No,no, I understand all that (but thanks for the explanation). I was
just pointing out that the synth and sequencer are separate entities:
 if you set a track to EXT the arpeggiator stops working, which
doesn't make any sense until you realize that the arps are in the
synth, not the sequencer, so an EXT part doesn't go through the
arpeggiator. The solution is as you describe.
