Arpeggiators

Arpeggiators An arpeggiator moves a pattern of notes sequentially over a range of the

keyboard. Xtreme Lead has the unique ability to play a different arpeggiator

on each MIDI channel!

Arpeggiator settings can be deﬁned as part of the preset (using the Arp

parameters in the Edit menu), or globally in the Arpeggiator menu. The

preset and master arpeggiators have the same parameters which we deﬁne

in this chapter.

The Arp ﬁeld in the main screen deﬁnes which arpeggiator settings will be

used. “M” uses the master Arpeggiator settings and on/off status (as deﬁned

in the Arpeggiator menu). “P” uses the preset’s arpeggiator settings and on/

off status (as deﬁned in the Edit menu). Choosing “On” uses the preset’s

arpeggiator settings regardless of whether or not it is turned on in the Edit

menu and Off turns off the arpeggiator regardless of the settings and status

speciﬁed in either menu.

SAVE your Arp setups

and name them using the “Save

Setup” function located in the

Save/Copy menu. See“Saving

Multisetups” on page 197.

All arpeggiators share XL-1’s master clock and its current setting. The

master clock can be XL-1’s internal clock or an external MIDI clock.

Although the arpeggiators use the master clock setting, the tempo divisor

can be unique for each arpeggiator setup.

Arpeggiator modes include up, up/down, forward assign, backward assign,

forward/backward assign and random as well as play Patterns. Patterns are

pre-recorded sequences of notes and rests. All key-on notes play the

pattern. For example, if you play a chord, all the notes in the chord play the

pattern in harmony. Xtreme Lead contains 200 factory patterns and 100

user deﬁnable patterns.
