19.1. ARPEGGIATOR 275
is therefore only recognizable when more than one chord or note has been played.
In addition to the Arpeggiator styles above, there are a number of random styles. Random
randomly selects incoming MIDI notes for playback. Random Other creates a random
pattern from incoming MIDI notes, and then plays the randomly generated chord repeatedly.
Random Once creates a random pattern from incoming MIDI notes and repeats the pattern
until it has been transposed or retriggered, at which point a new pattern is created.
Arpeggiator will play the pattern of notes at the speed set by the Rate control, which can
be calibrated in either milliseconds or beat-time using the neighboring Sync/Free button.
With Sync chosen, Arpeggiator will be synced to song time.
A Gate control to the right of Rate determines the length of notes played by Arpeggiator
as a percentage of the current Rate setting. Any setting larger that 100% will therefore play
notes that overlap (i.e., are legato).
The rhythmic pattern generated by Arpeggiator does not necessarily have to be straight;
patterns can be given groove with the respective control just beneath the Mode chooser.
Groove in Arpeggiator works just like it does for clips, so that the intensity of the groove is
set in the Control Bar.
With the Hold parameter active, Arpeggiator will continue to play the pattern even after the
keyboard keys have been released. The pattern will be repeated until any other keyboard
key is pressed. When Hold is active and any of the original keys also remain physically held,
notes can be added to the pattern simply by playing them. Notes can also be removed from
the pattern in this scenario by playing them a second time, allowing the gradual buildup
and rearrangement of the pattern over time.
Tip: If you want the pattern to stop playing, momentarily deactivate Hold.
The Offset parameter shifts the sequence of notes in the pattern by the number of places
selected with the control. This is best illustrated with an example: A setting of 1 makes
the second note in the pattern play rst, and the rst note last. If you imagine the pattern
as a circle of notes that is played in a clockwise direction from a set start point, the Offset
