Mee Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I open a midi file. I turn on a track automation and select arepeggiator. It plays arpegio of course... Then if I do ANYTHING I can't not remove / stop the arepeggiator. I've selected delete special: and the options "track automation" and "track/bus automation" is greyed out (can't select them to delete any automation). I've right clicked on the automation and selected "delete envelope" or "clear all" etc. and that just closes the track automation but doesn't stop the arpeggiator from playing. There seems to be no way to stop the automation, how do you remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mee Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Note, I don't know if this is even just an arpeggiator problem. Because I can't seem to find ANYTHING showing that there is any envelope or automation being applied to the track now. But can't stop the arpeggiator from playing.

Mee Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Yeah, there is something weird going on with Cakewalk. If you open the "ProCh" view, you can view the arpeggiator in the window. However, the enable/diable button toggles but doesn't turn off (or some times on) the arpeggiator if you select it. But it works if you toggle it ONLY when the song is playing. So something weird is going on since you shouldn't need to press play to toggle. It stays stuck either an off or on mode, depending what you've done before (like if you did nothing you can't turn it on, but if you've tried adding the arpeggiator in the automation track, you can't ever turn it off).

RBH Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 You should maybe copy this inquiry to the feedback forum or to Noel directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckebaby Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 arpeggiator automation replies on movements of parameters. If nothing is being moved, nothing is being automated. To record arpeggiator automation 1.Right-click the desired arpeggiator parameter in the Track Inspector, and select Automation Write Enable on the pop-up menu. 2.Click the Play button to start playback. 3.Adjust the arpeggiator control as desired. When you are finished recording automation, click the Stop button to stop playback. Automation (envelope) data appears in the Track view. To create arpeggiator automation In the Track pane, click the track’s Edit Filter control, point to Track Automation > Arpeggiator and select the desired arpeggiator parameter. Automation (envelope) data appears in the Track view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mee Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi No, the problem is that cakewalk gets stuck where you can't turn off the arpeggiator or get rid of it, or as described you can't toggle it off or on with the control and it gets all messed up enabled when off or on when off. Or you have to play you track and only then does the switch to disable it disable it. But then if you press play again for your song, it turns itself on even though it's off and you just turned it off. Cakewalk seems to be messed up somehow with the scenario I described. Load a midi, and turn on the arpeggiator and see if you can ever get rid of it. You can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never use automation, but I am wondering if what you are getting is similar to what I wrote up this morning. What do you mean by "you can't [1] toggle it* off or on [2] with the control**?" It sounds a little similar (not sure, though) to my attempts to control the Latch functionality with a Remote Control CC. *toggle what specifically? **with which control?

In the left side of the screen,in the inspector, there is a view for "ProCh". That shows you a push button switch to turn off or on the apeggiator.

I will continue to explore possible issues I have been having. Edited January 3, 2020 by User 905133 to simplify reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
