Sound Parameters – Arpeggiator

119 Waldorf Q User’s Manual

never exceed the maximum MIDI velocity 127 or minimum MIDI velocity 1. This means when you

have already played the notes with a high velocity, Arp Accent might not be able to further offset it

positively, so you will only hear differences with negative accent offsets. Vice versa, low velocities

might not be able to be lowered by Arp Accent. The only exception is ÍÍ

ÍÍ

. See the following

description.

• If ÍÍ

ÍÍ

is selected, the current step is actually played, but inaudible. This means that the note

list is advanced by one note, but you are not able to hear it. This feature is the opposite to

Arp Step set to Off, which doesn’t generate any note and therefore doesn’t advance the

note list.

• If ÓÓ

ÓÓ

is selected, the velocity of the current step is not altered. The arpeggio steps are played

back with their original velocity.

• If Arp Accent is set to any positive or negative value, the velocity is raised or lowered

accordingly. Each step adds or subtracts 15 from the original velocity. The following table

gives an overview over all settings with a note that was originally played at velocity 64:

Arp Glide off / ˜

Arp Glide

01[˜˜

˜˜

]

For each step in the arpeggio pattern you can activate the glide effect individually. This gives you the

ability to create the classic "Bass Line" melody character. Make sure that you set up a reasonable glide

effect in the Glide section.

• If off is selected (empty space), the glide effect is disabled for this step.

• If ˜˜

˜˜

is selected (legato symbol), the glide effect is enabled for this step. This means that the

previous note glides to the note that has to be played at this particular position in the

arpeggio.

 Please note that Glide Active in the Oscillators section must be set to Off when you want to

set Arp Glide for individual pattern notes. Otherwise, the glide effect would be on all notes.

Arp Step

This parameter can have a very strong effect on the resulting arpeggio, so you should read the

following paragraphs carefully. Arp Step basically determines which note of the note list is played at

a particular step. You can also force the Arpeggiator to play a whole chord or part of a chord or set it

up to play a random note from the list.

• If * is selected (asterisk symbol), the Arpeggiator plays the step unaltered. The note list is

advanced beforehand, except when you press a new chord.

• If off is selected (empty space), the Arpeggiator plays nothing at this step position. When

Length or Steplen is set to legato, the previous step that isn’t set to Off is still held to

create the legato effect. The note list is not advanced.

• If - is selected, the Arpeggiator plays the same note as it had to play in the previous step

that was set to * or ˆ. With this setting, you can repeat a particular note of the note list

several times. The note list is not advanced.
