Vacuum Arp Controls

The Arp section controls the Arpeggiator: a feature that creates rhythmic arpeggios when one or more MIDI notes are played and held down.

 

Arpeggiator controls

On/Off

Turns the arpeggiator on and off.

Speed

Sets the speed of the arpeggio in rhythmic values that are synchronized to the session tempo.

 

Speed	Description
1/4	Quarter notes
1/8	Eighth notes
1/16	Sixteenth notes
1/32	Thirty-second notes

In between each setting, there are two unlabeled settings for triplet and dotted rhythms. Experiment with different settings until you find the rhythm you want.

Mode

Sets the direction of the arpeggiator.

 

Mode	Description
Up	The arpeggio moves up from the lowest note held. Once all notes have been played, the pattern repeats.
Down	The arpeggio moves down from the highest note held. Once all notes have been played, the pattern repeats.
U&D	The arpeggio moves up from the lowest note held. When the highest note is reached, the arpeggiator runs in reverse, moving down. Once the lowest note is reached, the pattern repeats.
RND	The arpeggiator will play through the held notes, randomly.
