CORNFIELD ELECTRONICS Arpology Manuals

1 Arpology A 4‐voice arpeggiating synth, with an auto‐improvisation feature. How to use: 1) Press a piano key and Arpolgy will play a 4-voice appegiating pattern based on what note you are pressing. 2) To shift the keyboard up an octave tap the right button. To shift the keyboard down an octave tap the left button. 3) Arpology uses two separate User Interface (U/I) "frames." A U/I frame determines which parameters are controlled by the onboard pots. The two U/I frames for Arpology are: 1) The Envelope Frame (BLUE LED is on) Top Pot controls envelope attack Bottom Pot controls envelope decay/sustain. 2) The Arpeggiator Frame (RED LED is on) Top Pot selects arpeggiation pattern. Bottom Pot controls arpeggiation rate. 4) To switch between U/I frames, press the left or right buttons. Pressing the right button selects the Envelope Frame. Pressing the left button selects the Arpeggiator Frame. 5) To activate the automatic improvisor double-tap the left button. Arpology now "plays itself." The LED for the current frame will begin flashing, indicating that the auto-improvisor is on. While the auto-improvisor is on, Arpology will not respond to key presses. To turn off the auto-improviser double-tap the left button again.
