Working with the Motif-Rack XS Arpeggios

If you are using the Motif-Rack XS and wish to record its arpeggio data as MIDI, this article will give you the background information you will need. The outline for working with arps and a DAW sequencer is found in the Owner’s Manual on pages 42-43. This article will, hopefully fill in some of the details and give you the reasons behind how it works.

This article will concentrate on transferring a Drum Arpeggio to a DAW software sequencer. There are more than 1900 different drum grooves in the arpeggio data.

Recording the output of the Motif-Rack XS arpeggio can be a bit tricky and is definitely at the deeper end of the pool when it comes to operations. If you are not a MIDI-Jedi Knight, is recommended that you take your time and follow this article step-by-step. We use Cubase in this tutorial but you can use whatever sequencer you prefer. The process will be similar in most DAW software, however the actual setup may be different…your mileage may vary. Enjoy.
