Like the Scale and Chord engine, the Arp engine is dedicated to Keyboard mode.
The Arp engine can be seen as a melodic extension of the Note Repeat: Actually, Arp replaces
and extends Note Repeat in Keyboard mode. Instead of playing repeated notes at a constant
pitch you can play sequences of notes at different pitches.
Arp and Note Repeat have similar modes on your controller: Depending on whether your pads
are in Pad Mode or Keyboard mode, pressing NOTE REPEAT on your controller will switch to
Note Repeat mode or Arp mode, respectively. Arp mode simply adds a few parameters to those
found in Note Repeat mode.
General Notes on the Note Repeat and Arp Engine
â–ª The Note Repeat / Arp parameters are the same for all Sound slots in all Groups of your
Project. These parameters are saved with the Project.
â–ª The Note Repeat / Arp engine processes live input from the pads of your controller only.
Input from third-party MIDI controllers and data recorded in the Pattern Editor are not
processed by the Scale and Chord engine.
â–ª The Note Repeat / Arp engine detects and makes use of any changes in the pressure you
apply on each single pad you hold (Polyphonic Aftertouch). This allows you to generate ar-
peggios and repeated notes with varying velocities!
â–ª The output of the Note Repeat / Arp engine is recorded into the Pattern Editor.
â–ª The Note Repeat / Arp parameters cannot be modulated nor automated in MASCHINE.
â–ª You can use Note Repeat and Arp even if the transport is not running: In this case the Note
Repeat / Arp engine will use its own central clock. This clock will be reset as soon as you
start the playback.
KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES owners: The central clock is shared by all connected devices, so
that e.g. repeated notes triggered from your MASCHINE controller and arpeggios triggered from your
KOMPLETE KONTROL S-SERIES keyboard will be synchronized even if the transport is not running.
Pads in Pad Mode: Note Repeat
Check that your Pattern is playing, if not, press PLAY to start the sequencer:
