Arp

Arpeggiate held notes

When to use it

Place Arp after a chord or held-note source to cycle through held pitches with configurable pattern, rate, and gate.

INFO

Requires clock (internal or external) when sync is enabled.

Parameters

Parameter	Range	What it does
Bypass	0 – 1	When on, the device is disabled and MIDI passes through unchanged.
Rate	0 – 6	Clock division for each step — how fast the pattern advances.
Gate	10 – 200	Note length as a percentage of the step (10–200%).
Chord	-2 – 2	Adds parallel notes above each held pitch (−2 to +2 diatonic steps).
Octave	-5 – 5	Shifts the arpeggio pitch range by octaves (−5 to +5).
Repeat	0 – 16	How many times the arpeggio pattern cycles (0 = until release).
Re-Trig	0 – 9	Restarts the arpeggio pattern on this clock division or on each new note.
Sync	0 – 1	When on, rate follows MIDI clock; when off, uses async milliseconds.
Style	0 – 17	Arpeggio order and articulation pattern across held notes.
Async Rate	50 – 1000	Step period in milliseconds when sync is off (50–1000 ms).

Parameter values

Bypass

Value	Name	Meaning
0	Off	Device is active and processes MIDI.
1	On	Device is bypassed; messages pass through unchanged. When bypass turns off, any notes that were forwarded while bypassed are sent NoteOff downstream so later devices do not keep sounding them.

Rate

Value	Name	Meaning
0	1/1	One note per bar (quarter-note grid).
1	1/2	Half-note steps.
2	1/4	Quarter-note steps.
3	1/8	Eighth-note steps.
4	1/16	Sixteenth-note steps.
5	1/32	Thirty-second-note steps.
6	1/64	Sixty-fourth-note steps.

Re-Trig

Value	Name	Meaning
0	Off	Pattern runs once per held chord.
1	Note	Restart pattern on every new note.
2	8 bars	Restart every 8 bars.
3	4 bars	Restart every 4 bars.
4	2 bars	Restart every 2 bars.
5	1 bar	Restart every bar.
6	1/2	Restart every half note.
7	1/4	Restart every quarter note.
8	1/8	Restart every eighth note.
9	1/16	Restart every sixteenth note.

Sync

Value	Name	Meaning
0	FREE	Use async time (ms) instead of clock divisions.
1	SYNCED	Step rate follows MIDI clock divisions.

Style

Value	Name	Meaning
0	Up	Lowest to highest note, repeating.
1	Down	Highest to lowest note, repeating.
2	Up-Down	Ascend then descend without repeating endpoints.
3	Down-Up	Descend then ascend without repeating endpoints.
4	Up & Down	Ascend and descend, repeating top and bottom.
5	Down & Up	Descend and ascend, repeating top and bottom.
6	Converge	Outside notes move inward.
7	Diverge	Inside notes move outward.
8	Conv-Div	Converge then diverge.
9	Pinky Up	Start from lowest, pinky-finger pattern up.
10	Pinky Up-Down	Pinky up pattern with return.
11	Thumb Up	Start from highest, thumb-finger pattern down.
12	Thumb Up-Down	Thumb up pattern with return.
13	Order	Order notes were played.
14	Velocity Up	Sort by velocity, ascending.
15	Velocity Down	Sort by velocity, descending.
16	Chord Trigger	All notes together each step.
17	Random	Random order each cycle.
