If both an arpeggiator and sequence mode are selected, the arpeggiator gets the notes to play from the 
recorded sequence using the held notes as transpositions for sequence playback – just like with a 
sequence only mode; however, the range and UP

 directions affect the arpeggiator mode. This 

might be the most difficult concept to understand about the Europa arpeggiator, but play with it – it is 
easier to understand by playing with it than reading about it.

The arpeggio note calculator takes the note to play 
from the sequence step calculator and/or the arpeggio 
step calculator. It uses the RANGE

, octave, legato, 

and number of repeats as influence to decide which 
note to play next. The arpeggio note calculator will 
also transpose the note if necessary. If local mode is 
disabled, the arpeggiated notes are transmitted over 
MIDI only. Internal voices are not used. If local mode 
is enabled, the arpeggiated notes are sent to the local 
voices, and only the physically played notes on the 
keyboard are transmitted over MIDI.

Europa’s user interface employs “supermodes”. That is, the meaning of various buttons changes 
depending upon what other buttons are held. The arpeggiator settings, above and beyond the Roland 
code’s arpeggiator settings, are accessed by holding arpeggiator related buttons (up

Each of the aforementioned buttons will perform their original function as it would operate in the Roland 
code. With Europa, pressing the button and holding it for more than one second will enable one of three 
supermodes – all of which have options that are settable in the A

solid LED indicates that particular option is enabled. An unlit LED indicates no settable option.
