14. ARPEGGIATOR

These knobs control the performance of the arpeggiator in realtime (☞p.29).

[TEMPO] knob

This adjusts the base tempo of the arpeggiator and sequencer. The LED will blink at quarter-note intervals of the current tempo.

[GATE] knob

This adjusts the gate time (note duration) of the arpeggi- ated notes. At the center position (12 o’clock), the gate time will be the same as the “Gate” parameter of the arpeggiator. Rotating the knob toward the left will shorten the gate time, and rotating it toward the right will lengthen the gate time.

This adjusts the velocity (playing strength) of the arpeggi- ated notes. At the center position (12 o’clock), the velocity will be the same as the “Velocity” parameter of the arpeg- giator. Rotating the knob toward the left will decrease the velocity, and rotating it toward the right will increase the velocity.
