User Phrases
The following settings are available:
Ö The Key Replace setting can be set differently for each variation.
Key Select
When the FlexPhraser scans the keyboard, it writes the pressed keys into a note
buffer. Depending on the selected Key Mode, this note buffer is sorted by pitch or in
the order that you played the keys. The Key Select feature allows you to play back a
defined key from the note buffer. You can set up Key Select for each step separately,
which allows you to create very elaborate user phrases.
Ö Key Select cannot be used in Step or Chord mode.
• To access the Key Select values of the steps, click the “Show Key Values” button
to the left of the editor.
• To switch between the available Key Select values for a steps, click the value and
use the scroll wheel.
The following options are available:
Wrap Parameter
For all modes except Step and Chord, you can use this parameter to restart the
arpeggio after a specified number of steps.
If the Octaves parameter is active, the arpeggio traverses the octaves and restarts
from the original octave after the specified number of steps.
Ö Deactivated steps are taken into account.
Ö In Step and Chord mode, the Wrap parameter only affects the Octaves setting.
Option Description

instead.

selected mode, for example, Up, Down, Up/Down 1, etc.

depends on the Key Mode setting. For example, when Key Mode is
set to “Sort”, the setting 1 plays the lowest key.

Key Mode, this is the highest note or the last note in the note buffer.
