8.1 Arpeggiator
Each synth clip contains an arpeggiator. The arp settings are contained in the voice section of the sound editor parameters. An arp automatically steps through a sequence of notes and across octaves in a pre-defined way. By default the arp is off for most factory synth presets, and new synth instruments created.
