C64 chords

Ok. This maybe logical to some. But there probably is a couple of people who don't know it.

Now that the arpeggiator is fixed in 5.03 we can go crazy with that c64 type sound.

It's real simple:

Take an arp and set it to free rate (speed 20-50 ms). Retrigger set to notes. And set to downwards pattern. Place a simpler with a simple waveform (init pulse for example). Set the simpler to 1 note polyphony.

yes. the fixed arpeggiator is amazing. it is probably the best arpeggiatior i have used. it could be better, if the sync modes went higher than 1/32, like 64, 128, 256, 512 for those super fast arps, but synced, now i just do a little math to get em pretty much right on. and for those old-school sounds, i sent LIVE's arp to my sh101, and bingo!

Sounds like fun. Wish I didn't sell my blue 101 some years ago. :(


Think how nice it would be if the arpeggiator could change speed according to notes. Higher speed when higher notes are played 8O .

A kind of harmonic arpeggiator.!!!! That would be supercool.
