The built-in arpeggiator on the Oxygen 25 MKV has controls for Type, Octave, Gate and Swing. These affect anything you are playing on the keys from any virtual instrument in your DAW.
When activating the arpeggiators, you can play the keyboard and it will repeatedly play the keys that are pressed in the selected sequence. The arpeggiator’s timing and rhythm derive from the time-division on the keyboards setting on either the DAW or the Keyboards tempo. This means that each note in the arpeggio will be the length of the time-division setting.
As an example, if you select a 1/4 note time division, each note in the arpeggio will be audible in quarter note increments. To further assist you in unleashing your creativity, the Oxygen 25 MKV offers this powerful tool in both Momentary and Latch Modes.
