An arpeggiator generates rhythmic note patterns (arpeggios) from notes or chords. The RPG-8 Arpeggiator doesn’t
generate sound on its own, but has to be connected to another instrument device (just like the Matrix). It works by
converting MIDI note data (input to the RPG-8) to Note CV (pitch) and Gate CV (note on/off plus velocity) signals.
These CV/Gate signals are sent to the corresponding Sequencer Control inputs of an instrument device.
In addition to standard arpeggiator features the RPG-8 is equipped with a 16 step pattern editor for creating rhythmic variations.
The RPG-8 is monophonic and can control one voice in a connected instrument device.

The sequencer is where you record your songs. The sequencer can be used to record audio tracks as well as instrument tracks, performance controllers, parameter automation and pattern automation. You can also arrange your
songs, or parts of your songs, in Blocks. In Blocks mode you can build complete “sections” - consisting of a desired
number of bars and tracks - that can be reused throughout the song. This chapter mainly describes the Song View
and Edit Mode. Functions specific to Blocks and the Blocks View are described in the separate chapter “Working
with Blocks in the Sequencer”.
