[ Arpeggiator ]
Predator offers a unique and very powerful
arpeggiator
, because it not only offers many features, but it can
be used al
so as a kind of sequencer. This because you have the option to tune a step and to tie a step in two
different ways.
A classic
arpeggiator
(arp) is when, instead of playing all the pressed keys at the same time, it plays them
one after another endlessly.
Next to classic arp modes Predator also offers a chord mode which triggers the played notes as a chord. The
arpeggiator
has a built in sequencer for making rhythmic patterns. Each step of the pattern sequencer offers
