F_ARP is an arpeggiator. Not by using a chord though, but creating an arpeggio from a basic note or from the input pitch. There are several ways to decide what arpeggio will be played using a number of knobs, find the list below.

Further there is a 'keyboard' available - set the notes that you want to use in your arpeggio here. The RST led below the keyboard clears the notes. When notes on the keyboard are set, the CHORD, KEY and MODE knobs have no influence.

RST button on mid top resets the arpeggio to the first note The red button-led above RUN plays or stops the arpeggio, while a signal in the input below that can control start/stop from a sequencer for instance. The TO 4/4 button changes tempo so that you have a 5 note arpeggio, it will fit in 4 quarters of the chosen tempo.

The INCL12 button includes an octave note above the root.

The leds 1, 2 or 3 can be clicked to set the range to 1, 2 or 3 octaves

An input connected to the MODES knob allows for modulation of the chosen MODE when no keys on the keyboard are used

The GATE output sends a gate on every note for the duration of GATETIME
