For more information on using with the Step Sequencer, see HOLD MODE. (This control is the same as the HOLD button in the main control panel.) • Arpeggio Hold is handy when trying out different Arpeggio Types or Subdivide settings, and is literally indispensable for tweaking the tone generator parameters for your arpeggios with the Controllers. • SPLIT POINT Range: C-2 ... G8 The Split Point setting effectively “splits” the keyboard into left and right sections for the Pattern Generator feature, by determining the note that divides the two sections. This allows you to trigger an arpeggio or sequence pattern with your left hand and play normally with your right hand in real time, while the pattern is playing back. The use of a “split” keyboard is also affected by the Keyboard Mode setting. Clicking on the SPLIT POINT value window displays the pop-up note name chart (C-2 ... C8). Click the desired note name to change the Split Point. • TEMPO Settings: MIDI, 40 ... 240 The Tempo setting determines the tempo for the PLG150-AN’s internal clock in beats per minute (BPM), between a range of 40 and 240 BPM. The Tempo setting controls both Arpeggio and Step Sequencer playback. • When Tempo is set to “MIDI,” the PLG150-AN’s clock can be controlled by the clock of an external MIDI device such as a music sequencer, connected to the MIDI [IN] terminal. • When the Free EG Length parameter is set to one of the “bar” values, the Free EG sequence will be synchronized with the Tempo set here. 63 Parameters / PATTERN GENERATOR Window Parameters / PATTERN GENERATOR Window SWING Settings: 50 ... 83% The Swing parameter lets you apply a Swing rate to the Step Sequencer pattern to slightly shift certain beats in order to create a “swing” feel. (Swing is not available for the Arpeggio.) A setting of “50%” produces no Swing and “83%” produces maximum Swing. For information about how the Swing levels affect the rhythm of the pattern, see the illustration below. • VELOCITY Settings: R.time (Real-time), 1 ... 200% This determines the ratio between the lower and higher velocity values of the Arpeggio or Step Sequencer pattern, over a range between 1% and 200%. A setting of “100%” maintains the original velocity relationship between the notes. Lower values adjust velocities downward at playback, and higher values adjust velocities upward at playback. A setting of “R.time” (Real-time) will cause the velocity values of the pattern to be determined by the velocity at which you play the keyboard, in relation to the VCA Velocity Sensitivity and FEG Velocity Sensitivity setting. • GATE TM (Gate Time) Settings: 1 ... 200% This is an offset contol and determines the note length of the notes of the Step Sequencer, making all notes either shorter or longer, as a percentage of the original. (Gate Time is not available for the Arpeggio.) This lets you, for example, set the note to play staccato, so that its sound switches off well before its step time is over. Or you can have the note hold right up to the start of the subsequent step so that it slurs (legato) into the next note. A setting of “100%” maintains the original relationship between notes. Lower values decrease the Gate Time, and higher values increase it. • When the combined value of any individual note’s Gate Time (as set from the Gate Time Bank knobs) and the offset Gate Time (set here) exceeds 100%, the note is played legato. 64 Parameters / PATTERN GENERATOR Window Parameters / PATTERN GENERATOR Window The Arpeggio parameters only are in effect when the ARPEGGIO switch (in the main control panel) is turned on. Also, in the Pattern Generator Window, the ARPEGGIO button should be clicked so that the Arpeggio is selected. (You should also make sure that the ON/OFF switch in the COMMON block is on.) • TYPE Settings: A total of 30 types are available. For a complete list of the Arpeggio Types, see the PLG150-AN Owner’s Manual. This determines the type of Arpeggio pattern. • SUBDIVIDE Settings: This determines the timing subdivision (resolution) value for the Arpeggio pattern. This function supports a wide variety of note values, including triplets. • KEYBOARD MODE Settings: Chord, Chord & Normal The Keyboard Mode setting designates how the Arpeggio patterns respond to notes played on the MIDI keyboard (as described below). Chord: Arpeggiated chords can be played across the entire keyboard. Chord & Normal: Arpeggiated chords can be played by keys to the left of the current Split Point, and you can play normally to the right. 65 Parameters / PATTERN GENERATOR Window Parameters / PATTERN GENERATOR Window The Step Sequencer parameters only are in effect when the SEQ switch (in the main control panel) is turned on. Also, in the Pattern Generator Window, the STEP SEQ button should be clicked so that the Step Sequencer is selected. Pattern Common Parameters (for both Voice Pattern and User Pattern) • KEYBOARD MODE Settings: Normal, NoteShift & Normal, PtnSel & Normal, PtnSel & NoteShift The Keybo...
