Direction. The Direction parameter determines the direction or pattern of the arpeggiated notes. The held notes can be played forward, backward in an alternating forward/backward order or randomly. This setting also affects the order of the octave extensions.
v To Set the Arpeggiator Direction:
•Press the Direction button (F3) repeatedly until the desired direction is displayed on the screen. See the illustration at left for a description of the direction display.
Division. The speed of the arpeggiator is determined by both the tempo and the tempo divisor. The following divisors are available: 1/2 note, 1/2 note triplet, 1/4 note, 1/4 note triplet, 1/8 note, 1/8 note triplet, 1/16 note, 1/16th note triplet, 1/32 note, 1/32 note triplet. The division is particularly useful if you are synced to an external MIDI clock.
Triplets. Access the arpeggiator from Multimode and turn Triplets On. Triplets will remain on even if you switch back to Omni or Poly modes.
Tempo. The Tempo parameter, used with the Division parameter, determines the speed of the arpeggiator. There are two ways of defining the arpeggiator tempo; by entering it numerically or by using the Tap Tempo feature.
v To Enter the Tempo Numerically:
1.Press the Tempo function key (F5) to access the Arpeggiator Tempo screen.
2.Place the cursor over the tempo field and enter the desired tempo using the Data Entry Control, INC/DEC buttons or the Numeric Keypad.
3.Press Done (F1) or OK (F6) to return to the main Arpeggiator menu from the Tempo submenu. If you changed the status of the Sync function, it will be saved to EEPROM.

v To use the Tap Tempo function:
1.Press the Tempo function key (F5) to access the Arpeggiator Tempo screen.
2.Tap the F4 button at the desired tempo at least four times to define a new tempo. After the first four taps, the tempo updates the average tempo with each subsequent tap.
3.Press Done (F1) or OK (F6) to return to the main Arpeggiator menu from the Tempo submenu. If you changed the status of the Sync function, it will be saved to EEPROM.
You can control the ReSync! Resets the Arpeggiator clock at the exact moment the Resync arpeggiator using an external button is pressed. This lets you synchronize with another beat as you play,

Introduction
Keyboard Modes
O On a split keyboard, the Arpeggiator will play on the preset that was selected when the arpeggiator was turned on.
From Multi mode, the Arpeggiator window appears as shown below. The functions are identical.
Keyboard Modes
The keyboard modes are receiver functions, processing MIDI (or keyboard action on an E4K or E-Synth Keyboard) and are designed as easy to use performance features.
v To Access the Keyboard Modes:
1. Press the Mode function key (F6). A new set of function keys appears.
Whole
Normal mode where the keyboard is not split or layered. This button puts EOS in Omni or Poly Mode.
Layer
This mode places both presets across the entire keyboard at once. Selection and Transpose operate exactly the same as in Split mode. See Split.
Split
The preset assigned to the MIDI Basic channel is placed on the lower half of the keyboard and the preset assigned to the Basic channel + 1 is placed on the upper split (for details about the Basic Channel and how to set it, see “Basic Channel” on page 103).

Pan ADDS to the pan setting made in the voice and is not an absolute pan setting.
The optional MIDI channel expander card allows 32 channel operation on older EOS machines having a single MIDI input port. This option is standard on E4X, E4XT Ultra and E-Synth Ultra.
O Omni mode plays only the currently selected preset from any MIDI channel.
Multi
Multimode allows the Emulator to respond to multiple MIDI channels at once allowing you to play multiple MIDI channels simultaneously. For detailed information and instructions on operating in Multimode, see Multimode on page 106.
v Selecting Multi Mode:
• Press the Mode function key (F6) to turn on Multimode and display the Multi mode screen. See the following illustration.
v To Change Channel Settings in Multimode:
1.Press the View function key to select MIDI Mix view. The MIDI Mix screen displays and defines the preset, volume, pan settings and output assignments for up to 32 MIDI channels.
This is useful for fine tuning multi-timbral sequences. This screen also lets you override the output channel programmed in the voice. Any volume, pan and preset changes made over MIDI are reflected in this display.
•Volume = MIDI continuous controller channel #7
•Pan = MIDI continuous controller channel #10
2.Select the desired MIDI channel using the up/down cursor buttons.
3.Select preset, volume, pan or the output assignment using the left/right cursor buttons. Change the parameter values using the Data Entry Control, the INC/DEC buttons, or the numeric keypad.
v To Return to Omni or Poly Mode:
1.Press the Arrow function key (F6).
2.Press the Mode function key (F6).
3.Press the Whole function key (F1).
