Then you have full control on what notes are played and at what velocity, and even glide by overlapping notes... Throw a scale plugin after it and everything will stay in one key... or add a normal arp plug for more craziness - etc etc etc...
completely sick and incredible tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you

add in midi feedback between two channels and play with the overdub button and you have a form of generative/interactive music

add in the apc 40 clip matrix and look out

A programmable arpeggiator in Live

Post by Azure Feast » Mon May 11, 2009 11:04 am

Here is a link to a tread were I described how to do a (fully) programmable arpeggiator in Live. It does not cover all needs but if you want to build melodic a programmable (Like FM8, Zebra...) arpeggiator it is the best I could find so far.

I hope it helps,
