Octaves
Determines how many octaves the
arpeggiator
plays. For instance if you set octave to 2, then it will play the
pressed notes firstly in the original octave and
then the pressed notes an octave higher. So pressing A4, C4
and E4 in the up mode with octave set to two plays A4, C4, E4 then A5, C5 and E5.

Listen to the presets "SeqArp tie normal"
and "SeqArp tie seq" to see what great things you can do using this
feature.
Host sync
This turns on / off the
arpeggiator
syncing to your host sequencer. Depending on your host and also what
you are doing you may want this to be either
on
or
off
.
Default
is
on
.
Latch
When latching is turned on you don t need to keep a key pressed down for that note to be included in the
arpeggiator
. For instance if you have pressed C4 then released it and then pressed A4 and then released it,
when the latching is on the
arpeggiator
will play C4 and then A4. Turning on / off the latching clears the
arpeggiator
of any notes.
Tip
: you can use also the sustain pedal to Latch and Unlatch the arpeggiator
.
File
If you press this button, you have the option to load or save the
arpeggiator
settings that you have made to
your hard disk. There is already a folder containing some arp patterns.
All settings of the
arpeggiator
are saved and loaded using this function.
The copy and paste function are there to copy a
arpeggiator
setting
into another preset inside the bank. Note
that you always need to save the new preset or the whole bank. The
Clear
function will reset all arpeggiator
parameters to their default setting.
Arp Key Entry on/off
When you press a note it will be entered into
the arp pitch's row at the current step.
C3 (midi 60 ) is set to 0 and the root key. So you should play notes in the key C.
Step length
This controls how long each arp note/step is.
Note that a 100% setting is needed if you use a
tied
step!
Swing
This
controls the swing of the
arpeggiator
, this is the difference in timing between consecutive notes and it
gives a more human/swing feel to the
arpeggiator
.
Slide
Controls the time taken for notes to slide from the previous note s pitch to the current one.
This only applies
to notes which have sliding on in their steps.
Note, always open the slide amount if you use slide in steps.
Vel / keyboard
This controls whether Predator s velocity parameter settings are controlled by the
arpeggiator
sequencer
step set
tings (at 0%) or the pressed key s velocity (at 100%) or a combination of the two values.
Try preset "Arpoharp velocity keyb." and look at the setting. Here the input of the keyboard is in control. The
velocity settings in the steps make no difference.
Als
o try preset "Arpoharp velocity arp" and look at the settings. Here the input of the keyboard has no
influence. The velocity settings of the steps determine the way that Predator responds to velocity. Of course
you can also mix between these two settings.
