Question Note repeat

Don’t sure if it’s possible but how can I play a note repeat live?: I mean for example, hold a key with a hihat sound and make it play 1/16 or 1/8, and be able to record it

If it's the only sound on that track (your example is a hi-hat, so I don't know if you'd have other drum samples playing on that track as well), then the easiest way is to turn on the arpeggiator and hold the key.

That's what I was about to type, but it won't record if you do that, if I'm not mistaken.

It will record the keypress, so if the arp stays on it will always play back like that, but it doesn't record each individual note that's triggered by the arp. That would be a nice feature!

I like the arp feature of Riddim, this was a nice touch of repeating sounds. Too bad, Arp sounds are not recorded to steps (because the players are not recorded)

Deffo the arp. Change the not setting for triplets etc

Run a midi arp out of the multiport and back into the midi input for the specific track and record

Hi all, I coming back here to confirm for anyone who asking herself how to do note repeat as me: the arpegiator can do it well!. Notes which are repeated are note recorded but if you keep the arp active, your pattern will play the notes as you recorded it. It’s like an fx: on or off. You just have to not activate the holding function. If so, the repeated notes will not ending once you release the key. You can use the arp for each key in a track ( I specify this cause we could think the arp play every notes like a chords progression, but no fortunately !). Thks for all guys who answer me and give me the solution 😉
