▪ If Chord Mode is set to Harmonizer, only the notes with the pitch of the pressed pad are
deleted. The other notes in the triggered chord are not deleted.
▪ If Chord Mode is set to Chord Set, no notes are deleted, in other words erasing is disabled.
5.5.4 Creating Arpeggios and Repeated Notes
MASCHINE 2.2 introduces a flexible and versatile Arp engine, an arpeggiator that effectively
lets you play your Sounds in note sequences. The arpeggios are created according to both the
pads you hold and the chords configured with the Scale and Chord engine (see section ↑5.5.2,
Selecting a Scale and Creating Chords).
If you have enabled chords, you can even press more than one pad to include the notes
of all corresponding chords into your arpeggio!
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 engine already availa-
ble in previous MASCHINE versions: Actually, Arp replaces and extends Note Repeat in Key-
board mode. Instead of playing repeated notes at a constant pitch you can now play sequences
of notes at different pitches.
For a detailed description of Note Repeat, please refer to section 5.2.1 “Note Repeat”
in the MASCHINE 2.0 Manual.
Arp and Note Repeat have similar modes on your controller: Depending on whether your pads
are in Group 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
▪ 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.
▪ 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.
