8.1.8 Arp
Pressing the ARP button on controller enables the Arpeggiator. After engaging Arp the controller takes your
chords and creates an arpeggio – i.e. it plays each note of the chord one after another. The Arpeggiator will
run as long as keys are held, at the rhythmic value specified by the Arp Rate.
Arpeggiator rotary knobs
When you hold the ARP button the rotary knobs can transform your arpeggios.

Arp modes
After turning on Arp you'll be in 1 of 5 Arpeggiator modes, each resulting in arpeggios of different note
orders. To change the Arp Mode, press and hold the ARP button, and then press the key corresponding to
your desired mode.
Button
Up
Down
This knob speeds up or slows down your arpeggio relative to the Arp Rate.
This knob sets the amount that every other note is delayed, resulting in a
swung rhythm. To change the Arpeggiator's Swing, press and hold the ARP
button, and then turn the knob labelled Swing. By default (center position),
swing will be set to 50% (meaning no swing), with extremes of 80% (very
swung) and 20% (negative swing). Negative swing means every other note
is rushed, instead of delayed.
Adjusting this knob will create longer or shorter MIDI notes, resulting in either
a more 'staccato' arpeggio, or a more fluid, 'legato' one. This knob goes from
1% to 200% of the space between notes. For notes that have swing applied,
both notes retain the same gate length.
Here notes are played in ascending order (i.e. rising in pitch). If notes are
added, the number of notes in the sequence will grow but remain in
ascending order. For example, you may start by holding down a first note -
E3 -then quickly add two more notes -C3 and G3. The resulting arpeggio will
be C3, E3 and G3.
This mode is similar to Up mode, but notes play in descending order (e.g.
G3, E3, C3).
