45 DeepMind 6 User Manual 8.1.3 ARP ON/OFF SWITCH • The ON/OFF switch in the ARP/SEQ section turns the ARPEGGIATOR function ON and OFF. When the ARPEGGIATOR is switched ON and you hold down one or more keys, the ARPEGGIATOR will start playing. When you release all keys, the ARPEGGIATOR will stop playing. 8.1.5 ARP RATE FADER ARPEGGIATOR ON/OFF Note: The ON/OFF switch only affects the ARPEGGIATOR, it does not affect the CONTROL SEQUENCER. • The default ON/OFF setting is OFF. 8.1.4 TAP/HOLD SWITCH • The RATE fader controls the Master BPM RATE of the ARPEGGIATOR. The Master BPM is also used by the CONTROL SEQUENCER and in any parameters which can be linked to the Master BPM, such as the LFO, Envelopes, and some Effect parameters. • Decreasing the fader value will make the Master BPM RATE slower, and increasing the value will make it faster as shown below: MASTER BPM (RATE) FAST TAP=FLASH MED HOLD=ON SLOW The TAP/HOLD switch has two functions: • TAP - When you strike the TAP switch successively, the DeepMind 6 will calculate the Master BPM value from the tempo of your tapping. After 5 taps the BPM will update to the tempo of your tapping. The BPM is calculated on an average of the last 5 taps, so you can continue tapping until you feel the displayed tempo is correct. • The Master BPM RATE range is from 20.0 to 275.0 BPM, and the default value is 120.0 BPM. • The fader position, current value and stored value for the ARP RATE fader is shown on the PROG screen. There is also a visualization of the ARP RATE as shown below: Note: If you are using an external sync source, the TAP/HOLD switch will flash at the rate of the external source. The supported TAP TEMPO range for both internal and external sources is from 20.0 to 275.0 BPM • HOLD - When you press and hold the TAP/HOLD switch for more than 1 second, the switch is illuminated and HOLD mode is active. In this mode when you press any key it will be held on and the ARPEGGIATOR will continue playing. If you press a key and hold it down, you can add other notes to the ARPEGGIATOR. Once you release all keys the ARPEGGIATOR will continue to play until you press another key. Note: The HOLD switch can also be used without the ARPEGGIATOR function. When the ARPEGGIATOR is off and the HOLD switch is pressed, it will hold any played notes in their SUSTAIN phase of all ENVELOPEs. This can be useful during sound design when you want to work on the sustained content of a program and operate the surface controls with both hands. To turn HOLD mode off, press and hold the TAP/HOLD switch again for more than 1 second, the light will turn off, and the HOLD mode will no longer be active. The default HOLD setting is OFF.
