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.

“Socialite women meet socialite men and mate and breed socialite children so that we can fund small opera companies and ballet troupes because there is no government subsidy.”
