tables are nice to make chords more interesting than just the C command, like you could also put

for a slower chord arp

No need for all that. You can use a G command in a table to call a different groove to alter the speed the table runs at. for instance, you could slap a G01 on the first line of a table, and then go to G01 and set it to 2/2 to accomplish the same thing (and SO MUCH MORE)

yeah, the speed of the C command is static (and therefore kinda useless imo) tables are where it's at.

Oh yeah! I keep forgetting that the G command isn't global. Very powerful technique to explore!

Also consider making your arpeggios go downward. Or perhaps out of order. Or with octave notes in between, at 16ths, 8ths, triplets, 32nd whatever. Maybe do a 5 note pattern over more than one octave.

Just don't go up the chord every time the same way. V

Useless if you're not attempting to accomplish what the C command can provide, at least. And it's fun for lots of things.

I Do arps out of order depending on the note i want emphasized and what-not. Really useful for tracking destiny's child type lead+harmony stuffs.. >.>

sounds wicked, do you have an audio example to give an idea of what it sounds like ?

It sounds like every table arp you've ever heard that uses this technique of slowing down the arps by doubling each TSP command with the default groove:
00
00
04
04
07
07
0B
0B
0C
0C

but only takes up half the table space:
00
04
07
0B
0C
