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 with a suitable MIDI instrument.

  2. Select Arpache 5 as an insert effect for the track.
  3. On the plug-in panel, use Step Size to set the arpeggio speed.
  4. Use Note Length to set the length of the arpeggio notes.
  5. Set Key Range to 12.

    This makes the notes arpeggiate within an octave.

  6. 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.

  7. Try the different arpeggio modes via the Play Mode buttons.

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