  I don't get it. What is the advantage of using an Arpegiator? You have so 
  much more control using Logic and the pencil - you can see what you are 
  doing, you can fine tune to a  much greater extent, and you can save.  
  With a keyboard arp, its more of a performance thing it seems 
   
   
  One advatage I like with using arps is that you get LESS control, which can sometimes be a good thing. Think about playing in a band. You really have no control at all over the other instruments besides the one you treat by yourself - but somehow the music can sound great anyway. You never know if the bass player will bring a new fuzzbox, or whatever... Working with arpeggiatoros you do not work on the small level (penciling away in the matrix editor) but you are throwing huge chunks of musical parts at different synth/sampler instruments . I would say that in a sense you have better control on a more general level . And another thing:  If  some lines are aimed to play extremely fast and then it helps a lot to also hear them fast when composing. 
   
  Try this one: "Why did Charlie Parker have to play so fast? He would have much better control if only slowing down a bit!"  ;)
