected, held notes
will play back in a completely random order.
You can also use the PATTERN knob to select the SUB 37’s built-in Step Sequencer. If the arpeggiator
is not running, setting the PAT TERN knob to REC and playing a new note will clear any existing
sequencer data. This allows you to record a new Step Sequence containing up to 64 notes. If you
turned the PATTERN knob to REC by mistake, that’s okay. Simply turn it back to the desired position
and your original sequence will still be there. Learn more about the step sequencer on page 17.
ON / REST
The ON button is used to engage or disengage the arpeggiator, allowing you to pre-set the arpeggiator and
then turn it on as needed. When in Step Sequence Record mode, the ON button becomes REST. Pressing the
REST button will advance to the sequencer to the next step and add a silent REST to your Sequence.
LATCH / TIE
When ON, the LATCH button allows the Sub 37 to continue playing an arpeggio or sequence even after
all the keys have been released. When in Step Sequence Record mode, pressing the L ATCH button
becomes TIE, which will connect your previous note to the next note you play without advancing to
the next step in a sequence.
