Arpeggiator Pot Controls
When you hold the Shift button the pots can transform your arpeggios.
Tempo – This pot speeds up or slows down your arpeggio relative to the Arp Rate. Using Launchkey
as a standalone controller, this tempo ranges from 60 BPM to 187 BPM. However, when synced with
Ableton Live, this pot will have no effect.
Swing – This pot sets the amount every other note is delayed, resulting in a swung rhythm. To change
the Arpeggiator’s Swing, hold the Arp button, and turn the pot labelled Swing. By default (centre
position), swing will be set to 0% (meaning no swing), with extremes of 80% (very swung) and -80%
(negative swing). Negative swing means every other note is rushed, instead of delayed.
Gate – Adjusting this pot creates longer or shorter MIDI notes, resulting in either a more ‘staccato’
arpeggio, or a more fluid, ‘legato’ one. This pot goes from 0% to 200% of the space between notes.
For notes have swing applied, both notes retain the same gate length.
Mutate – After you select Mutate as the Arp Mode, hold the Shift button and turn this pot to add
variation to your arpeggio. A new ‘mutation’ occurs with each turn of the pot. When you stop turning
the pot notes are set and will repeat indefinitely.
Deviate – After selecting Deviate as your Arp Rhythm, turn this pot to make rhythmic variations. With
every turn of this pot, you’ll create a different pattern of rests.
Note: the pots will also control arp functions with Arp Control Lock active.
