Trigger arpeggiator with first note?

Post by abroyles »

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I did a search and I found things close but not quite. I've set up a pattern with my arpeggiator, and I want the pattern to start when I press the keys down for the first time. It seems like the arpeggiator just simply runs in the background with the time clock, and wherever it happens to be is where it starts. Is there any way to initiate the arpeggiator pattern with a key press?

Thanks!

From the Stage 4 manual: "In KB SYNC mode (Shift+Arp Run), the arpeggiator or gate will be reset any time a new note is played after all keys have been lifted. With keyboard sync off, any new notes played while the arpeggio or gate is running will conform to the “grid” of the current tempo setting." Cheers!

I'm not sure if this is still an issue: There have been remarks on the forum that it wouldn't work - cf. viewtopic.php?t=26537

That did the trick! Thank you so much and sorry for asking a question sitting right there in the user manual!
