84 ARTURIA – ARP2600 V – USER’S MANUAL
8.2.2 Using the instrument in VST mode
Opening the ARP2600 V VST plug-in is done like any other VST plug-in; please consult the user man-
ual of the host sequencer for more information. For Cubase SX, open the menu “Devices / VST In-
struments”, and choose ARP2600 V in the rack:

8.2.3 Connection to a MIDI track
So that the ARP2600 V can play the information coming from a MIDI track, you must choose a MIDI
track and select the ARP2600 V as the MIDI output for this track using the menu in Cubase which is
used for this:

The events played on a MIDI keyboard are then transmitted by your sequencer to the ARP2600 V. It
is of course possible to record these MIDI events, and use all of the sequencer’s MIDI editing possi-
bilities.
8.2.4 Saving presets
When the session is recorded, the state of the ARP2600 V is recorded as is, even if the programming
does not correspond to any preset. For example, if you were working on preset “P1” on which you
had modified the parameters (without having saved them under the name “P2”), the next time the
song is opened, the ARP2600 V will load preset “P1” with the modifications .
The drop-down menu offered by the VST sequencer to save plug-in settings can of course be used
with the ARP2600 V. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended that you use the internal ARP2600 V
menu: the presets saved in this manner can be used in any other mode (standalone or other se-
quencer), and can be exported as a distinct and separate file.
