Appendix I - List of Default Patches

ARP is pre-loaded with 12 default patches on each bank. These examples show how parameters can affect the sequence.

Tips

- Use a polyphonic synth on MIDI channel 1 or set each arp to a different MIDI OUT channel

- Try setting all arps to 'follow' to hear each arp sequence in turn (see fig 1)

- Switch chords and patches during playback to turn the sequence into a composition

Patch 1 (C) - Basic Quartet

- Set all arps to play simultaneously, the 4 sequences should compliment

Patch 2 (C#) - Direction and Bounce

- Each sequence differs only by the direction and bounce parameters

- Direction and Bounce both define how individual notes are selected from the available notes in the chord or scale

Patch 3 (D#) - Repeat and Jump

- Each arp has different repeat or jump values

- Jump defines the number of notes in the scale that will be skipped between steps

Patch 4 (D) - Time Divisions

- All 4 arps are playing the same sequence but at a different number of divisions per bar

Patch 5 (E) - Triplets & Polyrhythms

- Arps 1 & 2 have a time division of 1 and 4 steps per bar

- Arps 3 & 4 have a division of 3 and 12 steps per bar creating an interesting polyrhythm

- To access triplet timings, increase the Time parameter past 32/1

Patch 6 (F) - Step Offsets

- Arps 2 & 4 are offset from 1 & 3 by two steps. Set 2 and 4 to follow

Patch 7 (F#) - Note Offsets

- Arps 2 & 4 are offset from 1 & 3 by a number of notes, creating harmonies of the same sequence

- The Note parameter has a second option to switch the offSET Mode between scale and chromatic, press the button twice to access

Patch 8 (G) - Note Delay

- Arps 2 & 4 have a Delay value that pushes the notes off the main step

Patch 9 (G#) - Mode - Chords and Pads

- Arps 1 & 2, in Chord Mode, will play all sequence notes simultaneously on each step

- Arps 3 & 4, in Pad Mode, will play only when the Note/Chord is updated

Patch 10 (A) - Rhythm and Groove Patterns

- Arps 1 & 2 have a Rhythm Pattern, affecting note velocity

- Arps 3 & 4 have a Groove Pattern, affecting note timing

Patch 11 (A#) - Modulation

- Arp 1 modulates the Octave parameter. Arp 2 modulates Note Delay

- Arps 3 & 4 have an alternating velocity sweep

Patch 12 (B) - Modulation steps and timing

- Arps 1 & 2 have an alternating modulation on Time Division, causing the number of notes in the bar to change

- Arp 3 has a modulation on the number of steps

- Arp 4 has timing delay increasing over 4 bars
