User Page

The User page offers a user phrase editor with which you can create and save your own phrases.

The following additional parameters are available on the User page:

Arp Mode

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.

Wrap

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

Note

Deactivated steps are taken into account.

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.

Key Replace

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.

Note

Key Replace can be set for each individual variation.

User Phrase Editor

  1. The topmost row contains the velocity curve. The parameters for the individual velocity steps Step On/Off, Step Legato, Step Transpose, and Step Key Select are displayed above it.

  2. Below the velocity curve, you can find the controller curves for MIDI controllers 111, 112, and 113.

  3. The modulation rows to the right allow you to use the controller curves as modulation sources.

Step On/Off

Activates/Deactivates the corresponding step.

Step Legato

Activates legato between this step and the following step.

Step Transpose

Allows you to transpose the step by the specified number of semitones.

Step Key Select

The arpeggiator scans the keyboard and writes the keys that you press into a note buffer. Depending on the selected Key Mode, this note buffer is sorted either by pitch or in the order in which you play the keys. Key Select allows you to play back a defined key from the note buffer. You can set up Key Select for each individual step, which allows you to create very elaborate phrases.

Note

Key Select cannot be used if Arp Mode is set to Step or Chord.

  • To switch between the available Key Select values for a step, click the value, and drag up/down, or use the scroll wheel.

    The following options are available:

    • P (Phrase) plays the note of the user phrase, according to the selected mode, for example, Up, Down, Up/Down 1, etc.

    • The settings 1 - 8 play the corresponding keys from the note list. Which key is played depends on the Key Mode setting. For example, if Key Mode is set to Sort, setting 1 plays the lowest key.

    • L (Last) always plays the last key from the note buffer. Depending on the Key Mode, this is the highest note or the last note in the note buffer.

    • A (All) plays all keys from the note buffer as a chord.

MIDI Controller Lanes

The MIDI controllers 110, 111, and 112 from the three controller lanes are sent to the modulation destinations. When you export a recorded sequence, these controller values are also exported. This means that, once you add the exported MIDI sequence to the sequencer, you can deactivate the arpeggiator and play the notes and controller values using the sequencer.

The three modulation rows on the right allow you to use the three controller curves as modulation sources.
