Re: Arps won't sync in Sonar

2005-09-02 by steve_the_composer

I have used arps almost exclusively with Sync = key sync [as opposed 
to Sync = quantized]. Using Sonar 3 as clock master to the P2500 in 
ext clock mode, I triggered a note on using an extended arp at the 
beginning of each measure. The sequenced keypress kept the arp in 
sync, and since I retriggered it, the extensions never executed.  I 
will test it with a note on in measure one for as long as I can to 
see if I get the drift.
