The Arpeggiator Section/Menu
The Arpeggiator controls allow the Arpeggiator to be turned on and off, latched (by pressing and holding)
and the speed to be set, as follows:
Note that the speed will be overridden by the Arp tempo set in the Sync Menu (see the Sync Menu section
for details) if the Xio is synchronising to MIDI clock (received over USB). The Xio will synchronise
automatically unless the MIDI Clock Sync option is changed in the Synth Global Menu (see the Synth Global
Menu section for details).
The remaining Arpeggiator controls are adjusted in the Arpeggiator Menu. The Arpeggiator Menu is
accessed by pressing the Menus/Audio button (so that the lower LED lights) followed by the button above
‘x-gator/arp’. Pressing this button, alternates between the X-Gator and Arp Menus so make sure you can
see one of the pages below to ensure you are in the correct Menu. Once in the ArpMenu, use the page
up/down buttons next to the LCD screen to cycle through the following pages, using the data encoder to
change the settings for each page:
ARP Mode – sets the Arpeggiator pattern to various up and down combinations (UP, DOWN, UP-DOWN 1,
UP-DOWN 2), as played (PLAYED), randomly (RANDOM) or a chord of any notes pressed (CHORD)
ARP Latch – turns the Arpeggiator latch ON and OFF. Setting to ON makes the Arpeggiator sustain after
a note is pr
essed
ARP Octaves – sets the number of octaves that the arpeggiator spans across from 1 to 4
ARP Pattern – sets the Arpeggiator to play a rhythmic pattern. Choose between 32 options
ARP Pattern Vel – sets the velocity of notes within the Arpeggiator pattern to follow the velocity of notes
being played. Set to OFF to make the Arpeggiator pattern follow preset velocities
ARP Gate Time – sets the gate time (duration) of Arp notes. Set to a small value to make the notes more
staccato. Increase to create a legato effect
ARP Keysync – synchronises the Arp to each note press
ARP Notes – allows the Arpeggiator MIDI data (Note On/Off messages) to be sent to a number of
destinations: INT (Internal Sound Engine), EXT (MIDI Output) or I+E (both)
