Oh man... as an old rock dinosaur it's kind of against my belief system to use automatic stuff like that but boy oh boy am I excited to try all this stuff out.

Nice!

...and I guess Pete Townsend and Edgar Winters used arpeggiators... therefore it's still cool. ;-p

  Thanks. I also just figured out how to map all this stuff rather painlessly to my controller. Right Click parameter (even the Rate and Octave dropdowns) > Remote Control > > click Learn > Fiddle with a knob on the controller... kabingi! 

Sweet.

hmm... can't seem to get the Latch button to map to my controller properly. The light turns on/off when I press the mapped key but it doesn't stop the arpeggio. It also turns on/off when I press ANY key. This smells buggy.

One of the first questions one might ask is, have you applied all the patches?

Ah, crap. It seems every parameter maps visually (the GUI knobs turn) but the actual values don't change so there is no audible difference. Ugh. So much for that being easy.

From the manual:

Note: Most Arpeggiator parameters can be controlled via MIDI remote control, but automation data can not be recorded into tracks.


Wat?

Bah! This isn't working at all. grr...

You can create envelops to automate the arpeggiator. Only having a very simple MIDI keyboard, I have no experience with what you are trying to do.
