Play in 5/4 in a daw
Hello,
I created a pattern in 5/1, so five beats per bar. I would like the arp plays it in a daw ( S1 and Bitwig ) in 5/4, however, the arp plays the pattern in 4/4 even if i setup the daw in 5/4.
what i have to do ?
Thank you for the help

So sorry, I missed your post.
How is the tempo sync set up? I take it the MIDI Clock is coming from the DAW and ARP is set to MIDI Control Mode = IN?
ARP always subdivides a 96 tick MIDI bar. So at 5/1, 5 notes will be output every 96 ticks.
Changing the Bitwig time signature to 5/4 extends the bar to 120 ticks. (5 x 24 PPQN)
ARP doesn't have a way to change the bar length (it's always 96 ticks)
So my suggestion would be to keep Bitwig at 4/4 and set ARP to do whatever division of the bar you need.
I hope that helps.
