Nord Lead 3 features a very interesting Arpeggiator. The concept is quite basic, but offers plenty of in-
teresting possibilities. The Arpeggiator can be used with the standard Up, Down, Up/Down and Random
patterns with different ranges and you can also use the Sub Arpeggiator and the Mask function to create
very interesting pattern variations. You can sync the Arpeggiator to either the internal Master Clock of
Nord Lead 3, to external MIDI Clock or have it “free-running” at selectable rate. You can also use the
Arpeggiator together with other functions like the LFOs, Chord Memory (see below), Glide (see below)
etc. for really interesting combination effects. The Arpeggiator also uses MIDI Song Position Pointer
when synched to an external MIDI Clock, which means that if you record an arpeggio in an external se-
quencer, it will always play back the pattern exactly the same way it was recorded - even if you start the
sequencer in the middle of the sequence.
