Sequential PROPHET-600 - ARPEGGIATOR; 4-2 ARPEGGIATE UP;DOWN

ARPEGGIATOR
4-G INTRODUCTION
The arpeggiator and sequencer
(see
next section)
are
keyboard memory features
of
great usefulness in performance. Through them you can create automatic
accompaniments
which
free the hands for other uses. The keyboard can be played
normally while either
the arpeggiator or
sequencer
are
on. (They
do
not operate
simultaneously.) The footswitch assumes different functions
according
to the mode of
operation.

MODES
The
Prophet-600 offers
two arpeggiate modes: Up/Down and Assign. Up/Down Mode
sequences between any held
keys according to their
position, from low to high
and
back down. For example, CEGBGECE
G...
Assign
Mode
sequences between
keys according to the order that they are played. For
example,
CGEBCGEB. This
allows the
creation of
intense
riffs,
without
you
having
to actually play them.
The arpeggiate
(and
sequence) rate is controlled by the SPEED knob.
The arpeggiator can be
"latched,"
which
means it continues to play keys even when you
remove your hand(s) from the keyboard.

ARPEGGIATE UP/DOWN
1. Press the ARPEG UP-DN
switch. Its LED will light.
2.
If
only one key
is
held, there
will be no arpeggiating. This allows monophonic lines
to be played
normally, with the
arpeggiator brought, in only when more than one key
is
held down
simultaneously.
3. Adjust the SPEED knob.
4.
If desired, press either the footswitch
or RECORD switch (which will not light) to
latch the keys. You can then remove
your hand(s) and the keys will continue to
arpeggiate.
5. While
the
arpeggiator
is
latched,
you can play along with up to five more keys,
which will'not be
arpeggiated or latched..
6. To stop, switch ARPEG UP-DN
off.
7. To re latch a new set of keys, simply hold them down
and hit the RECORD
switch
or
footswitch again.
