RELATCH
The Arpeggiator menu
Relatch: Off, On—Works in conjunction with hold. When hold and the
arpeggiator are on, and arp relatch is off, played notes are held on and
arpeggiated, with additional played notes added to the held notes and the
arpeggio. When arp relatch is on, played notes are held on and arpeg-
giated, but additional played notes will restart the arpeggio with the new
notes.
Arp Mode: Sets the order in which notes play when the arpeggiator is on. See
the table above.
Octave Range: 1, 2, 3 —Set to 1, only the held notes are arpeggiated.
Set to 2, the held notes and the notes one octave above them arpeggiate.
Set to 3, the held notes and the notes one and two octaves above them
arpeggiate.
Repeats: 1, 2, 3 —Set to 1, each note in the arpeggio plays once. Set to
2, each note in the arpeggio plays twice. Set to 3, each note in the arpeg-
gio plays three times.
Clock Parameters
BPM: 30…250—Sets the tempo for the arpeggiator in BPM (beats per
minute). The tap tempo LED ashes at the BPM rate. When lfo sync is
enabled on the low-frequency oscillator, or clk sync is enabled in the Effects
section, the BPM rate affects the LFO frequency and/or delay effect. When
syncing to an external MIDI clock source, the BPM setting has no effect.
Clock Divide—Selects a basic note value relative to the BPM. See the table
below:
Name Tempo Timing Division
Half BPM/2 Half note
Quarter BPM Quarter note
8th BPM x 2 Eighth note
8 Half BPM x 2 Eighth note, half swing timing
8 Swing BPM x 2 Eighth note, full swing timing
8 Trip BPM x 3 Eighth note triplets
16th BPM x 4 Sixteenth note
16 half BPM x 4 Sixteenth note, half swing timing
16 Swing BPM x 4 Sixteenth note, full swing timing
16 Trip BPM x 6 Sixteenth note triplets
32nd BPM x 8 Thirty-second note
32 Trip BPM x 12 Thirty-second note triplets
