The Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in generates musically interesting arpeggios based on incoming MIDI notes. It provides split and remote features that let you control nearly all Arpeggiator functions without taking your hands off the keyboard, making it a powerful live performance tool.
An arpeggio is a succession of notes in a chord. Rather than all notes being played at one time, they are played one after the other in a pattern: up, down, random, and so on. The Arpeggiator plug-in provides a number of preset patterns, inclusive of switchable variations and inversions. Inversions change the root note of the chord from the lowest note, resulting in a different start note in arpeggiated patterns. These features let you quickly switch between patterns and feels when performing live, or when creating new projects in the studio.
The Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in is divided into three areas.
Control parameters: This area contains the Play and Latch controls. See Arpeggiator control parameters.
Note order parameters: The note order parameters determine the arpeggio type and include four variations or inversions, the arpeggio octave range, and the arpeggio speed. See Arpeggiator note order parameters overview.
Advanced parameters: The advanced Arpeggiator controls are divided into four groups. Click the Pattern, Options, Keyboard, or Controller button to open each parameter group. See Arpeggiator pattern parameters overview, Arpeggiator options parameters, Arpeggiator keyboard parameters, and Assign Arpeggiator controller parameters.
