ARPEGGIATOR-2013 Module
The module is a two-channel arpeggiator with seperatly analoge outputs for notes and two optio­nal movable outputs for the sequence clock and the velocity. Both arpeggio tracks (referred to as “ARP” and “BASS”) plays notes also via MIDI-out (different MIDI-channels 1 and 2). The first four notes of the ARP track notebuffer forms the chord. The chord analoge outputs are the CV­outputs 1-4 (notes 1-4). The MIDI-channel of the transmitted chord is channel 3.
Use the module-keyboard for setting the chord/scale notes. The one octave of the module-key­board can move over four octaves (KEYZONE). It’s possible to load preset chords/scales and user defined chords/scales (organized respectively 16 user patches U01..U16).
The arpeggiator mode included 9 arpeggio play modes with additional different running direc­tions, like up, down, updown, downup and different variations of noterepeats.
You can control functions (as well as Arpeggio-Mode, Noterepeat, Octave-Range, Sequence­Pattern, Transpose ore others) via CV-inputs. Two CV-inputs (USER-1 and USER-2) can be set with individual functions.
The internal sequencer can be synchronized from external MIDI-clock or external Trigger clock. The module included two MIDI-clock divider for incomming or transmitted MIDI-clock (halftime playing sequencer and/or external sequencers).
Each of all 10 sequencer tracks (ARP, BASS, X-OUT 1-8) included a clockdivider (based of internal or external MIDI-clock ticks) and/or a different sequence pattern.
The CV-input LIST can be easy control the both arpeggio tracks ARP and BASS. The 12 list places can be use for auto-playing different chords/scales of ARP and BASS tracks with sepe­ratly keynotes (chord/scale sequencer).
All individual settings can be saved permanently (to the internal EEPROM).
X-2013 Xpander-module
The X-2013 module features additional 8 clock/gate outputs and the jacks for MIDI-In, MIDI-Out and MIDI Thru. The 8 clock/gate outputs can be used like 8 independently clockdivider or sequencer tracks with internal or external MIDI-clock. Each output features different sequence­pattern, clock or gate of the track and send a fix MIDI note on MIDI channel 10.
Advice: You can use the Arpeggiator-module without the X-2013 module, but without MIDI-options and the additional clock outputs.
Firmware versions can be loaded with the provided usb programming adapter (only with PC with Atmel FLIP).

The module is delivered with a connected ribbon cable for the Doepfer bus. The red lead marks
-12 volt. Connecting the module please note the right polarity! If the module is poled accidentally wrong safety diodes avoid the immediate destruction of the module but further damages cannot be excepted. So please pay attention: Check the connec­tion various times before switching on!
Advice ! Please check the correct connection several times before switching-on the module!
Please note: All the miniature precision rulers at the board are adjusted exactly to the correct
justification of the reference voltage for the AD and DA converter. It must not be readjusted! The module would not more run precisely. A probably to big voltage could also damage the circuits.
2.2 Connecting X-2013 Xpander-module
We deliver both modules with connected cable. The X-2013 module is connected at the top first connector on right side. The subjacent second connector is the port for the provided program­ming adapter (firmware updates)
Advice !
Do NOT connected the programming adapter with the top port - this destroy the programming adapter!

Page 11
4.4 Menu ARP / BASS: RANGE
RANGE determines the range of the single notes in octaves. When it is set to 1 octave, the note list will be played back in the same octave as originally entered. Greater values mean that the note list is repeated in higher or lower octaves. If you play notes that span more than one octave, they are still kept in the note list and played back before the note list is transposed.
RANGE values: 1..5 octaves
4.5 Menu ARP / BASS: GLIDE
GLIDE determines the portamento time of the notes (from CV-outputs), die über den CV­Ausgang gespielt werden eingestellt. ( Advice: Not the Portamento of MIDI-notes! ).
GLIDE values: - OFF (portamento is deactiv)
- Portam.Time: 001 ...126 (small values: fast, larger values: slowly)
The speed of the portamento is automatically conform in different tempi. (internal tempo only)
4.6 Menu ARP / BASS: SEQ (SEQUENCE PATTERN)
Here sets or edit the sequence pattern that is used for generating the arpeggio. You can use 63 preset ROM sequence pattern and 63 user sequence pattern.
Laststep is the lenght of the pattern (number of steps):
Example:
16P08: 16 steps Preset Sequence Nr. 08 05U01: 5 steps User Sequence Nr. 01
The first three patterns have this functions:
Pattern 16P00: mirrored sequence
Example:
BASS Sequence plays this pattern:
ARP with “mirrored sequBass” plays the mirrored BASS pattern:
Sequence 16P01 don’t play steps (all steps of pattern Off):
The arpeggiator track is OFF.
Sequence 16P02 play each step:
The arpeggiator plays back a continuous sequence of notes with the current Clock setting.

How you can create sequence pattern and save the pattern on user memory cell:
1. At first go to the menu “ARP SEQ” or “BASS SEQ”.
2. Select the pattern with relevant Laststep (step lenght of pattern).
3. Set or clear the steps of the sequence with the lower note keys C-B and CIS. Step 1 or 9 > Key C Step 2 or 10> Key CIS Step 3 or 11> Key D Step 4 or 12> Key E Step 5 or 13> Key F Step 6 or 14> Key G Step 7 or 15> Key A Step 8 or 16> Key B
4. Toggle between step groups 1-8 and 9-16 with the keys #G and #A (Keyzone) . The LCD
displays the complete sequence. The illuminated keys displays the set/cleared steps of the selected group.
5. Store the sequence: Go to the SAVE menu (push keys SHIFT+SAVE). Select a memory cell
(turn the data-entry-knob) and push key “KEYNOTE”.
Advice: You can only store in the same Laststep group.

4.7 Menu ARP / BASS: CLOCK
(not available,if SYNC=“ARP+BASS Trigger”)
Sets the note value for the steps of the rhythm pattern (SEQU pattern) in a range from one tick to one bar (whole note). Additional triplets and dotted notes are available for every note value.
Examples: 6 Ticks: 1/16 16th notes
9 Ticks: 1/16 dot 16th dotted notes 4 Ticks: 1/16 tri 16th triplets
4.9 Menu ARP / BASS: VELOCITY
Determined the Velocity of transmitted MIDI-notes of the arpeggio. Also you can issue the velocity as voltage 0..5volt on CV-output 3 (velocity of ARP track) and CV-output 4 (velocity of BASS track). For that purpose you have to set the value of submenu “OUT-CV” to “Velocity”” (see below).
Following values are possible:
FIX: 1..127 fix value between 1..127 ACCENT: each 2nd..9th accent RANDOM: x..127 range of randomized velocity RANDOM: formula random formula
4.8 Menu ARP / BASS: GATE
(not available,if SYNC=“ARP+BASS Trigger”)
GATE is the time between Note-On and Note-Off. The GATE time values are adapted in relation to the Clock of the sequence (“adapted”).
The Reset/gate outputs from ARP and BASS plays the clock/gate sequences.
For that purpose you have to set the value of submenu “OUT-GATE” to “Sequencer(Gate)” (see below).
Following values are allways definitely:
adapted: 1 GATE time is allways the time of 1 tick. adapted: 8 GATE time is allways the time of value CLOCK of the sequence.
With “adapted:8” you can play notes without note off (bonded):
