Sound Parameters – ArpeggiatorWaldorf Q User’s Manual 118• If Off is selected, the Note Off message of the previous note is sent right before the nextnote with the same pitch is started.Pattern Reset Off / OnPattern ResetOffWhen all steps of an arpeggio pattern are played back, the pattern is repeated from the beginning sothat the arpeggio is looped. With Pattern Reset, you can decide if the note list is also restarted fromthe beginning when the rhythm pattern is reset.• If Off is selected, the note list is not restarted, so that there is no synchronization betweenrhythm and note list. E.g., when you have a pattern where four steps are set and you playthree notes, the pattern and the note list are repeated differently. The pattern restarts afterthe fourth step while the note list restarts after the third step. The arpeggio might look likethis:Pattern Step 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4Note C1 E1 G1 C1 C1 E1 G1 C1 C1 E1 G1 C1 C1 E1 G1 C1Table 12: Arpeggio with Pattern Reset set to Off• If On is selected, the note list will be restarted as soon as the rhythm pattern is restarted.The same arpeggio might now look like this (note the two C1s in sequence):•Pattern Step 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4Note C1 E1 G1 C1 E1 G1 C1 E1 G1 C1 E1 G1 C1 E1 G1 C1Table 13: Arpeggio with Pattern Reset set to OnPattern Length 1…16Pattern Length16Sets the length of the rhythm pattern.

Note that you can only edit a particular step in the Step Data sectionwhen its position is within the range of the Pattern Length parameter.Arpeggiator Edit Menu Step DataThe following Arpeggiator menus all behave similarly. The left value dial sets the step that should bechanged while the right value dial changes the value of the step according to the possible valuerange. You can only select the steps that are in the range set by Pattern Length. E.g., when you haveset Pattern Length to 8, you can’t change a value of step 9 or above.Arp Accent ÍÍÍÍ, ÎÎÎÎ, ÏÏÏÏ, ÌÌÌÌ, ÓÓÓÓ, ÔÔÔÔ, , ÒÒÒÒArp Accent01[--Ï-Ò------Í----]Sets the accent of a particular step.
