[Feature Requests] Record ARP outcome to sequencer

We can record the notes used for an ARP into the sequencer, but to me that doesn’t make sense. I can remember a few keys I pressed, no need to record that.

What would be infinitely more useful to me, is to be able record the ARP output into the sequencer. So whatever sequence of notes is produced, instead of what keys I pressed. Hope I expressed myself clearly.

Hi, not sure to follow : so you’d like Arp ON to record itself into the sequencer as if you were manually playing those notes? So as to create the arp pattern more quickly in the sequencer and then tweak it?

Hi Lily, I think you got it, yes.

Right now, “Copy Arp to Sequencer” simply copies the several notes used to feed the arpeggiator. But not what the arpeggiator is actually doing.

It only copies those notes. I’d like to copy the sequence I’m hearing straight into a 16-64 step sequence.

That’s how it works on the Roland S-1: The literal output of the arpeggiator is recorded into the sequencer, instead of the keys you used to trigger the arp.

Does this help?

[EDIT]

Okay wait, I just discovered something:

At first you only get to hear the arp’s seed notes in the sequencer. But then, if you expand the sequencer to 16 steps or more, the arp’s result is there afterall, just as I was requesting! Am I getting this right? This isn’t anywhere in the manual, is it?

Ha, now I love the MiniFreak even more. :heart_eyes:
