Description

The Cyclone is a full featured midi arpeggiation device. Arpeggiation modes include: As recorded, Fixed, All (chord/cluster), Proportional, and random. The order of notes played include forward, backward, back for forward, forward then back, up (note # order), down, up then down, down then up, and random notes. 

Rhythms can be as played, pulsed, tuplet, live single, or poly trigger. The Cyclone can separate pitches from rhythms allowing effects like recording a rhythm and using that rhythm to arpeggiate notes from the keyboard, including chords and rests. 

Timing can be internal (& tap tempo), external triggers or midi clock. Arpeggiations can be transposed and doubled as well.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
