Retrologue
Arp Page
Vel and Ctrl Sections
The Vel section is where you set up the steps of the arpeggio and specify their
velocities. In the Ctrl sections, you can edit 3 MIDI controller sequences for the
phrase.
The controller lanes create MIDI controllers 110, 111, and 112, which are sent to
the modulation destinations. When you export a recorded sequence, these
controller values are also exported. This means that once you add the exported MIDI
sequence to the sequencer, you can deactivate the arpeggiator and play the notes
and controller values using the sequencer.
N
Even if you deactivate the arpeggiator in Retrologue, its controller lanes are still
available in the modulation matrix and can be used to modify the modulation using
the incoming MIDI controller messages.
