Live arp arpeggiates the chord you hold using the Arpeggiator panel (pattern, rate, octaves, gate, swing), locked to the transport if it's playing.
Record: while playing, notes are written into the roll in real time (snapped); while stopped, each chord you play is written at the playhead and the playhead steps forward.
Sustain pedal, pitch bend (±2), mod wheel / CC74 = cutoff, CC71 = resonance, CC7 = volume.
