Tremolo + Arp p a g e .

Tremolo + arp control: Rate knob with different host tempo synced speeds from 1/4 to 1/64 and a Free mode that activates

the Speed knob (on the right), so you can dial in a free tempo not dependent on the host. The Tremolo + arp menu lets you activate either tremolo, or an arpeggio pattern. It can also be controlled by keyswitch, where C1 =Off, C#1=Tr em olo, D1 = Up, D#1= Down, E1= Up and Down, F1=Down and Up. Note that arpeggio sounds t h e s a me a s tr e m o lo when only one note is held;to take effect, the arpeggio requires at least two held notes. Tremolo + arp On/Off i s a l so controllable by Sustain Pedal (CC64), which when pressed will activate the most recently used tremolo/arp mode. Accelerate/Decelerate mode button, also controllable by keyswitch F#1 (accelerate) and G1 (decelerate). The Accelerate/Decelerate effect determines the effect of the modwheel (CC1) on the t r em o l o and arpeggio. Therefore, it only works if the Tremolo + arp is o n. When Tremolo + arp is off, raising the modwheel will introduce a vibrato effect.

Tremolo + arp humanize: Timing, Velocity & Tuning control knobs fo r a dead tight (0%) to more human randomization (10 0% )

of these characteristics of the Tr emo lo and Arpeggio. If Tr e mo l o + arp is off, these knobs have no effect.
