Element Description
RHYTHM
Rate Rate sets the beat (musical division) of the Arp engine in relation to
global tempo in musical values, ranging from 1/1 to 1/128. All note
values (except 1/1 and 1/128) are available as basic notes, dotted
notes, and triplets. Dotted notes are 1.5 times longer than the
corresponding basic notes. Triplets are 2/3 the duration of their
corresponding basic notes, so that e.g. three 1/4 notes are equal in
duration to two basic 1/4 notes.
Unit Selects from three variations of the original note length defined by
the Rate parameter: Normal plays the original note length (default
setting), Triplet plays triplets of the original note length (faster, three
notes in the duration of two original notes), and Dotted plays dotted
versions of the original note length (slower, two notes in the duration
of three original notes.
Sequence Allows you to add interesting rhythms to your arpeggiated notes.
Select one of eight different sequences and apply it to the arpeggio
you are playing. Select Off to use the default regular sequence.
Octaves Adjusts the spread of the arpeggiated sequence. You can choose to
play back your sequence within the octave of the click-pads you
pressed on your controller only, or you can select up to eight octaves
and let the notes of your chord (or a single note) be played back in as
many octaves.
OTHER
Dynamic Amplifies or reduces the velocity derived from the pressure you apply
on each single click-pad you hold (Polyphonic Aftertouch). Available
values range from 1% to 200%. This setting applies globally to all
rate presets.
