Element Description
Gate Adjusts the ratio between the duration of the notes and the duration
of the silences between them, measured as a percentage of the note
value set by Rate (see above in the RHYTHM section). Available
values range from 0% to 200%: At low values the notes are very
short. At 50% notes and silences are equal. At 100% (midcourse)
each note last exactly until the next note is triggered. At higher
values notes overlap (provided that the selected Sound is
polyphonic).
Lock Keeps the Arp feature enabled even when you leave Arp mode. For
example, this can be useful to adjust the chord settings, switch to
another Pattern, adjust Plug-in parameters, etc., while keeping
arpeggios running.
Hold The Hold function allows you to latch the notes played by the
arpeggiator. When set to On, the arpeggiator will continuously play a
sequence according to the last notes that were pressed.
To stop the arpeggiator playback, set the Hold parameter to Off.
SCALE
Root Note The first SCALE parameter is Root Note. Setting the root note of a
scale means deciding what key the scale will begin with. The
following notes of the scale depend on which scale pattern you select
with the Scale Type parameter. You can transpose any scale pattern
up or down by selecting a different Root Note.
