Page 61: Extension Count
Arpeggiator/Beats Menu Master Arpeggiator Parameters Extension Count The Extension Count parameter speciﬁes how many times the Extension Interval is carried out. With an Extension Count of 0, the arpeggio plays only the notes pressed. With an Extension Count of 1, the arpeggio plays the notes pressed, then plays the same notes (in the same order), trans- posed by the Extension Interval amount.
Page 62: Sync
You can play the preset normally as long as you don’t hold the notes longer than the Pre-Delay. If you do, the arpeggiator starts in. When used in conjunction with multiple arpeggiators or BEATS mode, Pre-Delay allows you to offset the time between the different patterns. MASTER ARPEGGIATOR Pre-Delay 62 E-MU Systems...
Page 63: Duration
Arpeggiator/Beats Menu Master Arpeggiator Parameters Duration This parameter deﬁnes how long the arpeggiator plays before stopping. The Duration is speciﬁed in note values. Therefore if an arpeggio were running at a 16th Note Value and the Duration were set to a whole note, the arpeg- giator would play 16 steps before stopping.
Page 64: Recycle
With Latch mode On, any notes you play remain on until you press them again. Latched notes can be halted by turning Latch off in this screen, or by turning off the Arpeggiator for the channel in the main screen. MASTER ARPEGGIATOR Latch 64 E-MU Systems...
Page 65: Key Range
Arpeggiator/Beats Menu Master Arpeggiator Parameters Key Range Use the Key Range parameter to set the keyboard range for the arpeggiator. Notes inside the range will arpeggiate while notes outside the speciﬁed range will not arpeggiate. Use the Extensions parameters to exceed the upper boundary of the Key Range (see the information about Extensions beginning on page 61).

Arpeggiator/Beats Menu Using a MIDI Interface to Channelize Data Try experimenting with presets and settings. For example: Change presets on one or both of the MIDI channels you are using • (1 & 2). Since each factory preset has different arpeggiator settings, changing the preset not only changes the sound, but the arpeggiator settings as well.

Page 91: Programming Basics
Programming Basics This chapter explains how Xtreme Lead sounds are constructed and contains important background information on how to create your own custom presets. Your initial involvement with Xtreme Lead will most likely be using the existing presets and selecting MIDI channels. While the factory presets are very good, there are some things you will probably want to change eventually, perhaps the LFO speed, the ﬁlter frequency or the attack time.
Page 92: Modulation
(such as Pitch or AmpVol). Modulation sources are simply added algebra- ically— connecting two knobs one set to -100 and the other set to +100 yields a net value of zero. 92 E-MU Systems...
Page 93: Modulation Sources
Programming Basics Modulation Sources Modulation Modulation sources include Envelope Generators, Performance Controllers and Low Frequency Oscillators. In the previous example, an envelope generator Sources was routed to automatically turn the volume control as programmed by the envelope, or, a low frequency oscillator could be routed to turn the volume control up and down in a repeating fashion.

Page 95: Envelope Generators
Programming Basics Envelope Generators Envelope An envelope can be described as a “contour” which is used to shape the sound over time in a pre-programmed manner. There are three envelope Generators generators per layer and all of them are the rate/level type. This is how the rate/level (time based) envelopes work: When a key is pressed, envelope starts from zero and moves toward the Attack 1 Level at the Attack 1 Rate.

Page 99 Programming Basics Clock Modulation LFOs can also be perfectly synchronized with the clock at any of 25 note divisions. This allows you to create very cool “synchro-sonic” effects that work perfectly at any tempo. Choosing one of the note divisors in the LFO rate screen selects the synced LFO function.
