Arp / Step (in-app purchase)

On the Arp/Step page, you can find Micrologue’s arpeggio section, which is available as in-app purchase.
Step On/Off switches
Activate/Deactivate the steps.
Pitch
Displays the transpose value fields under the steps, which can be changed individually.
Vel/Length
The Vel/Length section is where you set up the steps of the arpeggio and specify their velocities.
The height of a step represent its value. The width of a step represents its gate length.
To make changes, tap a step and drag up or down, and/or move it to the left or right.
Legato
The Legato buttons below the step buttons allow you to introduce a legato between 2 steps.
Arp On/Off
Activates/Deactivates the arpeggiator.
Mode
Determines how the notes are played back.
  • If Step is selected, the last note that is received triggers a monophonic sequence.
  • If Chord is selected, the notes are triggered as chords.
  • If Up is selected, the notes are arpeggiated in ascending order.
  • If Down is selected, the notes are arpeggiated in descending order.
  • If Up/Down 1 is selected, the notes are arpeggiated first in ascending, then in descending order.
  • If Up/Down 2 is selected, the notes are arpeggiated first in ascending, then in descending order. This mode depends on the set Key Mode.
  • If Key Mode is set to Sort, the highest and the lowest note are repeated.
  • If Key Mode is set to As Played, the first and the last note are repeated.
  • If Down/Up 1 is selected, the notes are arpeggiated first in descending, then in ascending order.
  • If Down/Up 2 is selected, the notes are arpeggiated first in descending, then in ascending order. This mode depends on the set Key Mode.
  • If Key Mode is set to Sort, the highest and the lowest note are repeated.
  • If Key Mode is set to As Played, the first and the last note are repeated.
  • If Random is selected, the notes are arpeggiated in random order.
Restart Mode
  • If this is set to Off, the phrase runs continuously and does not restart at chord or note changes.
  • New Chord restarts the phrase on new chords. Note: The phrase does not restart upon notes that are played legato.
  • New Note restarts the phrase with each new note that you play.
Trigger Mode
Determines at which moment the arpeggiator scans for new notes that you play on the keyboard.
  • If Immediately is selected, the arpeggiator scans for new notes all the time. The phrase changes immediately in reaction to your playing.
  • If Next Beat is selected, the arpeggiator scans for new notes at every new beat. The phrase changes in reaction to your playing on each new beat.
  • If Next Measure is selected, the arpeggiator scans for new notes at the start of new measures. The phrase changes in reaction to your playing on each new measure.
Key Mode
Defines whether the order in which the notes are played on the keyboard affects the playback of the phrase.
  • If Sort is selected, the notes are played in the order of the selected pattern. The chronological order does not have any influence.
  • If As Played is selected, the notes are played in the order in which you play them on the keyboard.
Octave
Extends the phrase playback to include higher or lower octaves. Positive settings extend the playback to higher and negative settings to lower octaves.
Loop
If this option is activated, the phrase plays in a loop.
Hold
Allows you to prevent the phrase from stopping or changing when the keys are released.
If Off is selected, the phrase changes as soon as you release a key. The phrase stops immediately when you release all keys.
If On is selected, the phrase plays to the end, even if the keys are released. If Loop is activated, the phrase repeats continuously.
Sync
Synchronizes the phrase to the tempo of Cubasis.
Tempo/Tempo Scale
Defines the rate at which notes are triggered, that is, the speed at which the phrase is running. In addition to the Tempo parameter, this gives you further control over the playback speed. You can specify a value in fractions of beats. You can also set dotted and triplet note values.
For example, if you change the Tempo Scale setting from 1/16 to 1/8, the speed is cut in half. If you set it to 1/32, the speed is doubled. Other values increase or decrease the speed accordingly.
Swing
Shifts the timing of notes on even-numbered beats. This way, the phrase gets a swing feeling. Negative values shift the timing backward, and the notes are played earlier. Positive values shift the timing forward, and the notes are played later.
Gate Scale
Allows you to shorten or lengthen the notes of the phrase. At a value of 100 %, the notes play with their original gate length.
Lock Steps
Allows to lock the Arp page to play the same arpeggio for different sounds.
Copy / Paste Steps
Allows to copy the current Arpeggiator steps, to paste them to another Micrologue preset.
Reset Steps
Reset the arpeggiator section to default settings.
