Arpache 5
A typical arpeggiator accepts a chord as input, and plays back each note in the chord separately, with the playback order and speed set by the user.

- Play Order buttons
Allow you to select the playback order for the arpeggiated notes. If you select User, you can set the playback order manually using the 12 Play Order slots that are now shown at the bottom of the dialog.
- Step Size
Determines the speed of the arpeggio, as a note value related to the project tempo. For example, setting this to 16 means the arpeggio is a pattern of 16 notes.
- Length
Sets the length of the arpeggio notes, as a note value related to the project tempo.
To create staccato arpeggios, set a smaller value for Length than for Step Size.
To create arpeggio notes that overlap each other, set a greater value for Length than for Step Size.
- Key Range
Determines the arpeggiated note range, in semitones counted from the lowest key you play. This works as follows:
Any notes you play that are outside this range are transposed in octave steps to fit within the range.
If the range is more than one octave, octave-transposed copies of the notes you play are added to the arpeggio (as many octaves as fit within the range).

- MIDI Thru
If this button is activated, the notes that you play pass through the plug-in and are sent out together with the arpeggiated notes.
