arpeggiator on already recorded instruments

Anybody know how to cable the environment such that midi data recorded already, can be arpeggiated ( without plugging a midi lead out to in) . I know how to cable the midi input and through to an arpeggiator.
Thanks in advance to you environment boffins out there.

The key thing to remember is that the MIDI data in the Arrange window exists in its own right and doesn't get routed anywhere until you press play. So you need to hook up an arpeggiator before the audio instrument in the environment and route the Track to the arpeggiator, not to the instrument.

My method would be:

Open up Environment
Create a new layer called Arp
Create new Arpeggiator in the new layer
Create new Audio Object
Change Audio Object to Instrument (which ever you are trying to drive)
Drag cable from Arpeggiator to the Instrument
In the Arrange Window, change assignment from the original AI to the newly created Arpeggiator layer

Functionally, this is no different from my esteemed colleagues above but I try not to overload my Audio environment layer, instead creating new ones.
