Arpeggio player
Plays held or sequenced notes one after another; the encoders set speed, note order, range and hold, and the shift layer adds note length, style, glide and stereo spread.
The OP-XY has changed since TE’s guide was written; this page follows the device.
The arpeggio steps through a chord, played live or sequenced, at the speed of E1, in the order of E2, across the span of E3; hold (E4) keeps it going hands-free. The shift layer adds note length, style, glide and stereo spread. Since the guide, arpeggios ignore the sustain pedal and follow the brain (1.1.17), and a pattern change cuts held notes (1.1.21).
How to
Keep an arpeggio running without holding the keys
before you start the arpeggio player is on for the selected track
- 1 switch hold on
- 2 play the notes, then let go
Details
- TE’s guide
The arpeggio player breaks the notes a track receives into a repeating run, playing them one at a time instead of together.
- TE’s guide
The guide says that both pattern (
E2) and the shift-layer style change the order of the notes, without explaining how the two differ. - TE’s changelog
Notes made by the arpeggio are not passed on to linked tracks.
- TE’s changelog
Since OS 1.1.0, held arpeggio notes still sound when their track is muted.
- TE’s changelog
Since OS 1.1.17, a sustain pedal has no effect on arpeggiated notes.
- TE’s changelog
Since OS 1.1.17, the brain transposes arpeggios along with the rest of the track.
- TE’s changelog
Since OS 1.1.21, moving to another pattern stops any arpeggio notes that were being held.

The arpeggio page shows four boxes in the encoders' greys — a note value for speed, the pattern as a small staircase (or peak, arrow, scattered blocks), a ladder with the octave count for range, and a hand for hold, pale when off and black when on — then a small arrow meaning the page has a shift layer. Under the word arpeggio, fourteen pale blue bars picture the run, one per note, taller for higher notes; a range of 4 over a triad makes a twelve-step staircase.

Speed shows only a note symbol. It runs from a quarter note (slowest) to a 64th (fastest), with triplets among them; there is no number.

With held the boxes change to the shift controls — two tied notes whose tie fills white as the note length grows, the style (the first reads off, the others are small bar charts), a squiggle that darkens from the left as glide rises, and a ring that splits into two as stereo rises.
