Arps are repeating melodies that are built out of the chords in a song.

This will allow you to make basic melodies from the chords youve already input into the piano roll.

You can use the stock arpeggiator, which is built into the channel settings in each channel, the piano roll arpeggiator, which is accessed through altA, or use Riff Machine, which also has an arp section, built into it.

In the image above, youll see how it looks with it turned off.

Select any of the options to the right of the X to arpeggiate the notes in your chords.

The direction of the arrows will tell you which direction the notes will arp as it plays one at a time.

Remember to either play this with your metronome or a drum pattern, so that you can match this up with your project tempo.

Moving the knob to the left will shorten your notes, which can be useful in creating more of a plucking sound that might be useful for stringed instruments, like guitars.

Youll likely want to stick to 1 to 3 octaves, but explore the full range to see how far you want to go.

The repeat option controls the point at which the arp will start over.

Typically, the more notes you have in the chord, the higher youll want to set the repeat to.

Leaving the repeat set to 0 will simply loop the entire arp as is.

The biggest feature is the option of presets by selecting the folder on the top right, which you can quickly access through the drop down arrow next to the folder.

FL Studio comes with a great variety of arp presets to choose from.

Youll notice that as you change these arp presets and settings, youll actually change the midi information in the piano roll.

Now, you can change the individual notes in the arp to your liking if you want to add your own style and also save these as new presets in your arppegiator preset folder for later use.

The sync option will snap the midi to the tempo, the grid, or the chords youve played.

The time mul and gate knobs are the same as the time and gate options in the channel rack arpeggiator.

However, you could access them through the Riff Machine by selecting altE and going to the levels section in Riff Machine.

Lay down your chords, arp them in the piano roll and then apply the arp in the channel settings.

Hit ctrlL to lengthen the ends of the notes to the beginning of the next note to get more use from the channel arpeggiator.

Youll end up with some results you probably wouldnt have come up with on your own.
