It's a bit tricky though to run it by MIDI Clock sync and pipe MIDI to/from Logic over the IAC Bus. Numerology 2.0 will support ReWire so then we'll have a steady sync with Logic. - Ableton Live has good arpeggio functionality when combined with its MIDI plug-ins. However, when synced by ReWire to Logic you can't stream MIDI over "Output = IAC". That's a bummer, really. I'm not sure who is to blame for this; Propellerheads, Apple or Ableton. - Soft-synth Arturia Minimoog have a little built-in arpeggiator. Can be automized to change beat division while playing, but as far as I remember that's as far as it goes. Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international)
