As an example, the output of an Arrange track (the note events in a MIDI region)
routed to (software) instrument channel 1 can be arpeggiated. To do this, you would
create an arpeggiator object (this will be easiest on the Mixer layer of the Environment),
assign the arpeggiator to the Arrange track (Control-click the track header to access the
Track Assignment menu, and browse to the arpeggiator object), then cable the
arpeggiator out to instrument channel 1.

On playback, the note events in the region will be processed by the arpeggiator object,
and routed (via the cable) into the instrument channel, which plays back the processed
(arpeggiated) MIDI note data.
