Between you and me: you don’t always have to be so strictly analytical. The occasional breaking of the rules

and other such mischief often produces the most interesting music! Anyway, these rules only really apply to

the consistent Arpeggio types like the CS2x’s Up/Down patterns. If you are planning to use more noise ori-

entated sounds or special effects, feel free to experiment as much as you want. After all, if it sounds right,

use it.

Fun to the power of 25!

If all this leaves you cold, you clearly haven’t heard the CS2x’s 25 special Arpgeggio Types (TechnoA to

MuteLine)! First a quick note: all special types don’t lend themselves well to triplet rhythms. The best results

are achieved with a 4/4 beat and a resolution of 1/16, 1/8 or 1/32.

No doubt, a lot can be achieved with these ready made sequences, especially when you have just run out of

good ideas. But what exactly is happening here? In order to utilize these 25 Arpeggio types more effectively

you will need to aquaint yourself with each of their properties.

Put simply, the special Arpeggios add filter and pan position modulation as well as more complex stepping of

rhythm and dynamics to the more straight forward Up/Down Arpeggios. Chord notes, their number and

octave position however are resolved differently from what you might expect. For example, playing a four

note chord with some Arpeggio types will result in only two notes being played in different octaves. We will

demonstrate the properties of the special Arpeggio types with a few exercises. Let’s use a systematic

approach and start with the filter.

EXPERIMENT:

Select Performance TP065 and play any single note. Can you hear the filter modulation already? Well no, of course not.

This shows you that the filter frequency has to be set correctly in order for the filter modulation to have any effect. All you

need to do is turn the Cutoff knob counterclockwise. Now you should hear the filter change across two bars: the cutoff

frequency rises during the first four beats, then drops during the second half at the same rate. This is due to the Arpeggio

Type “Techno-A”!

The CS2x however, boasts a second type – “SweepLine”, here, too, the Arpeggio automatically modulates the filter fre-

quency, raising it after the third quarter, and then dropping again after the third quarter of the second bar. Intrigued? Go

ahead, select Performance TP066 and see for yourself.
