Microfreak/UG/12 Arpeggiator/03 Arpeggio Rate
12.3 Arpeggio Rate
- Rate sets the arpeggio speed. With Sync off, the display shows BPM; the default is 120 BPM, and the Arpeggiator runs independently of internal or external clock.
- With Sync on, the Arpeggiator follows the internal clock and Rate selects a time division. For example, 1/2 gives each note a two-beat duration; 1/4 gives quarter notes, or four notes per measure.
- Available divisions:
- 1 whole note
- 1/2 note and 1/2 note triplet
- 1/4 note and 1/4 note triplet
- 1/8 note and 1/8 note triplet
- 1/16 note and 1/16 note triplet
- 1/32 note and 1/32 note triplet
- A 1/4 division corresponds to a standard metronome tick.

12.3.1 Using Sync
- Sync coordinates the timing of modules or connected instruments. The MicroFreak can sync to a DAW or external synthesizer, with Rate setting divisions such as double speed or half speed.
- The LFO, Arpeggiator, and Sequencer can sync to the clock. Their synchronized rhythms can add accents and rhythmic shifts.
