Arpeggiator

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/DOWN 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.

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, down, range, or hold) for more than one second.

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-Fand 1-8buttons as documented below. In all supermodes, a blinking LED indicates that an option is settable but is currently not set. A solid LED indicates that particular option is enabled. An unlit LED indicates no settable option.

Arpeggiator sync options and clock multiplier/divider

This supermode is enabled by pressing and holding the DOWN button for a period of more than one second. During the time that the DOWN button is held, buttons A-Fand 1-8become arpeggiator sync source, clock multiplier/divider, and polyrhythm options as shown in Figure 9:

The following three synchronization sources are selectable. Only one synchronization source is selectable at any time. The synchronization source is applicable to both arpeggiators (if in SPLIT mode) and is saved as a global board setting.
