A. Show Arpeggiator
The arpeggiator features two operation modes: a standard algorithmic mode, used to recreate
standard up/down/random patterns, and a MIDI mode, in which it uses one of the pre-programmed
patterns to process played notes.
The arpeggiator features sync to host tempo, and to bar position so it will keep track if the host
tempo changes dynamically.
Arpeggiator settings are stored in the program.
To enable/disable the Arpeggiator, do one of the following:
•• Click the Options button, point to Arpeggiator and choose Disable.
•• Right-click the Arpeggiator graph and choose Disable on the pop-up menu.
Using MIDI files with the arpeggiator
You can import any MIDI file into the arpeggiator. To do so, click the arrow next to the PATTERN
field and select Load MIDI File on the pop-up menu. A reference to the MIDI file is stored with the
program, and automatically recalled on program recall.
The MIDI file must use the following settings:
•• Length: 1 measure
•• Meter: 4/4
•• Format: Type 0
You can also drag a MIDI file to and from the Arpeggiator graph.
Note: When using MIDI files with the arpeggiator, the arpeggiator only looks at the first measure.
If you want to use a MIDI pattern that is longer than one measure, first use a MIDI authoring
program to scale the MIDI pattern so it is one measure long, then use the sync setting in Z3TA+
to change the speed so it matches the MIDI pattern’' s original feel.
