Arpeggiator and sequence modes

Arpeggiator and sequence modes
The arpeggiator modes (options1

1----4

) control the type of arpeggiation, and the sequence modes (options

5----8

) control sequence related arpeggiations. One arpeggiator mode and one sequence mode can be

selected simultaneously as well as only one of the two.

Normal mode (1)

Normal mode (1)
When this mode is set, the arpeggiator works as it did with the Roland code. If the up direction is
selected, notes are played in lowest note held to highest note held. If down is selected, the notes are
played in highest note held to lowest note held. Up/down and down/up modes cause the notes to follow
their respective directions.

Ordered mode (2)

Ordered mode (2)
Ordered arpeggiator mode causes arpeggiation to occur in the order the notes were played or recorded. If
the up direction is selected, notes are played in first note played to last note played order. Conversely, if
the down direction is selected, notes are played in the last note played to first note played order.
Up/down and down/up modes cause the notes to follow their respective directions.

Ping

Ping

Ping----pong mode (3)

pong mode (3)

Notes are played in the order of first pressed, last pressed, second pressed, second to the last pressed,
etc… For example, if the following notes were played and held and UP

mode is selected:

C D E F G A B

Ping-pong mode would arpeggiate them as:

C B D A E G F C B D A E G F ….

Setting DOWN

DOWN

reverses this order and up/down and down/up modes cause the notes to follow as

expected.

Random mode (4)

Random mode (4)
Notes are played in a completely random order. The Up/down

Up/down

settings will have no effect in random

mode.

Sequence modes and options

Sequence modes and options
The following four options cover the sequence modes. All sequence modes (settings 5

5----8

) arpeggiate the

recorded sequence and one must be recorded before these modes will function. When a sequence mode is
enabled, the UP/DOWN

UP/DOWN

directions and RANGE

RANGE

settings affect the sequence, and the sequence is

transposed by the held notes in order from first to last played. If both an arpeggiator and a sequence
mode are enabled, the UP/DOWN

UP/DOWN

directions and the RANGE

RANGE

settings determine the transposition order

of the sequence.
