Arpeggiator: A Box full of Tricks for all Occasions

The CS2x Arpeggiator is very clearly laid out. It consists of only three parts: Type, Tempo and Subdivide. In

addition, the CS2x outshines itself with 2 further settings which you should get aquainted with early on.

One of these is the Hold function

, which can be activated by pressing both buttons on the left hand side

above the LC-Display. This function greatly aids relaxation during live performances, as it has since its earli-

est incarnation; you need to play a chord only once; the Arpeggiator play will repeat it tirelessly for you. This

frees both hands for other tasks and can, amongst other things, be very “handy” for trying out different

arpeggios or sequencer sounds!

With the aid of the Arpeggiator Split

function you can limit the Arpeggio key range to notes below the C3 key

(see section “Performance Mode

”

; “Arpeggiator Split” in the manual). Notes above this point can then be

used for accompanying fills, perhaps using a different sound altogether.

Illustration: Arpeggiator Uses at a Glance

EXAMPLE:

We have prepared two sounds for this which can be found in the Tutorial Bank. To start with, call up Performance TP058.

Now trigger the Arpeggiator using a single key below C3. The sequence will keep on running, even after you have let go

of the key thanks to the activated Hold function. You can still use both hands to play chords or fills on any of the keys

above the Split point – go on, try it!

You need to be careful however when using Split Performances, as the Arpeggiator will distribute any chord notes over

the entire note range, regardless of which sounds will be played. In other words, if you are using two different sounds

split across they keyboard, it’s quite possible that the Arpeggiator will mix up both sounds! Performance TP059 is a good

example of this. Here a Rhodes sound used above the split point that has suffered in the process. Tip: If you want to

ensure that the Arpeggiator only triggers the sound below the split point, use the following Arpeggio types: UpOct1,

DwnOct1/ 2/4, UpDwA/BOct1 as well as Random Oct.

Now let’s look at the three main functions. To begin with, you can select any of the 40 available Arpeggio Pat-

terns. These can broadly be divided into separated chords and special patterns that vary in sound color,

dynamics or rhythm. The second function is all about tempo. If you want to use the Arpeggiator with a drum

machine or sequencer and wish to be able to react to any tempo changes or drifting, set this to MIDI. This

instructs the CS2x to wait for an external “director” via the so-called MIDI Clock Pulses.

There are three things you should bear in mind: First, check that your sequencer can actually send MIDI

Clock commands. If you can’t hear an Arpeggio Part, the most likely explanation is that MIDI Clock

is dis-

abled in your sequencer program, so always check to make sure it’s enabled.
