Pattern Length
16
Sets the length of the rhythm pattern. This parameter is also valid when Pattern is set to Off or if one
of the ROM patterns is selected. Note that you can only edit a particular step in the Step Data pages
when its position is within the range of the Pattern Length parameter.
Arpeggiator Step Data Pages
The following Arpeggiator menu pages all behave similarly. The left value dial sets the step that
should be changed while the right value dial changes the value of the step according to the possible
value range.
You can only select the steps that are in the range set by Pattern Length. E.g., when you have
set Pattern Length to 8, you can’t change a value of step 9 or above.

Arp Accent
01[--Ï-Ò------Í----]
Sets the accent of a particular step. This accent is interpreted as a velocity offset that is added or
subtracted from the original velocity stored in the note list. However, the generated velocities can
never exceed the maximum MIDI velocity 127 or minimum MIDI velocity 1. This means when you
have already played notes with a high velocity, Arp Accent might not be able to further offset them
positively, so you will only hear differences with negative accent offsets. Conversely, low velocities
might not be able to be lowered by Arp Accent. The only exception is ÍÍ
ÍÍ
. See the following
description:
• If ÍÍ
ÍÍ
is selected, the current step is actually played, but inaudible. This means that the note
list is advanced by one note, but you are not able to hear it. This feature is the opposite to
Arp Step set to Off, which doesn’t generate any note and therefore doesn’t advance the
note list.
• If ÓÓ
ÓÓ
is selected, the velocity of the current step is not altered. The arpeggio steps are played
back with their original velocity.
• If Arp Accent is set to any positive or negative value, the velocity is raised or lowered
accordingly. Each step adds or subtracts 15 from the original velocity.

For each step in the arpeggio pattern you can activate the glide effect individually. This gives you the
ability to create the classic "Bass Line" melody character. Make sure that you set up a reasonable glide
effect in the Oscillator Edit menu.
• If off is selected (empty space), the glide effect is disabled for this step.
