Is there any way to use arpeggiator in a song mode (Pattern mode) on motif ES?
I use 2000XL as main sequencer.
I cannot work it out.
Thanks!

sequence the midi output of your keyboard into an mpc track. then turn of the arp, the arpeggiated notes should be as a midi track on the mpc. do u wanna play it live to your sequences?

What nanoloop is saying is that when you record midi into the mpc, the arp is recorded in that midi also.

Your not worried about "midi recording" the arp r u? Just how to use the arp in song mode? I don't know that one. I don't think arp is in song mode on my triton extreme either, that's a good question I'll have to figure out for myself one day.. Maybe arp is a creation/playback thing when in sequence/voice/program mode but when in song mode it's strictly playback? dunno...

i dont own one, and its got nothing to do with the xl.

Arpeggiator patterns can be recorded to a Pattern or Song, or chords can be input that will be arpeggiated on Song/Pattern playback. Real-time fun can be had courtesy of the front-panel control knobs, since one of their options is to change how arpeggios play back. And a nice new touch is that arpeggiations assigned to a Voice, Song or Pattern can be transmitted over MIDI, but not those in a Performance. But note that some of the complex patterns don't work with external sounds, because they won't be programmed in the same way as internal ES Voices.

that was the first link in google, to the exact question u asked!
