19.ARPEG. A — SYNTH/VOCODER

Here you can make various arpeggio-related settings. "TYPE" (knob 4 ) selects the arpeggio type. "TEMPO" sets the tempo of the arpeggiator, and "RESOLUTION" (knob 2 ) specifies the spacing of the notes relative to the tempo. "GATE (knob 3 ) sets the duration of the arpeggiated notes, and "RANGE" (knob 5 ) specifies the range of pitch (one to four octaves, in one-octave steps) in which the arpeggio will be played. You may hold down as many keys as you like to create an arpeggiated program.

TEMPO[20...300]

Specifies the tempo of the arpeggio. Increasing this value will speed up the arpeggio tempo.

If MIDI "CLOCK" is set to Exter- nal, or if it is set to Auto when there is an external input, this setting will be ignored and the arpeggiator will synchronize to the external MIDI Clock.

RESOLUTION [1/24...1/4]

Specifies the resolution (spacing of the notes) relative to the tempo specified by "TEMPO." (➝ p.65)

1/24 ():

The arpeggio will be played as six- teenth note triplets of the specified tempo.

1/16 ():

The arpeggio will be played as six- teenth notes of the specified tempo.

1/12 ():

The arpeggio will be played as eighth note triplets of the specified tempo.

1/8 ():

The arpeggio will be played as eighth notes of the specified tempo.

1/6 ():

The arpeggio will be played as quarter note triplets of the specified tempo.

1/4 ():

The arpeggio will be played as quarter notes of the specified tempo.

GATE[0...100]

Specifies the duration (gate time) of the arpeggiated notes, as a percent- age (%).

With a setting of 0, each note will be extremely short.

With set to 100, each note will con- tinue playing until the next step.

TYPE [Up, Down, Alternate 1, Alternate 2, Random, Trigger]

Selects the arpeggio type. (➝ Figure 19-1)

Up ():

Notes will be played consecutively from low to high pitches.

Down ():

Notes will be played consecutively from high to low pitches.

Alternate 1 ():

Up and Down will be alternated. (The highest and lowest notes will be sounded once.)

Alternate 2 ():

Up and Down will be alternated. (The highest and lowest notes will be sounded twice.)

Random ():

Notes will be played randomly.

Trigger ():

The notes you are holding down will be played simultaneously at the tempo and "RESOLUTION" timing. The "RANGE" setting will be ignored.

If you are holding down more notes (➚)

RANGE[1...4]

Specifies the range of octaves over which the arpeggio will be played.
