Major to A minor In other words the MAP1 is able to dis tinguish between Major and minor key arpeggios L UP latch up means that the arpeggio is played from the lowest note to the highest note and then begins again at the lowest note keeping in mind that there might be an additional octaved arpeggio to be played Lam latch down is the opposite of L Ur in that the arpeggio is played from the highest note to the lowest Lug is a combination of L UP and L da in which the arpeggio is first played from the lowest to the highest note and then back down from the highest note to the lowest after which the entire process begins again Style UP dn Udn Udr up down up and down up and down rhythmic These are the classic arpeggio styles as found in older synthesizers UP plays an arpeggio from the lowest note to the highest note on from the highest note to the lowest while Uga alternates between UP and da The Style Ud is like Uda with the change that the pauses between the notes in the arpeggio varies Style UP dn Udn Udr up down up and down up and down rhythmic When a period is displayed in the last position of the display that the notes of the arpeggio have variable lengths The lengths are generated randomly by the MAP1 Also when an arpeggio of this type is held via the Hold button the arpeggio does not cease immediately when the Hold function is released but instead plays until
