The arpeggio player generates arpeggiated note patterns from whatever notes you play, and is available on any instrument or auxiliary track.

Enabling the arpeggio player

Press players to open the player, then press players again to enable it. Hold shift and press players to change the player style to arpeggio if it is not already selected.

Main controls

  • Speed: rotate the dark gray knob to adjust how fast the arpeggio plays
  • Pattern: rotate the mid gray knob to choose a style, options are up, down, up/down, up/repeat/down, and random play order
  • Range: rotate the light gray knob to change how many octaves the arpeggio spans
  • Hold: rotate the white knob to enable hold, so the arpeggio keeps going without you holding the keys down

Additional controls (hold shift)

  • Note length: hold shift and rotate the dark gray knob
  • Style: hold shift and rotate the mid gray knob to change the order notes are played back
  • Glide: hold shift and rotate the light gray knob to adjust glide between notes
  • Stereo: hold shift and rotate the white knob to pan each note by a set amount, spreading the arpeggio across the stereo field

Note that parameter locks cannot be applied to players.
