Creating an Arpeggio
Procedure
- Select a MIDI track and activate monitoring (or record enable it) so that you can play through the track.
Make sure that the track is properly set up for playback to a suitable MIDI instrument.
- Select the arpeggiator as an insert effect for the track.
- Activate the arpeggiator.
- On the arpeggiator panel, use the Step Size setting to set the arpeggio speed.
- Use the Length setting to set the length of the arpeggio notes.
- Set the Key Range parameter to 12.
This makes the notes arpeggiate within an octave.
- Play a chord on your MIDI instrument.
Now, instead of hearing the chord, you hear the notes of the chord played one by one, in an arpeggio.
- Try the different arpeggio modes by clicking the Play Order buttons.
The symbols on the buttons indicate the playback order for the notes.
