Change arp clock div using wheel or knob?

Hi, I'm using Firmware 3.1 653, Little Phatty stage 1 and I am wondering how I can change the arp clock divider by using the modulation knob or the mod wheel? Any ideas?

Cheers,

Simon

Anyone? I can't find reference to this in the manual, I did look! Nor in this forum.

Hmm, if you are synced to MIDI clock and running the arpeggiator, I thought the LFO RATE (arp rate) knob would do this (set the clock div). If not, I'll fix it in the next update...

If a fix in the next update needs to happen, I'd like to request that any change made to the LFO rate, when synced to MIDI clock, allows the previous LFO wavelength to finish its cycle before the value changes.
This would allow for realtime lfo speed changes that are still aligned with the beat/grid of a track.

Let me know if that explanation makes sense.

Thanks!

unless you sweep through a Triplet clock division and only complete one or two triplets before switching to a non-triplet division... that can still trip up the rhythm. But I get what you are saying... on the MuRF I even added a "suppress triplets" mode for this very reason...

Cool.
Good catch re: partial triplet divisions.
It would be awesome if that functionality could be developed for the phatty OS.
