Sound Parameters – Arpeggiator
101 Waldorf microQ User´s Manual
Range 1 Oct…10 Oct
Determines the range of the single notes in octaves. When it is set to 1 Oct, the note list will be
played back in the same octave as originally entered Greater values mean that the note list is repeated
in higher or lower octaves. The octave in which the arpeggio starts is determined by the Direction
parameter. If you play notes that span more than one octave, they are still kept in the note list and
played back before the note list is transposed. The following table shows some possible arpeggios, all
set to Sort Order as played:

Tempo 40...300
The basic tempo of the Arpeggiator is set by this global Tempo control that also controls the
behaviour of the LFOs and Envelopes. This allows you to change all tempo-related aspects of the
sound with one single turn of the Tempo control. Please refer to the chapter “The Tempo” on page
99.
Clock
Please refer to the chapter “The Tempo” on page 124.

Pattern Off / User / 1…15
Sets the rhythm pattern that is used for generating the arpeggio. If Pattern is set to Off or to one of the
15 ROM patterns and T.Factor is set to a value greater than 0, the sequence is played back with a
Shuffle or Swing effect. This means that the off-beat steps are played back slightly later in time.
• If Off is selected, the arpeggiator plays back a continuous sequence of notes with the current
Clock setting.
• User gives you the ability to create your own custom rhythm pattern. This pattern is stored in
in the sound. See the section "Arpeggiator Step Data Pages" below about the pattern settings
you can create.
• 1…15 selects one of the 15 internal ROM rhythm patterns. See the table below for an
overview of each ROM rhythm pattern:
