does the arp export as midi?
Not that i'm anywhere near to getting Sibelius to see the X50 yet but I was wondering if the arp sounds are 'exported' out as midi like the 'normal' sounds are?
Try this thread, about a dozen below this one [if yo uhad bothered to look first].

I should have been more specific in my question.
Has anyone 'exported' (or whatever the proper terminology would be in this situation) a sound patch's ARP sound into either Sibelius or Finale and had the program create notation of the ARP pattern? Does the ARP 'exit' the synth through the USB output as specific instrument midi info?
I'm not looking to record the arp onto a track (yet) and don't use a computer to record music on so sadly Cubase (and other unknown computer recording software) info is of no use to me in this situation.

Exporting the arpeggios is not possible as far as I can determine. But capturing via raw MIDI output is effective. A very simple regular MIDI cable from the X50 MIDI out to your DAW input will suffice. The X50 WILL NOT allow you to record raw MIDI from it's VST plugin.
But a regular MIDI cable to a MIDI interface connected to a DAW (like Cubase) should work well. And you say "Aw, you're one of 'those' Cubase freaks." Well, I can tell you Cubase has better after-capture tools than any other DAW for massaging the MIDI files you've captured.
For example connect as outlined... put your DAW channel in record for the incoming X50 raw MIDI output... pick a cool PROG patch... hit the AUDITION button. Record the re-occurring pattern before the beginning and after the repeat. Change the MIDI track to Time-based Linear instead of Musical. Adjust the Tempo so the bar markers lineup with the prolation of the melody. Reproduce to taste...
The same will work for arpeggios. You physically play and capture (via record) a rendition using the pre-programmed settings for a Combo. You then go to MIDI|Dissolve Part to divide up the captured result into "Separate Channels".
This should show how you can take advantage of bits and pieces of MIDI that might come in handy for composition.
