ImpOSCar3 Arp, Chord, Bend and Performance Controls.webp

Arpeggiator

Mode Selection Windows

The impOSCar3 arpeggiator contains five modes. Off, Up, Down, Up and Down, and Random.

Order (Pitch and Play) Buttons

These buttons determine in which order the arpeggiator plays the notes.

Pitch Order Mode: the notes included are played in pitch order.
Play (Played) Order Mode: the notes are played in the order they were originally played.

<aside> ⚠️ In Play Order Mode, if your Octave and Note Order is Random, the Pitch/Play Order Mode switch would normally have no function.

In this case, it’s used to decide whether you arpeggiate one octave (play ‘n’ notes randomly, where ‘n’ is the number held down, though you could end up repeating some and missing others because it’s random) and then change octaves, or change octaves randomly after every note.

</aside>

Octave Shift (OCT Mode) Windows

With the Octave Shift windows determine in which order the Octave Shift plays: Up, Down, Up and Down, and Random.

NB: If none of the Octave Shift buttons are selected, this windows has no impact on the arpeggiator.

Octave Shift (OCT Mode) Buttons

There are three-octave shift switches that allow adding -1 Octave, +1 Octave and +2 Octaves to the notes that form your arpeggiation. You can select any or all of these transpositions. The order in which these octave shift are play can be selected with the Octave Shift (OCT Mode) Windows (see above).

Rate Knob

The Selected Parameter window shows the tempo rate as Beats Per Bar.
