Element Description
UNIT Selects from three variations of the original note length defined by
the RATE parameter: NORMAL plays the original note length (default
setting), TRIPLET plays triplets of the original note length (faster,
three notes in the duration of two original notes), and DOTTED plays
dotted versions of the original note length (slower, two notes in the
duration of three original notes). Under Button 5–8, triplet values are
indicated by a “T” and dotted values by a “D” next to the note value.
SEQUENCE Allows you to add interesting rhythms to your arpeggiated notes.
Select one of eight different sequences and apply it to the arpeggio
you are playing. Select OFF to use the default regular sequence.
OCTAVES Adjusts the spread of the arpeggiated sequence. You can choose to
play back your sequence within the octave of the pads you pressed
on your controller only, or you can select up to eight octaves and let
the notes of your chord (or the single note of your pad) be played
back in as many octaves.
DYNAMIC Amplifies or reduces the velocity derived from the pressure you apply
on each single pad you hold (Polyphonic Aftertouch). Available
values range from 1% to 200%. This setting applies globally to all
rate presets.
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). 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). This setting applies globally
to all rate presets.
Arp mode seamlessly switches to Note Repeat mode as soon as you switch your pads
from Keyboard mode to Group mode (see above): All current values (including the LOCK
state) are retained.
