Why doesn't the "hold" button hold notes when the ARP is off

Step KeyStep 37

Is there some reason the “Hold” button doesn’t work unless the arp is on? Using a little Behringer UB-Xa as a drone source, just want to hold a note forever.

I mean, I could put a rock on a sustain pedal, but that would be extra stuff to carry/forget/lose/break.

This seems weird to me. Seems like literally every other synth I have used that had a hold button worked this way.

As it is now, the button does nothing (nothing that I can tell, anyway). Why have it do nothing?

Feel like I’m missing something obvious.

Hi again @stan2Brix ,

I don’t have a keystep 37.
According to the manual the following is possible:
“9.10.2.8.Hold Button Function The Hold button can be configured to toggle Hold/Chord modes on/off, send a sustain message or do both.”
So have you in Midi Control Center tried to set the “Hold Switch Function” to the functionality you want?

Thanks!

This doesn’t show up in the table of contents, so I missed it.
