3.5.6 Latch
Latch lets you use the Arpeggiator without holding down keys. Any notes you press and release
concurrently will form a new arpeggio pattern which the arpeggiator ‘latches’ onto. The arpeggiator
then continues to play as if you never released the keys. When you press a new key, the previous
arpeggio erases and a new one forms.
To turn on Latch, press and hold the Shift button, and then press the Arp button.
3.5.7 Arp Control Lock
Long pressing the Arp button turns on Arp Control Lock and you will be notified on the screen. When
Arp Control Lock mode is on, the Arp controls on the pots and pads are accessible directly without
requiring a Shift press. This is useful for when you want to jam with the arp using only one hand. The
Arp button LED will pulse while Arp Control Lock is turned on. Press the Arp button again to turn off
Arp Control Lock.
Note: The symbols pictured below are reserved for functionality coming to the Launchkey in the
future. Keep an eye out for an upcoming Firmware update that will unlock this functionality.
