Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the arpeggiator with the project tempo. See Rate knob.
Key Trigger pop-up menu: Choose an option to align the arpeggiator and host application grid values. Incoming and playing notes snap to this value when the host is in play mode.
Choose a value other than Off to restart the arpeggiator pattern when the first note is struck after a pause. This allows you to create pattern variations by playing chords on different beats in the bar and may feel more responsive. Playing legato does not retrigger the arpeggiator.
Choose Snap to Rate when you want to use a host application rate that differs from available menu options.
Choose Cycle Reset to enable or disable. This option starts the arpeggiation from the first note each time the pattern is repeated and when the host application is started (at step 1). Cycle Reset is enabled by default, and turned off for all existing presets for backwards compatibility.
Mode knob: Turn the arpeggiator on and off, and determine the order in which incoming notes are organized into a pattern. In addition to Off, you have the following choices:
Up: Plays the current notes from lowest to highest.
Down: Plays the current notes from highest to lowest.
Up/Down: Plays the current notes from lowest to highest and back again.
Down/Up: Plays the current notes from highest to lowest and back again.
As Played: Plays the current notes in the order they were originally played.
Random: Plays the current notes in a random, non-repeating order.
Chord: Plays all held notes simultaneously as a chord. The chords are retriggered and pulse in time with the arpeggiator rate and rhythm, as determined by the arpeggiator sequencer settings. See Apple Books | Apple Books | PDF
