Multi-Channel
Arpeggiator
MK-6 is totally amazing in its ability to run up to 16 arpeggiators at once!
Even two or three patterns at once can create very complex sequences and
dynamic landscapes of sound.
Here’s one way to access this ultra-powerful feature. There is one arpeg-
giator for each MIDI channel. First you’ll assign three of the Trigger Keys to
MIDI channels 01-03. Next, you’ll assign arpeggiator presets to these
channels. Then you’ll become addicted to this new way of making music.
