Re: Automating the ProChannel Arpeggiator

Poking around to figure out possible automation of arpeggiator has been a good learning exercise for me. When I have selected a MIDI track I can open track Automation Lanes by clicking on the zigzag button. Among the automation options, we have an item "arpeggiator" with a sub-menu of multiple parameters that can be automated (Arp source mix, Dur, enable/disable arpeggiator, Flam, Octave, Pitch, Rate, Swing, Vel).
However, the Automation Lanes in an Audio track or a "simple instrument" track only show audio parameters to automate (volume, automated mute, pan, PC track EQ settings). Splitting the simple track generates the MIDI track portion with the MIDI automation available, incouding arpeggiator automation.
I think the automation applies to the arpeggiator built in to the track inspector. A separate arpeggiator can be added as a MIDI track effect by right clicking in the effects bin and selecting arpeggiator. At least that is the case in Sonar Platinum.
