Everywhere I look in the multiplicity of manuals, it states that the arpeggiator function must be mapped to a MIDI instrument. Why then are there places in the software instrument listings, ES1, EXS24 and others, that have "ARP" as behind their preset name if it's not intended to be in arpeggiation? Or is trying to refer to the classic ARP synthesizer? Which is related to the question of how to arpeggiate a software instrument (?), if possible. Inquiring minds want to know. John Lee

You can also cable an arpeggiotor to a "sequencer input" object. In the arrange window you drop some recorded midi pads (midi part, region, sequence or whatever it's called) on the arpeggio track. Start Logic and then the arpeggio will play through whatever track/sound you select. Good for trying out which softsynth preset is working best for a certain arpeggio.
