ARPEGGIATOR SECTION
The purpose of this parameter is to allow a sequence of notes to be played in exactly the same musical key regardless of where it
has been triggered from the keyboard ( real time transposing can still be used to transpose poly patterns if required ). This is espe-
cially important if the Arpeggiator is being used to trigger drum patterns on an external Drum Machine or Sampler where each drum
sound has a specific note value.
When Constant Pitch is activated, the Arp Poly pattern behaves monophonically, since if a chord was played on the keyboard, it
would be pointless to send several NOTE ONs to the Program / MIDI OUT each with exactly the same note value.
As can be seen the lower parameter is “Output ranging”. In this case with a value of Off.
This parameter applies when Arpeggiators are used in Performance Mode. When set to ‘On’, this parameter checks to see if the
Arpeggiator’s final note value ( taking into account the current ‘octaves’ shift & any ‘real-time’ transposing ) falls within the Part’s
note range parameters. If the final note value falls outside this range, it is not passed on to the Program or MIDI. When Output
Ranging is set to ‘Off’, the final note value will always be passed on to the Program or MIDI. Previous OS Versions always
behaved as if Output Ranging was set to ‘On’. Use the lower Fast Data knob to adjust the value. The range of this parameter is On
& Off. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
When Output Ranging is set to ‘On’, it is possible to obtain interesting Arp pattern variations by adjusting the Part’s range values in
such a way that certain Arpeggiated notes fall outside the Part’s range & are not sounded.
