yeah, that's my sweathart as well. But you can open the minimoog in Live 4 and use the moogs arpeggiator. That's what i do now in Live 3, using midi guitar and looping audio and midi in paralell.The minimoog arpeggiator is so cool since you can control its tempo devider from a midi expression pedal while trashing away....

But I really hope for such a arpeggiator among those promised four "midi effects". Two of them have been named at the site so there are still two chances left.

Hey Per how you doing ? You and I aught to talk sometime

Having it inside the synth is no help unless you are wanting to use that synth. I just hope they have this in Abe !!!!

Oh, I forgot to say that I patched up the Minimoog inside Numerology and then I was syncing Live to Numerology (I'm now on OSX).

Sorry for the bad post.

Ditto, I'm in Numerology for the Arps (etc). Just hoping its included here !

Two midi modules were named (scale and Random) and one (velocity) shown in the animation. That leaves two...I think

yeah - let's hope for an arp in L4!!! I'd love that! With "tempo divide" and "note duration" and "velocity strenght" that can be controlled by external midi. Woahh!

Three actually. Right now the Abe newsletter arrived and it says there are five midi effects.

Three plus two equals five

Two were named one was shown that leaves two...

Btw, if you have a good look at the two screenshots A LOT -not to say everything - comes very clear ...

It answered eg. a lot of my questions on the audio/midi routing possibilities .

Oh well, I guess I will have to run Numerology with Live just as I have been planning... while waiting for Num to catch up on stability and some arp issues to be fixed. No big deal, but I would really have been nice with an arp in Live to make it "the one and only" softw tool.

Nice eyes there dude...missed it completely...just dont know what 'chord' and 'pitch' will do....

Wow you beat my post....well I'm talking to Jim at five12 and I think you'll see a dedicated arp module in there (numerology) soon.
