How do I set up a virtual instrument with a MIDI arpeggiator/delay ?
Create an arpeggiator (or delay) in the environment. Cable it into the channel strip containing the VSTi. Assign a track to the arpeggiator. Select the track, hit “play” and play your controller/keyboard: voila, arpeggio’s. Recording will now record the chords you play and not the arp’s. If you want to record the actual arpeggio’s: first record the chords (as above) on the Arpeggiator track. Then cable the Arpeggiator object into the To Sequencer object (in the Clicks & Ports layer of the environment) instead of into the VSTi’s channel strip. In the Arrange window, assign an empty track to the VSTi. Hit record: the MIDI chords will be sent to the arp, which will send the arpeggiated notes into the sequencer, which in turn will play & record those notes on the VSTi track.
