Activates/Deactivates the arpeggiator.

Specifies the playback of the notes.

• If Step is selected, the last note that is received triggers a monophonic sequence.

• If Chord is selected, the notes are triggered as chords.

• If Up is selected, the notes are arpeggiated in ascending order.

• If Down is selected, the notes are arpeggiated in descending order.

• If Up/Down 1 is selected, the notes are arpeggiated first in ascending, then in descending order.

• If Up/Down 2 is selected, the notes are arpeggiated first in ascending, then in descending order. This mode depends on the set Key Mode.

  If Key Mode is set to Sort, the highest and the lowest note are repeated.

  If Key Mode is set to As Played, the first and the last note are repeated.

• If Down/Up 1 is selected, the notes are arpeggiated first in descending, then in ascending order.

• If Down/Up 2 is selected, the notes are arpeggiated first in descending, then in ascending order. This mode depends on the set Key Mode.

  If Key Mode is set to Sort, the highest and the lowest note are repeated.

  If Key Mode is set to As Played, the first and the last note are repeated.

• If Random is selected, the notes are arpeggiated in random order.

Determines the moment when the arpeggiator scans for new notes that you play on the keyboard.

• If Immediately is selected, the arpeggiator continuously scans for new notes. The phrase changes immediately, in reaction to your playing.

• If Next Beat is selected, the arpeggiator scans for new notes at every new beat. The phrase changes at each new beat, in reaction to your playing.

• If Next Measure is selected, the arpeggiator scans for new notes at the start of new measures. The phrase changes on each new measure, in reaction to your playing.

• If this is set to Off, the phrase runs continuously and does not restart at chord or note changes.

• New Chord restarts the phrase on new chords.

  Note

  The phrase does not restart upon notes that are played legato.

• New Note restarts the phrase with each new note that you play.

• Sync to Host aligns the phrase with the beats and measures of your host application each time that you start the transport.

Determines if and how the playback of the phrase is affected by the order of the notes, as played on the keyboard.

• If Sort is selected, the notes are played in the order of the selected phrase, regardless of the chronological order.

• If As Played is selected, the notes are played in the order in which you play them on the keyboard.

• If Direct is selected, the phrase creates controller events instead of notes. You hear the notes that you play plus any controller events of the phrase, such as pitch bend, volume, pan, etc.

  Note

  Direct only has an effect if you have set up and activated a controller lane in the arpeggiator and if a modulation destination is assigned to it.

• If Original is selected, the notes of the phrase play with the velocity that is saved in the phrase.

• If Vel Controller is selected, you can choose a velocity controller to generate or modulate the velocities of the notes.

• If Original + Vel Controller is selected, the phrase velocity is determined by the combination of the velocity saved in the phrase and the velocity derived from the velocity controller.

If the Vel Mode pop-up menu is set to Vel Controller or Original + Vel Ctrl., the Vel Controller pop-up menu is available. It allows you to generate or modulate the velocities of the notes using the incoming controller values.

• If Velocity is selected, the triggered notes inherit the velocity of the note that you play.

• If Aftertouch is selected, the triggered notes receive their velocity from the aftertouch controller.

• If Poly Pressure is selected, the triggered notes receive their velocity from the poly pressure controller. This allows you to control the velocity via the keys.

• Selecting MIDI Controller opens a submenu, where you can select a MIDI controller.

  The value of this MIDI controller is used as the velocity for the triggered notes.

If the Vel Controller pop-up menu is set to Aftertouch, Poly Pressure, or a MIDI controller, you can use the Fetch option to change the way that the notes are generated.

• If Fetch is activated, the first note that you play defines the initial velocity. As soon as the controller value exceeds this velocity, new notes receive their velocity from the controller.

• If Fetch is deactivated, the generated notes receive their velocity from the current controller value.

Allows you to prevent the phrase from stopping or changing when the keys are released.

• If Off is selected, the phrase changes as soon as you release a key. The phrase stops immediately when you release all keys.

• If On is selected, the phrase plays to the end, even if the keys are released. If Loop is activated, the phrase is repeated continuously.

• If Gated is selected, the phrase starts to play when the first key is played. It plays silently in the background, even if the keys are released, and resumes playback at the current position when you press any of the keys again. This way, you can gate the playback of the phrase.

For all modes except Step and Chord, you can use this parameter to restart the arpeggio after a specified number of steps.

In Step and Chord mode, this parameter only affects the Octaves setting.

If the Octaves parameter is active, the arpeggio traverses the octaves and restarts from the original octave after the specified number of steps.

With this parameter, you can deactivate the Key Select function or specify how to replace missing keys.

For example, if Key Select is set to 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 and you play a chord with 3 notes, key 4 is considered missing.

• Off deactivates Key Replace and Key Select. The selected arpeggio plays back without modifications.

• Arp replaces the missing keys with the note that the arpeggio would normally play.

• Rest does not replace any missing keys. The arpeggio inserts a rest instead.

• 1st replaces the missing keys with the first note in the note buffer.

• Last replaces the missing keys with the last note in the note buffer.

• All replaces the missing keys with all notes in the note buffer. The notes are played as a chord.
