Testing the C951 COTK Arpeggiator

"Keying in notes into the arpeggiator´s buffer, then modifying the sequence with the 'stretcch-control' knob, sorry for the sound distortion, the audio level was a bit too much for the built in mike."
"This is a stability and performance test run of the new C951 Arpeggiator (white) . The buffer is big enoung, so I played the notes of three different chords one after the other. This harmonic change can be heard when going through the whole sequence. The intention of the video is not focussed on the C951, but rather shows a complete overview of the system we are using."
