Parameters
when it is turned clockwise the depth of the vibrato will increase when the modulation wheel is
used. The increase is always relative to the position of the Amount knob and will be greater as the
Mod knob is turned clockwise.
The vibrato can be adjusted not to start at the beginning of a note but with a little lag. This
lag is set by the Delay knob. The Fade knob allows you to set the amount of time taken by the
amplitude of the vibrato effect to grow from zero to the amount set by the Amount knob.
The last parameter is used to add liveness to the sound. When several musicians play together,
they do not necessarily start their vibrato exactly at the same time, speed and amplitude. The
Error knob is used to produce this effect by adding an error to the Rate, Amount, Delay and Fade
parameters of the vibrato of each polyphonic voice. As the Error knob is turned clockwise, the
larger will be the difference between the vibrato effect applied to each voice. In its leftmost position
there is no added error and all the voices are played with exactly the same vibrato effect.

The Arpeggiator Module
The Arpeggiator module allows one to play sequentially all the
notes that are played on the keyboard. In other words, arpeggios
are played rather than chords. The modules allows one to produce
a wide range of arpeggios and rhythmic patterns and to sync the
effects to the tempo of an external sequencer.

Arpeggio Patterns
The arpeggio pattern is set by the combination of the value of the
Range, Span and Order controls. The Range control is used to select
the number of octaves across which the pattern will be repeated. When the range is set to 0, there is
no transposition and only the notes currently depressed on the keyboard are played. If set to a value
between 1 and 4 (its maximum value), the notes played are transposed and played sequentially, over
a range of one or more octaves depending on the value of the Range parameter. The direction of
the transposition is set with the Span drop-down menu. This parameter can be adjusted to Low for
downwards transposition, to High for upwards transposition or Wide for transposing both upwards
and downwards. Finally, the Order control sets the order in which the notes are played, therefore
determining the arpeggio pattern. When set to Forward, the notes are played from the lowest to
the highest. When set to Backward the notes will be played from the highest to the lowest. In
the two last modes, Rock and Roll exclusive and Rock and Roll inclusive, the note will be played
forward from the lowest to the highest and then backward from the highest down to the lowest.
When using the RnR exclusive mode, the highest and the lowest notes will not be repeated when
switching direction but in RnR inclusive mode these notes will be repeated.
