Appendix VI - Patch Change Behaviour

There are 2 options for how ARP behaves when changing patch during playback. Depending on the Patch Change Behaviour menu setting.

  • NON-STOP

  • RETRIGGER.

This setting is useful because we may be changing the patch mid-way through a sequence.

If a sequence is 2 bars long and you change on the 2nd bar, do you want to play the 2nd half or the 1st half of the new sequence?

Example: Given the following sequence:

NON-STOP plays the new patch sequences as if they had been playing since you originally pressed play.

This option is better suited to generative, freeform, and evolving music.

RETRIGGER plays the new patch sequences as if you had just pressed play.

This is better suited for more precise musical genres, where repetition is important.
