Is there any instrument / midi effect that allows to play custom patterns? Say for example I have a pattern like
1/2 1/6 1/6 /1/6 (note length)

Is there a way to get live to play it with any note? Sort of like an arpeggiator but I can use custom note lengths (and ideally if I play a chord it doesnt cycle through the notes but plays all the notes at same pattern)

If you have MaxForLive there's probably a device out there that would do something close to this. I made this recently....

The patterns can be customized, and can be triggered/played by Midi note input (like an arpeggiator). Doesn't do the chord thing though (...yet), and is restricted to a 1/16th grid.

If that's no good, do a search on maxforlive.com for 'arpeggiator' you may find something suitable.

Not tried this myself, but this also looks like it may work....
