I'm lost too.  I understand the output is midi notes arranged in a pattern but, what about the input?  Do you "feed" the arp midi notes?  How does the arp know to output the notes over sixteenth, quarter or half note patterns?  Can an arp derive a pattern just from chord root notes?

You play and hold a chord for an Arp tool to turn into an arpeggiorated pattern. you then tell the Arp tool the rules that you want it to base the pattern on. note length, up/down/up and down, how many octaves, apply swing etc.

You people are all geniuses. I feel good things coming your way. Each and everyone of you!

Good, because it's day 20 since Thomann dispatched my new Bass, and they say 10-20 days.

And I worry when having things shipped a few hundred km from the 'States.
 
Hope your Bass gets there in one piece !
 

Cheers. I have to pay an import tax and collect it when it arrives. In a way, its assuring to know it can't get delivered to the wrong place. Thomann double boxed my Epiphone Dot last time, so hopefully it won't sustain any damage. One week to the national holiday, some I'm hoping it's here by the end of the week., otherwise it will be at least 2 weeks and racking my nerves further.
