Xpand!2 Arp Controls
 
The arpeggiator automatically triggers the notes that are played simultaneously in pre-defined rhythmical patterns. Each Part has its own Arpeggiator.
Some Parts, such as Action Pads and Loops, automatically switch on the Arpeggiator as it forms an integral part of their sound.
 
On
Click this button to activate or deactivate the Arpeggiator. The Arpeggiator will trigger the input notes in the selected pattern as long as the notes are held. When the Arpeggiator is activated the button is lit.
Latch
Click the Latch button to activate Latch mode playback. In this mode, the Part’s Arpeggiator will continue to play after releasing keys until playback is stopped. Released keys are only removed from the arpeggio when new keys are pressed. When Latch mode is activated, the button is lit.
 
*
When the Arpeggiator is switched on, the Sustain pedal acts as a temporary Latch switch, overriding the displayed setting.
Mode
Click the Mode display to select an Arpeggiator mode from the appearing pop-up menu. An Arpeggiator Mode is a pre-defined rhythmic pattern that the Arpeggiator uses to trigger held notes.
Rate
Click the Rate display to select the Arpeggiator's Rate (or speed) from the list. For example “1” stands for a whole note and “32” stands for a 32nd note. Dotted and triplet timing are indicated by an asterisk (*) or “T” respectively.
