Recording Midi from Audio

In Sonar X2 there is no need to extract MIDI from the arpeggiator. It uses MIDI as well as effect MIDI on a MIDI track. The MIDI it uses is in the form  of ptn files.

The below is from the manual

The arpeggiator lets you play intricate patterns of notes that would otherwise be extremely difficult or
impossible to play manually and at speeds and octave ranges that exist beyond the physical
limitations of the player or keyboard range.
Arpeggiated events are new events that are based on notes that you play on your controller
keyboard. The new events are rhythmically and harmonically specified by the arpeggiator’s preset,
allowing you to “play” an endless variety sophisticated musical passages with simple key pressing.
The most significant capability of the arpeggiator is its ability to apply algorithmic variations on your
input as well as MIDI-based patterns.
In addition to note events, the arpeggiator can send parameter automation such as pan, volume,
and even effects automation for the current track.
Each MIDI and instrument track has its own integrated arpeggiator, visually located in the Track
view. Running multiple arpeggiators across tracks can help realize exciting melodic and rhythmic
textures.
The arpeggiator controls are accessed in the Track Inspector.

Once you have recorded your arp input ..whether it be chords or single notes, simply select the clip, right click and "bounce to clips".. the chords or note inputs will be converted to the arpeggiated output clip.
 
edit: suggest you change title of thread to "recording midi from Arpeggiator".. midi from audio is a different kettle of worms!.

IronAxis,

Melodyne Editor can create MIDI from audio. It's not perfect but at times it can be pretty good. 

I do not know if Melodyne Essentials has this feature but if it does, it's typically a $49 (on sale) solution.

I know there is a way to create midi from audio also. I used it to convert a bad sounding audio kickdrum track into a great sounding sampled one. http://www.cakewalk.com/D...&Req=AudioSnap.15.html

I'm not simply talking about the ableton video that I posted.

The issue is getting sonar to take the notes generated from the arpeggiator and record them as midi.  That's what the video is about and that's my question.  

In my 2nd post I am explaining that with a 3rd party Soft Synth Arpeggiator the arpeggiated notes recorded onto a separate midi track.

This has already been answered.. There is no issue in "getting sonar to take the notes generated from the arpeggiator and record them as midi".. see post #4. The confusion of some forum members who were trying to help you was that your thread title is midi from audio and that is not what you want.
 
Simply record your arpeggiated midi track, click on the clip, right click and "bounce to clips" .. the midi notes/chord forms will disappear and be replaced by the midi arpeggiated pattern.
