I've done a fair few variations on this theme since we got the arp for Live.
Here's one of them:
Auto Play
- Just play any note on the input, and it will be scaled, delivered to a bass line and a lead arp, transformed into a scaled chord for the pad, and it will create a polyrhythmic beat of kick, snare and hi hat.

The arpegiator is a bit off, but hopefully that will get fixed soon.

It's the same basic sequencing used in most hardware synths, 4, 6 or 8 patches with different programs running from one or more arpeggiators following a keybord, and that's how you do it in Live. Seems post worthy to me, bread and butter easy fun.

T&T's has been pretty quiet, if you gottta post, be a player, not a hater.

it can be annoying but I've got it to sound pretty darn interesting tonight. I finally have a use for scale... never really liked the idea of scale before.

as far as that one als peaking my system out I think it had something to do with the plugs that I don't have on my system. after removing the empty boxes from the song it seemed to run alot better. that and yes I do have a slower system but I can usually run songs that are really complex. the one I was just working on is quite comparable in how many plugs are running and it was crystal clear.

how do we post songs files on here?
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

that's interesting, I would have thought that would be a "no-op". (I left those in there to illustrate which ones I was using for add'l fx).

You need to have a site to push files to, and then post your link to that.
UTENZIL a tool... of the muse.
