I'd like to know if the following is possible.

I have a sequence of intervals that I'd like to create as an arpeggiation. I'd like the interval sounds to play based on the note used to trigger the arpeggiation. For example, if the sequesnce is W-W-h-W-h-h-W-W. I'd like to be able to press G3 and have the sequence played bassed off of G3 and progress to A4 and have it played like wise. (I hope I'm describing this effectively.)

I have been trying to do this using the instructions in the parameter guide but nothing seems to be working for me.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean that you'd program the arpeggiator to do something like, say, you play the root note and it plays a major triad above it, so if you press C4 you'd get C4, E4, and G4 and if you pressed D4 you'd get D4, F#4 and A4?

Or do you mean instead that you'd get different intervals between the notes depending on the starting note?

The former can be done easily; that's the whole point of an arpeggiator and you'll see a number of the demo combis do just that. (You wouldn't want the arpeggiator to always play C4, E4, and G4 no matter what note you pressed; the RPPR feature will do that kind of thing). I can't remember offhand how to do this as I've only tried to use arpeggiators once, but it's not hard.

The latter can't really be done; the closest you'd come to doing it is to use two arpeggiators (or as many as the M50 supports, though I seem to recall it's only two) and map them to different notes, probably by using key zones in your combi and using one timbre per arpeggiator.

I will post a screen shot of the editor when I get home from work.

Exactly what I'm trying to accomplish is duplicate the bass arpeggio in Kyrie by Mr mister. the pattern is based on a G7 chord and transitions to a F7. same intervals and sequences, just different notes.

I don't have good bass response on my work speakers, but it sounds like it's the exact same riff over both chords, in which case, what I said is exactly right. Don't think of it as programming specific notes, think of it as programming specific intervals from the first note that you play.

If you don't actually need to do this in any random key, then I might suggest you simply record a 2 patterns(one G and one F) and fire them with RPPR. It would be the same effect and not use an arpegiator.
