I second that! A nice and intuitive functionality for creating user arps (which should also be capable of editing existing arps & saving them to user locations) - would be very desirable, and (with the new high res screen and all) certainly doable! If it is well implemented, maybe more people would use it than in the Motif (as far as I understood, poor usage of the "user arp creation" function in Motif was the reason for kicking it out in Montage...)

Sometimes it might be more efficient to quickly create ones own arpgeggio (once again, if its well implemented), instead of screening 10000 presets for a particular one. Or, you like a preset arp, but would like to modify it slightly...!

And although BM disagrees, I still feel somehow that this could be seen as a logical "second dimension" of the motion sequencer ( time-synchronized automation of controller data vs. time-synchronized note "data" / phrases).

Also, as far as I know, at the moment there is no third party solution for doing this on a computer.

p.s. Apart from that- tried a Montage 8 today at a local Music Store- I agree, it looks, feels and sounds great! 🙂

I don't think you do understand.

Not everything that will be available for Montage is available now. That's just the way it is. Not everything that became available was available for Motif in the first two months that it came out. I think folks who can be patient should just be patient. If there was no User Arpeggio spec at all, I could see your concern. But there is. So I'd recommend, if you can, just be patient.

Okay I'll be patient then. Playing my MOXF and waiting for some Montage updates, and software which might come out, and (hopefully) a healthy price drop 😉

And I'll try to not mention the user arp thing in the next 6 months, to protect your nerves BM 😉
