You're going to have a problem getting a response this week from anyone in the biz--there's a big tradeshow.
I've only been able to get the simplest of arps working with Z3ta 1.5, and not in every slot. For instance, an arp that works in slot 152 doesn't work in 151 (I'm making up these numbers--just illustrative).
One feature that would resolve the issue is a MIDI out channel from Zeta, so one can dump an arp to Sonar and see what's what. I use this technique to discover how the arps in my Yamaha synth work, time consuming as it is. A better solution would be documentation of the arps, but I'm not holding my breath for that one!
There doesn't seem to be any logical organization of the existing 120 or so arps in Z3ta as they now stand. Bass arps next to phrase arps next to more bass arps. I believe the arps in Z3ta were more of a 2nd thought add in for marketing than designed as a useful feature.
I know I don't sound it, but I'm a fan of Z3ta and the other RGC synths.
