Arpeggiator The CrX4's Arpeggiator allows you to create user-defined arpeggios. Arpeggios are chords that are played as separate successive notes or broken chords. With the CrX4's Arpeggiator you can control the way the arpeggio is played in numerous ways. Right next to the Arp (Arpeggiator) label you find the editing menu which allows you to init the arpeggiator or copy/paste settings into another preset or even save/load its settings for future use. This way you can build an entire library of your own Arpeggiator presets if you wish. The Arpeggiator Mode defines how the Arpeggiator functions. Several options are available: § Off: Switches the Arpeggiator completely off. § Mod-Only: In this mode the Arpeggiator is Off and does not influence chords (or single notes) being played. However, the Arpeggiator is available as a Modulation Source in the Modulation Matrix as if it were switched on. Using the Arpeggiator in the Modulation Matrix is like having an LFO with up to 32 individually definable steps. § Up, Down, Up/Down, Up/Down+, Down/Up, and Down/Up+: These modes play typical arpeggiator patterns or arpeggios which, as described above, are the notes of the chord played successively instead of simultaneously. In Up mode the chord notes are played in ascending order starting from lowest note. In Down mode, the playback sequence is reversed with chord notes being played in descending order starting from highest note. In UpDown mode chord notes are played from lowest to highest and then from highest to lowest. In DownUp mode this pattern is reversed. A “+” sign after the mode type indicates that the highest and lowest notes of the chord are played twice. For example, in the case of UpDown mode the chord C-E-G would be arpeggiated as C-E-G-E and then repeated. In the case of Up/Down+ mode, the chord would be arpeggiated as C-E-G-G-E-C and then repeated. CrX4 User Manual 50
§ Random: In this mode the notes of the chord are played in a random, arbitrary order. § Chord: In this mode the Arpeggiator does not play the chord as separate notes but instead plays the chord in rhythmic phrases defined by the other parameters. § AsPlayed: In this mode notes are played by the Arpeggiator in the order that the Note On messages were received by the instrument, or more simply, in the way that the chord was actually played (time wise). Step Display The Step Display contains the Arpeggiator’s 32 step values and is the heart of the module. This is where the rhythmic patterns of the Arpeggiator are defined. As we said above, the CrX4’s Arpeggiator breaks a chord into separate notes of equal length (defined by the Tempo) parameter) and plays them sequentially. In the Step Display each note step can be given a different velocity value, rests can be inserted into the pattern and notes can be tied together to form notes with a different length. Within the Step Display, each step can have its own velocity value ranging from 1 to 127. Off means that no note value is defined for the step so that a pause or rest is created in the arpeggiator pattern. Tie means that consecutive steps are bound together creating a longer note duration. Returning to the C-E-G chord example presented above, step values of 127, 127, Off, 100, Tie, 30, Off, Tie would result in the following sequence of notes (assuming a 1/16 Tempo setting and the Arpeggiator being in Up mode): Firstly, note C would be played with maximum velocity and duration 1/16 th . Then note E would be played the same way. Next there would be a 1/16 th duration pause, followed by the note G played with a velocity of 100 and a note duration of 1/8 th (as the following step is tied to this step). Then the note C would be played with a velocity of 30 and a duration of 1/16 th length. Finally, there would be a 1/8 th pause. Note that a Tie after an Off is the same as placing an Off behind an Off. Both result in a longer pause. CrX4 User Manual 51
