Selecting any keyboard key will temporarily transpose the entire pattern until the key selection is changed.

With this function, the low C key represents the neutral setting, meaning the notes played will be exactly

those contained in the pattern. Pressing a key other than the low C key will transpose each step in the

pattern by the number of half-steps that separate the chosen key from low C. For example, pressing [G]

will transpose the entire pattern up by seven half-steps.

The DUAS keys are available for ‘live tricks’ while playing patterns. The effects of the DUAS keys are

momentary in this mode. Their effects are described in Lesson 6.

Tip! The Live Performance features from Lesson 10 also apply in Track Play mode.

Lesson 11 The Bass Bot Arpeggiator

The Bass Bot’s arpeggiator is unlike any other synthesizer arpeggiator on the planet. Arpeggiator mode

maintains the Bass Bot’s focus on patterns. Your patterns are the foundation of the Bass Bot’s arpeggiator.

It’s a powerful tool for making expressive variations of your patterns, particularly during a live performance.

There are three factors that determine the output of the arpeggiator:

1. One

(

or more

)

the patterns in Use

Pattern memor

will serve as the basis o

the arpe

iator.

The arpeggiator will use this pattern to determine the rhythm, length and timing of the loop, which

steps are active and which are rests, and the Up, Down, Accent, and Slide characteristics of each

step in the pattern.

2. Use the Bass Bot’s ke

board to select which pitches are active. Much like a standard arpe

iator,

the Bass Bot will cycle through the active pitches over and over. Unlike a standard arpeggiator,

keys do not need to be held in order for them to be active. Instead, pitches can be toggled on and

off at any time.

3. The arpe

iator has four note order settin

s: Up

(

lowest to hi

hest

)

,Down

(

hest to lowest

)

Up/Down (lowest to highest, then back to lowest), and Random. The note order is toggled using

the [WRITE/NEXT] key.

The best way to get acquainted with Arpeggiator mode is to try it.

1. Set the Mode switch to Arpeggiator mode (“ARPEG”).

2. Select a pattern usin

the usual techniques. Note that

ou are selectin

patterns from Use

Pattern memory. Preset memory is not available in arpeggiator mode.

3. Now

ou must select at least one note to be active. Press [PITCH MODE]. You’ll see that none o

the panel’s key LEDs are on, indicating that all notes are currently inactive. Choose a note from

the keyboard and press its button. Its LED should now be on.

4. Press [RUN/STOP]. You should now hear the selected pattern playing. Because only one note is

active, you’ll notice that it’s playing only a single pitch instead of the pattern’s normal set of pitches.

Toggle other notes and you’ll hear the arpeggiator cycle through the selected notes while keeping

the underlying rhythm of the selected pattern.

5. Chan

e the note orde

the arpe

iator. Press [WRITE/NEXT] to c

cle throu

hthefou

note

orders. The Up and Down LEDs will illuminate to show the note order while pressing the

Write/Next button. See the table below:

6. While the arpeggiator is running, press [PITCH MODE] to toggle between the pattern selection

function and the active note selection function. The arpeggiator display reverts to the pattern

selection function when the arpeggiator is stopped. It enters the active note selection function

when the arpeggiator begins running.
