i have been having difficulty with the ableton arp recently. it seems that whenever i put it on an instrument that is playing a midi clip, it doesnt start the arp sequence at the beginning of the clip, but instead it has a little lag. i dont know if i have some strange setting selected on the arpeggiator or what but its really starting to annoy me. anyone got any suggestions?

thanks

mine was doing this to me in logic. except i was rewiring reason into it. i figured it was rewire that was causing the delay in the arp, but idk...

fuck its so annoying. i now just manually program all my arps but its annoying when im trying to get something out fast and i have to spend time doing monotonous tasks like this..... i guess ill just have to make my arps in other creative ways.

what do you mean like manually draw in all the little notes?

im thinking i might do that as well because i can't get my arp to span across 2 bars the way i want it to.

like using the massive performer for my arps or just drawing it in by hand i guess. i have been playing around with getting arp sounds in plugins like fabfilter volcano which might be cool to further explore

I have no idea about Ableton, but in Cubase there's a way to record the MIDI data onto a new track, so if the arp is off, you can record it to a new track and then manually correct / quantize the notes. I'm thinking there must be a way to do this in Ableton somehow as well...

Just set up a new midi track and have the output of the track containing the arp going into the new midi track, It then records the midi output that the arp creates.

One thing I noticed I while back was that if the arp is in sync mode it gave me more problems than free mode also keep the track rec armed. Seemed to help
