When I choose Preset 18 (AR Turn Around) from the Synth Lead section, Synthmaster only recognises the lowest note of a chord and plays the minor arpeggio (e.g. If the lowest note in my C chord is E, Synthmaster plays an E minor arpeggio, instead of a C major arpeggio.
Is it possible to get Synthmaster to follow the chord notes I write using this preset? Other presets seem to recognise the chords but not this one.
Does Synthmaster have midi drag'n'drop?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Out of curiosity, how do you get the chords into RB? BIAB has the ability to create a MIDI chord track in root position which is perfect for working with Synthmaster arpeggiated styles.There is a MIDI 'held chord' style (PIANOHLD.STY) which also interprets that chords in root position but in a spread-out format across both bass and treble clef. This should do the job but I've never tried it. I'll give it a run through later tonight and see if that solves your problem. As for Synthmaster drag 'n' drop, I don't know.

Hi Noel. I was just trying some of the presets in Synthmaster. I used the mouse to step-input notes in the Notation window. I didn't actually name any chords.
Thanks,
Mike

In my experience basic arpeggiators work like that .. the lowest note is considered a single note (monophonic) starting point and the rest of the played notes are ignored.
I know on my older boards if I select an arpeggiator and try to hold a chord it ignores all but the lowest (base) note.
The arpeggio itself had to be programmed to do what you wanted inside the synth itself ... not sure how that applies to SynthMaster
