ON-OFF/RATE
This switch prepares the arpeggiator for new notes. When pressed, the
previous latched arpeggiation (sequence) is erased, and the LCD shows
the current rate. Whenever this main display appears in the LCD, the slider
controls the rate from 1-99, or for external clocking.
Each program has its own programmed arpeggiator rate. As with any program
parameter, the rate must be stored with a program for it to be retained in
memory for future use.
Of course, no notes are arpeggiated until some keys are played, so unless you
happen to know that the programmed rate is suitable, you will want to adjust
the rate as you play.
If you select any other program parameters while the arpegiator is running, to
return to the "rate" display (without stopping the arpeggiator), press Enter.
The rate is variable over a range determined by the CLOCKS/STEP option.
The VS is shipped with CLOCKS/STEP set to 6 when shipped from the factory.
This provides for easy interfacing with most MIDI clocking devices (drum
machines, sequencers). The arpeggiator's rate ranges from A to 70 steps per
second.
Note that if the arpeggiator rate has been programmed to a low value, the
keyboard will appear to respond very slowly to playing.
LATCH/TRANSPOSE
This is used to latch an arpeggiation. Once latched, the notes are remembered
when power is switched o. Latch/Transpose is also used to start playback
of the last latched sequence.
1. To manually "latch" the arpeggiator, hold keys and press Latch/Transpose or
the AUX foots witch, then release keys.
2. To switch o, press On-O/Rate.
If Auto Latch or Extend arpeggiator transpose modes have been programmed
on, holding a key or keys for one complete loop of the arpeggiator sequence
is sucient to latch the key. Autolatch sequences are created and ended by
holding one key. Extend sequences accept up to about 120 notes, until the
arpeggiator is switched o.
Once a sequence has been latched, it is possible to create a second sequence
if the LAYER option is on (see below).
Latch/Transpose can not latch an overdubbed arpeggiation (“layer”). These
can only be latched automatically in Autolatch or Extend arpeggiator modes
(see ARPEGGIATOR OPTIONS).
