Help! The arpeggiator on my OB-12 doesn't work?

Does anyone have any experience with this synth and it's arpeggiator? I can't get it to work. When I turn it on it lights up as "on", but outputs no sound when I play a chord. I'm thinking there must be some hidden setting in some menu somewhere that the previous owner disabled the arpeggiator or something? Unfortunately my backlight is burned out so I can barely read any of the menus. Does anyone know what the problem is? Sometimes it does output a single note but it doesn't arpeggiate it in any way. It just plays one static note. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

Bet money it is set to sync to midi. Feed it a midi clock signal and it will go, or get into the menu and set to internal sync and it should run synced to the internal clock.

Hope this helps.

Wow. Good call!! I went into the midi sync menu and turned it off, and now the arpeggiator works fine. Sweet. I thought it was broken! Thanks for the help!

No problem. Glad to help, especially someone who is also a Giorgio Moroder fan(I'm assuming by your handle)

Been lurking here for a long time and actually just registered to answer your question.
