"An arpeggiator is a device that breaks an incoming chord down into a single note line and repeats the line
rhythmically in accordance with a preset program. This feature is the Gekko's primary function. You can determine the repetition rate, duration of the notes and the tonal range of the generated notes


Arpeggio down: All notes are generated in descending order.

Arpeggio up: All notes are generated in ascending order.

Alternate: All notes are generated alternating in ascending and escending order.

Octave down: Extends the range by the next lower octave.

Octave up: Extends the range by the next higher octave.

1 Octave: Sets the tonal range to one octave.

Gate half: Sets the duration of the note to half the note's value.

Gate double: Sets the duration of the note to twice the note's value.

Legato: Sets the duration of the note to the note’s value.

Clock 1/8: Sets the repetition rate to an 8th note.

Clock 1/16: Sets the repetition rate to a 16th note.

Clock 1/32: Sets the repetition rate to a 32th note.

Tempo down: Reduces the tempo in 1-BPM increments.

Tempo up: Increases the tempo in 1- BPM increments.

120 BPM: Sets the tempo to 120 BPM.

Hold Mode: Switches the Hold Mode on and off. When Hold Mode is activated, the arpeggio continues to play after you release the chord. Once you play another chord, the notes of this chord are arpeggiated"
