Sequential TRIGON-6 - Arpeggiator Beat Sync; Arpeggiator Parameters

Trigon-6 Operation Manual
Arpeggiator
Arpeggiator Beat Sync
is option quantizes keyboard performance of the arpeggiator so that
notes are quantized to the current clock divide setting. Previously, chang-
ing notes or chords on the keyboard during arpeggiator playback would
retrigger notes whether or not the note was played precisely on the beat.
With this option enabled, arpeggiator note playback occurs only on the
beat — regardless of the precision of your playing.
To enable Arpeggiator Beat Sync:
1. Press the globals button twice to activate the lower set of parameters.
2. Press program selector button 9.
3. Use the bank and tens buttons as decrement and increment buttons to
set Beat Sync on or off.
4. Once you’ve chosen the desired setting, press the globals button again
to exit.
Using the Arpeggiator in a Poly-Chained System
As with the Sequencer, in a poly-chained system, the arpeggiator func-
tions nearly the same as it does in a non-poly-chained system. The 6
extra voices are added into the total pool of available voices. Any notes
with long release times are less likely to be cut off as additional notes are
arpeggiated.
An audio signal connected to the rear-panel footswitch - sequence jack can be used
to control arpeggiator (and sequencer) playback. This makes it possible to tempo sync the
arpeggiator to a recorded drum track or other audio source. See “Seq Jack” on page 15
for more information about choosing the appropriate mode for these behaviors.
Arpeggiator Parameters
Tap Tempo—Tapping the tap tempo button sets the tempo from 30 to
250 BPM. The LED ashes at the BPM rate you set. Tap the button at
least 4 times to set the tempo.
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 clock 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.
