7.3.5 Creating Arpeggios
MASCHINE JAM features a flexible and versatile arpeggiator that lets you play your instru-
ments in note sequences according to the keys you press on the on the 8x8 click pad matrix.
You can also use the arpeggiator in combination with the scales and chords created with the
Scale engine (see section ↑7.3.4, Selecting a Scale and Chords). To play an arpeggiated note
sequence you only need to press a click-pad on the 8x8 matrix.
The arpeggiator has lots of parameters that provide you with many possibilities to shape your
own note sequences.
To access the arpeggiator:
1. Press the SHIFT + NOTE REPEAT (ARP) button.
⇨ The controller automatically switches to Keyboard mode and the 8x8 click-pad matrix illu-
minates. The white click-pads represent the root notes of the scale.
►
Press the D-pad Up or Down button to show higher or lower notes within the scale.
→
The 8x8 click-pad matrix will update to display the available notes.
