An arpeggiator hold can be achieved when using a MIDI keyboard with sustain pedal.

Pressing MIDI keys will activate an arpeggio. Pressing the sustain pedal (CC64) will hold the notes. Pressing the keys again will release the notes.

This may be helpful in creating complex arpeggios without recording.

Can you take your hand off the the keyboard and hold the same pattern?(as long as you want to hold and manipulate it)?If not it is not a true arp hold.Just saying.I would like this feature to be implemented. PEACE TYPO

Yes, the arpeggio will continue playing when you release the keys if you are in the Main screen of JJOS. Press the MIDI key on the controller, press the sustain, release the key, release the sustain. The arpeggio is now holding.

When additional keys are pressed, they are temporarily included with the arpeggio until the keys are released. If not held/sustained, the original arpeggio will continue.
