olejako Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hey! I have a prophet rev2 which is connected to a roland rubix44 interface, and when I use an external instrument track to record an arpeggio melody with my synth, the midi comes out as whole lines instead of the individual notes from the arp. How can I get the individual midi notes from the arpeggio as midi? Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scg Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I haven't used the specific hardware you mention, but I'll go ahead and point out what's probably obvious, which is that if the external instrument is doing the arpeggiating, generally the un-arpeggiated MIDI is exactly what you'd want to record, because then when you play it back via the external instrument, you'll get the arpeggiation again. Maybe someone else knows the hardware you mention and will understand better, but meanwhile, can you explain why you want to capture the arpeggiated MIDI specifically? (Maybe that's a stupid question and I'm just not getting it...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olejako Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hey! thanks for the input. Sure, I want the individual midi notes because then I think it is easier to work with the melody, by switching up the notes and order in the midi roll.

David Nahmani Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I don't think it's possible to record MIDI notes from the arp on the Prophet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olejako Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 Yup I think it is, a friend of mine could do it with the same setup as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Oh wow ok, good to know I was wrong then! 🙂 Actually you're right, a little more research turned this out: To enable MIDI Note output from the arpeggiator: Press the global button, then turn soft knob 1 to select midi arp notes (global item #14). Turn soft knob 3 (off/on) and select on. Press the global button again to exit the Global menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olejako Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hmmm Im not sure why but my global item 14 says "Arp Beat Sync" and has the options "Quantize" and "off"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olejako Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) What is meant by soft knob 1? The parameter knob? Im new to the rev2 so I'm not sure Edited March 21, 2023 by olejako Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I think it's actually #13. Manual says: Global Setting #13. MIDI Arp+Seq: Off, On—When On, the synth’s arpeggiator and sequencer output MIDI note numbers. You can use this feature to drive other MIDI-equipped devices such as synthesizers and drum machines.

olejako Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 Thank you for your suggestion, I tried changing the settings for MIDI Arp+Seq, but it still records "held" notes instead of individual arp notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
