Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in
Arpeggiator overview
The Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in generates musically interesting arpeggios based on incoming
MIDI notes. It provides split and remote features that allow you to control nearly all
Arpeggiator functions without taking your hands o 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 dierent 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.

Advanced parameters.
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 tabs. Click the
Pattern, Options, Keyboard, or Controller tab to open each parameter group. See Arpeggiator
pattern parameters overview, Arpeggiator options parameters, Arpeggiator keyboard
parameters, and Assign Arpeggiator controller parameters.
