Sonic7 Trip: how to automate Variations

I’m using Halion Sonic7 Trip in Cubase Elements. I’d like to automate the arpeggio variations (or pads with the variations assigned to them) but I can’t find any mention of this in the manual. It does cover using MIDI Learn for other parameters, but not this one. Is there a way to do this?

You should be able to change the trigger pad via midi note.

I saw that in the manual but it wasn’t clearly explained. If I’m using MIDI notes to play the instrument itself, how can I use notes to also trigger arpeggio variations?

Ah, now I see it. MIDI Learn 4 note keys for the pads; those 4 notes no longer play the synth but trigger the variation. I’ve never seen this before. I think it would be useful if MIDI controllers could be assigned as an alternative.

Looks like you already found it.
