Note Arp
Purpose
Store an 8-step pitch pattern per arpeggiator row, played back at its own length and position against the live major/minor scale tables. Pick a slot on the LHS overview, then write a pitch from the RHS keyboard.
Interaction
LHS LP. 8×8 overview: rows are arp rows (top = row 8 … bottom = row 1), columns are steps 1–8; lit = within arp length, position colour = playing step. Any LHS press selects that row+step for editing, whatever modifier is held. RHS LP: piano-keyboard editor for the selected row, with the scale-degree overlay marking the anchors in slate-grey across its 4 octaves. P1 and P2 edit state is fully independent.
Shortcuts
LHS: overview / length / presets
| Gesture | Where | Action | Modifiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| SHIFT + press (row, col) | LP LHS | Set that row’s arp length to the pressed column (1–8) immediately | shift |
| Double-tap same cell (≤350 ms, no modifier) | LP LHS | Set that row’s arp length to the column | none |
| MUTE + press, cols 2–8 | LP LHS | Load preset arpeggio into all 8 rows of the sequencer: row picks the mode (row 8 UP, then DOUBLE_UP, UP_PEDAL, DOUBLE_UP_PEDAL, DOUB_DOWN_PEDAL, DOWN_PEDAL, DOUBLE_DOWN, row 1 DOWN), column picks the interval (seconds … octaves); the pressed pad flashes lime-yellow for ~1 s | mute |
| Press any cell | LP LHS | Select that row + step for editing (fires under every modifier) | any |
| MUTE + press, col 1 | LP LHS | Reset to init, sequencer-wide: write the canonical diatonic cascade to all 8 rows, zero every row’s length, rebuild the overlay. Destructive, no undo | mute |
RHS: keyboard editor
| Gesture | Where | Action | Modifiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Press a key | LP RHS | Write the resolved pitch into the selected row’s selected step | none |
| Press position 88 | LP RHS | Write a rest (no-note sentinel) into the slot | none |
Whole-view behaviour
| Gesture | Where | Action | Modifiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| SHIFT + MUTE / SHIFT + SOLO | LP grid | No-op: note arp deliberately has no reset/randomise | any |
Scale mode (major/minor) is global, and changing it from the chord options view keeps your arps: notes you played follow the new scale, notes outside it keep their pitch, rests stay rests, and the keyboard overlay does not move (see Chord options view reference).
