Just to make sure... The keyboard controller "feeding" the arps is not also
the sound module you are trying to control?  if it is then the problem
requires you to turn "local off" on your keyboard/synthesizer.

What is confusing to me about your description is it is the opposite of how
the arps are supposed to work (and I have verified myself a while back).

pre-delay will play the held notes/chord to the synth the arp is controlling
during the duration of the predelay.  After which normal arpeggiation will
begin.

Also if you are using postdelay and recycle=on you will get the notes
playing again during the postdelay period.  At least that is the way it
usually works.

What synth are you trying to control?  Maybe you can provide us with a
little map of how you have all of this hooked up so we can start
troubleshooting?
