Page 5: Arp Octave (Arp Octv)
This setting adds upper octaves to the arp sequence. If Arp
Octave is set to 2, the sequence is played as normal, then
immediately played again an octave higher. Higher values
of Arp Octave extend this process by adding additional
higher octaves. Arp Octave values greater than 1 have the
effect of doubling, tripling, etc., the length of the sequence.
The additional notes added duplicate the complete original
sequence, but octave-shifted. Thus a four-note sequence
played with Arp Octave set to 1, will consist of eight notes
when Arp Octave is set to 2. You can set Arp Octave to 1, 2,
3 or 4.
Page 6: Arp Length (ArpLngth)
This sets the length of the sequence, and has a default
value of 8. Reducing it to a lower value simply reduces the
number of notes in the sequence.
Setting the Arp/Roll Tempo
The tempo for Arp and Roll modes is set in the Tempo page of the Setup menu (see “Tempo”
on page 21). However, it may also be accessed directly by pressing Shift + Roll

; the Roll
LED and drum pad 5 ash in this mode. Alternatively, you can set the tempo ‘manually’, by
tapping a steady beat on drum pad 5. Note that tapping out a tempo in this way is only possible
if Clock Source is set to Internal (see “ Clock Source” on page 21).
Note that by pressing +, you can also access the Clock Source settings menu page from here.
Press Roll again to cancel and return to default display.
