The arpeggio player automatically arpeggiate notes you hold down, creating rhythmic melodic patterns from chords or single notes.

Activating Arpeggio

Press the Players button (right side, below com). Press it again to enable the arpeggio player. To change the arpeggio style, hold SHIFT and press Players.

Main Parameters

  • Dark grey = speed (how fast notes cycle)
  • Mid grey = pattern (up/down/up-down/random/play order)
  • Light grey = range (how many octaves the arpeggio spans)
  • White = hold (sustains the arpeggio after releasing keys)

Advanced Settings

Hold SHIFT while adjusting encoders to access:

  • Note length
  • Style variations
  • Glide between notes
  • Stereo panning

The arpeggio player works on any instrument track. Simply hold down one or more keys on the keyboard and the player will cycle through them according to your pattern and speed settings. Use the hold parameter to keep the arpeggio running hands-free while you work on other tracks.
