7.1 Sequencer & Arp Overview
Synth has a built-in sequencer and arpeggiator per engine slot. The
sequencer page has options to record and playback note patterns and set
the sequencer's behavior. Use the [Seq] button to select the options.
An arpeggiator generates a note pattern by breaking a chord into discrete
notes and then playing these notes in a cyclic pattern. A sequencer is a
function that is used to record a pattern from the notes played. These can
then be played back as a continuous pattern.
The sequencer and ARP parameters govern the pattern playback Behavior.
Only one Arp or Seq function can be applied per synth.
7.2 Sequencer Overview
Synth has a built in sequencer and arpeggiator. The sequencer can record
up to 64 notes and then play back the recorded note patterns. There are
several parameter option which are used to control the sequencer Behavior.
The sequencer is found on Page 3.

Recorded Notes (colour of synth)
The recorded pattern is represented
by the central dots. If no sequence is
present a ‘No Sequence’ message is
displayed.
MIDI Transport:
The Sequencer and Arp are also affected by the tempo or the internal clock. Also the
incoming MIDI Transport settings will determine how external play / stop are handled.
