7.4 Arp Overview
Synth’s arpeggiator can loop a series of individual notes taken from a
played chord or collection of notes into an arpeggio. Several parameter
options are used to control the Arp behavior. The Arp is found on Page 2

Rests, smaller, dimmed steps
Each note is represented by the central
dots, minimum of 1. Groove will determine
notes / rest sequence.
7.5 Using the Arpeggiator
The Arp does not record notes, but breaks a chord or note group down into
discrete patterns while being played. The arpeggio pattern generated will
be based on the parameter conguration.

Type
Playing a chord will generate an arpeggio. How this behaves
depends on the parameters, starting with the ‘Type’ which determines
the direction and sequence of notes and ‘Groove’ for notes and rests.
