Creating an Arpeggio

Procedure

  1. 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.

  2. Select the arpeggiator as an insert effect for the track.
  3. Activate the arpeggiator.
  4. On the arpeggiator panel, use the Step Size setting to set the arpeggio speed.
  5. Use the Length setting to set the length of the arpeggio notes.
  6. Set the Key Range parameter to 12.

    This makes the notes arpeggiate within an octave.

  7. 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.

  8. Try the different arpeggio modes by clicking the Play Order buttons.

    The symbols on the buttons indicate the playback order for the notes.
