Arpeggiator Section
In 1985 synthesizers with built-in sequencing facilities were quite rare; however, the DW-8000 did have a 64-note arpeggiator section. The 64-note memory could be especially useful when the arpeggiator was set to its “assignable” mode. This allowed the arpeggiator to loop round any number of notes up to 64 that the user added to the arpeggio. The arpeggiator can be set to latch so that the sequence continues to play after the user releases the keys, or un-latched; then the sequence will immediately stop when keys are released. A facility to make the arpeggio span one or two octaves, or even the full keyboard can be selected. Finally a tempo slider sits immediately to the left of the arpeggiator controls to control the speed of the arpeggiator sequence.

Famous quotes containing the word section:
“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
