Direction up / down / alternate / random Determines the sequence of generated notes according to pitch. � If up is selected, the arpeggio starts at the lowest note and sweeps up through the notes until it reaches the highest note. It then starts at the bottom again. � If down is selected, the arpeggio starts at the highest note and sweeps down through the notes until it reaches the lowest note. It then starts at the top again. � If alternate is selected, the arpeggio starts at the lowest note and sweeps up through the notes until it reaches the highest note. It then starts to sweep back down. � If random is selected, the arpeggio plays any of the notes in a random order. NoteOrder by note / note rev. / as played / reversed Determines the sequence of generated notes according to note order. � If by note is selected, the arpeggio sequence is sorted by the MIDI note number. This is the standard mode, used by most arpeggiators. � If note rev. is selected, the arpeggio sequence is sorted in the exactly reversed order to the by note setting. � If as played is selected, the arpeggio is generated in the order of the incoming notes. In combination with the user programmable pattern this feature offers a small but effective step sequencer. � If reversed is selected, the arpeggio is generated in the reverse order of the incoming notes. To understand the difference of the individual settings, it is nessessary to "step-input" the notes of the chord as described at the beginning of this chapter. Velocity root note / last note Determines how the velocity values of the generated notes are calculated. � If root note is selected, every generated note inherits its velocity from its base note. E.g. if the base chord for the arpeggio contains an E with a certain velocity, all generated E notes also have this velocity value, independent of their octave setting. � If last note is selected, every generated note has the same velocity as the last incoming note. Reset on Pattern Start off / on Selects if the arpeggiator is reset each time the rhythm pattern starts again. If the setting is disabled, the arpeggiator plays all chord notes from the first to the last and over again, regarding the sequence determined by Direction and Note Order. If the setting is enabled, the arpeggiator only plays the number of chord notes that correspond to the pattern length. Then it starts with the first chord note at its basic octave again. The result is similar to pressing the chord again each time the pattern restarts. If no pattern is selected, this parameter has no function. Length 1�16 Determines the length of the user programmable rhythm pattern.
