If both an arpeggiator and sequence mode are selected, the arpeggiator gets the notes to play from the
recorded sequence using the held notes as transpositions for sequence playback – just like with a
sequence only mode; however, the range and UP

might be the most difficult concept to understand about the Europa arpeggiator, but play with it – it is
easier to understand by playing with it than reading about it.

Arpeggio note calculator
The arpeggio note calculator takes the note to play
from the sequence step calculator and/or the arpeggio
step calculator. It uses the RANGE
RANGERANGE
RANGE, octave, legato,
and number of repeats as influence to decide which
note to play next. The arpeggio note calculator will
also transpose the note if necessary. If local mode is
disabled, the arpeggiated notes are transmitted over
MIDI only. Internal voices are not used. If local mode
is enabled, the arpeggiated notes are sent to the local
voices, and only the physically played notes on the
keyboard are transmitted over MIDI.

Europa’s user interface employs “supermodes”. That is, the meaning of various buttons changes
depending upon what other buttons are held. The arpeggiator settings, above and beyond the Roland
code’s arpeggiator settings, are accessed by holding arpeggiator related buttons (up

up, down

Each of the aforementioned buttons will perform their original function as it would operate in the Roland
code. With Europa, pressing the button and holding it for more than one second will enable one of three
supermodes – all of which have options that are settable in the A

solid LED indicates that particular option is enabled. An unlit LED indicates no settable option.

at any time. The synchronization source is applicable to both arpeggiators (if in SPLIT
