[A6] Arp vs. Seq

ARP:
An arpeggiator only play the note names you press in different patterns 
and may octave them.

SEQ:
With the A6 sequencer you could program a short phrase and trigger it 
by pressing a single key. And depending on the key you play, you get 
the phrase transposed. And you can use the sequencer to play kind of 
polyphonic by playing to keys at the same (or different) time. But this 
won't give you real polyphonic phrases. The A6 sequncer is one of the 
rarly found features of other synths. While arpegiators some times are 
more flexible on other synths then the A6.

I hope my non native bad english explenation helps a bit.


keep on turning these knobs
