situation when preparing for a chord change.

Arpeggiator note order parameters
Arpeggiator note order parameters overview
The note order parameters provide control of a pre-programmed order of notes that are played
at a preset playback rate. Once all notes are played, the arpeggio cycles from the start. When
you play a single key, it is repeated. When you play multiple keys, the held notes are played one
after the other. As you play additional notes, these are seamlessly added to the arpeggio. When
you release notes, they are removed from the arpeggio. The arpeggio stops when you release all
played keys (unless Latch mode is turned on in the Arpeggiator control parameters).
The Arpeggiator plug-in automatically assigns position identication numbers to each note in
the order they are played. These position identication numbers associate an event, such as a
note, rest, or a tie, with a particular step. This lets you switch between note order presets while
retaining a rest on the third step, for example.
Note order parameters
All note order parameters can be changed while an arpeggio is playing. Changes are immediate
and are seamlessly applied to the running arpeggio.
