is the track muted ? (or plays free)
PS what is being triggered ?

You didn’t mentioned Arp Mode > select 1 mode different from off.
Note page LEN = INF (or 1/1 
)
Otherwise it is the right procedure, with a new project, nothing else modified.
@xenosapien, 1 note suffice to make arp work !

I think this is a case of when meeting someone in the corridor is better than doing so on the web! First, thanks for all of your suggestions. The track is not muted. While I wish there were an online animated Octatrack OS to compare setups, I suppose all I can do is list:
- Press MIDI to enter MIDI mode
| NOTE | VEL | LEN |
|---|---|---|
| C3 | 100 | 1 |
| NOT2 | NOT3 | NOT4 |
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
- Press FUNC + SRC for MIDI NOTE SETUP
| CHAN | BANK | PROG |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OFF | OFF |
- Press FUNC + AMP for MIDI ARP SETUP and set to
| TRAN | LEG | MODE |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | OFF | TRUE |
| SPD | RNGE | N/LEN |
| 8 | 10CT | 1/16 |
- Press FUNC + ARROW UP as needed to enter chromatic mode
- Pressing multiple TRIG keys starts the arpeggiator correctly
- Press REC to ready the OT to input notes
- Press TRIG1 to enter it ( RED )
- Press PLAY: a MIDI note plays, but ARPEGGIATOR does not respond
This is the point at where that I am stuck. Modifications to NOT2/3/4 make no difference. Long pressing T1 and doing the same makes no difference.
I must be missing something very very basic here…

Thank you xenosapien! I don’t believe it. Through all of the tweaking, though I would have sworn I had already done it… setting it to a full bar did the trick. Solved. Thanks!

What are you setting in Arp Setup?
10 octaves range !
Speed 8 is a weird setting.
Elektron speed units are weird actually.
3 6 9 12 18 24…are more logical, 6 being 16th, 12 being 8th, etc.
You got your thanks too avantronica.

And so did you sezare56! Ha ha ha. Much appreciated.
no thanks needed, none of us help for the gratitude, it’s just a reminder to reflect that people really do try to help by making suggestions and filling in the gaps - it’s easier to ask the right questions when you know the answer sometimes - it’s a machine that needs a good workout periodically to keep the concepts fresh

Couldn’t agree more! Thanks.

I like it! 
I mostly answered to learn OT, now to master it. I’m very selfish. 
@Illogical my turn to thank you, when I woke up I read your question, and thought about realtime sync arp workarounds :
Here is one! (Maybe other possibilities with midi processor an midi plays free)

I wasn´t try to accuse you, sorry - I was stating what I thought was happening - I thought you had not read them.
Apologies for assuming - I was wrong.
And I know how frustrating it can be when you think you´re doing everything right, and then somebody “explains” to you what they are doing (right) and you just can´t see where you´re going wrong.
No worries, I´m neither mad at you and I have actually been in your shoes several times before myself.
@sezare56 correct, 1 note trig would work as well, though I always feel that that shouldn´t count as an “arpeggio” 
@avantronica I think it actually took the combined brainpower of 3+ people to get out of this haha. that´s the octatrack for you, hm?

Don’t worry about it xenosapien! We’ve all walked in those shoes at some point. All is good and the arp is wicked fun
