RPG-8 ARPEGGIATOR
(RECORD+REASON)

Rendering arpeggio notes to track
This function allows you to render the arpeggio generated by RPG-8 to the target device track. The arpeggio output
- rather than just the source notes that generate the arpeggio - will be rendered as notes allowing for full sequencer
edit control.
After rendering, the target device track will have a clip with the arpeggio notes and the RPG-8 track should be muted,
so no arpeggiator parameter settings can be changed - only the actual notes can be edited. You can of course al-
ways go back to the original Arp track, change arpeggiator parameters and perform the rendering again at any time.
To perform the rendering, proceed as follows:
1. First, record some notes in the sequencer.
The Arp track should be selected when recording as usual.
2. Set the left and right locators to the desired range or length.
If the range set is longer than the arpeggio pattern(s), the data will be repeated to fit the range.
3. Select the sequencer track that the RPG-8 is connected to, i.e. the target track, not the “Arp” track.
4. Select the RPG-8 device you wish to copy the arpeggio(s) from in the rack.
5. Select “Arpeggio Notes to Track” from the Edit menu or the RPG-8 device context menu.
Now notes will be created on the target device track between the left and right locators, according to the selected
arpeggio.
6. Mute the Arp track originally used to generate the arpeggio. If you now activate playback from the transport
the arpeggio will play back as note data (the RPG-8 is inactive).
If you enter sequencer Edit mode for the target device track, you can freely edit the arpeggio notes.
D Performance data (e.g. Pitch Bend or Mod Wheel) recorded on the Arp track are not included in the “Arpeggio
Notes to Track” operation.
If you have performance data that should be played back with the arpeggio, you need to copy it manually to the
rendered note clip.
