As I was doing some digging on Ableton Live's Arpeggiator device, I noticed some weird behaviour for gates values of 100% and 200% (precisely).
Here is the very simple setup I used to obtain the MIDI output of the Arpeggiator:
- A MIDI track, playing a 1-bar clip containing a simple C major chord and an Arpeggiator (default Ableton Live's preset) ;
- A additional empty MIDI track, with input set to the other one and armed for recording.
Now, increasing the gate parameter leads to the expected result up to 99%, as seen on the image below.
But then, with gate set to 100%, I obtain this really weird result below.
At 101%, it goes back to the expected result !
And then the same pattern repeats: it works fine up to 199%.
And then kind of breaks again at 200%.
I'm not observing this for rate values less than or equal to 1/16.
Can anyone shed light on this weird behaviour? Am I missing something or did I stumble upon a bug? (I doubt it, I guess this would already have been found long ago).
Thanks,

PS: I did a quick search on the forum before posting to see if this was a known behaviour and didn't find anything. Sorry if I missed it.
