On entering arpeggio capture mode, this will be set to the step after the last step of the pattern, unless
the pattern is 16 steps long, in which case it will be set to step 1.
There are three soft-key functions in arpeggio capture.
F1 – Clear
The “clear ” soft-key, F1, resets the length of the pattern to 1 step, sets step 1 to skip, and resets the
“next step” to be captured to step 1.
This has the effect of creating a pattern which does not play any notes – ready for a new arpeggio to be
captured.
F2 – Reset On New Group
The “rong” option is short for “reset on new group”.
This option is toggled on and off using soft-key F2.
With this option on, the pattern is reset when the first new note arrives after all previous notes have
been released.
In effect, this automatically clears the pattern as if you pressed F1 just before playing each new group
of notes.
This makes arpeggio capture behave more like a traditional arpeggiator.
If you play a chord, each note in the chord is written into a pattern step, and played in a repeating
pattern.
When you release one chord, and then play another, the pattern is cleared before being filled with the
notes from the new chord.
The order the notes are played in determines their order in the capture arpeggio - so by controlling the
order you press the notes in the chord entered, you can control the nature of the resulting arpeggio.
*TIP You can create up, down, up & down or random direction arpeggios by altering the direction
setting on the patterns.
By using aux events to add note offsets using the accumulator, you can achieve multiple octave range
effects, as well as more complex arpeggio modulations.
With the “rong” option turned off, arpeggio capture can be used as a step-time input mode.
You can enter the pattern as a series of notes from the MIDI keyboard.
