help needed! z3ta skipping notes

so I came up with this melody and was playing around with it on z3ta+ but it keeps on skipping some notes randomly! i'm guessing it has to do with the fact that it's on arpeggiator mode, but how in hell do we turn it off?

i was using/tweaking the 'superb' preset btw.. if anyone can figure out what's wrong with it it'd be a big help!

is it maybe the demo version you have?

i think the demos volume goes down every 2 or 3 seconds

don't think so, when i turn the melody into looong notes it plays them all and the volume never goes down

Look right underneath where you select the Patch at the Low Frequency Oscillators box. The tab on the far right, "AR", is where the Arpeggiator settings are.

thanks a lot, turning the arpeggiator off allowed me to export that riff without problems.

however, i decided to experiment a little bit with and came out with a really cool arpeggiated melody.. and the problem is back again :\ i notice as well that everytime it skips in the far down the voices setting turn from value 1 to value 0. dunno wtf is happening, could be from the shitty internal soundcard? the processor is pretty fast, 2.2 Ghz.

the weirdest part is that it doesn't only skip when i play it in fruity, it skips as well in the exported .wav. That has never happened to me before, even with other huge CPU-consuming VST's.

Well one bandaid fix for that would be to just sequence in the arpeggiated melody without the use of the arpeggiator.

yeah but i don't know how to do it but it's an ideia, i'll try

That's a known problem in Z3TA, the arp is just fubared.

the problem is back again, i'm fucked cause it's the only vst i'm getting really good sounds from

anyone can give tips on how to turn an arpegiated melody inside the synth to manually putting the notes on the step sequencer? i've tried to do it but can't get anything similar. the settings for the arpeg are: PATTERN - Down ; SYNC - 1/4 ; OCTAVES - 2 ; MODE - Sync ; SORT - Off
