Help with arpeggiator - please!

[markythesparky]

I am trying to get my Stage 4 to play a repeating arpeggio pattern using the arpeggiator. However, the way I want it to work is for it to play the notes in a set order every time I play a chord. An example of this is as follows:

If I play a basic Dm chord (D, F & A) AND the arpeggiator is set to up, I would like it to play D F A D F A etc. always starting with the bottom note D. If I hit the chord a few times, sometimes it will start on the D, other times it will start on the F or A

Conversely, if I set the arpeggiator to down, I would like it to start on the top note A every time - A F D A F D etc.

I am not sure if there is a way to solve this but would really appreciate some help if any of you have figured this out.

Thanks, Mark.

Hi Mark,

If you set KB SYNC to on, then the pattern restarts each time you play a chord. Set the pattern length to 3. And play the chord slightly strummed with the note you want first (the D for up, the A for down). It works mostly, but is very sensitive to timing.

Hope this helps. I find the Nord arpeggiator very frustrating. I feel your pain!

Thank you so much for the reply. I have tried setting KB sync to on and playing the initial note first but it is very 'hit and miss unfortunately. I think I will just have to accept that this amazing keyboard cannot accomplish this! I'll just keep my fingers crossed that Nord will fix this with a future update one day.
