Grooves in Arpeggiator behave similarly to grooves in clips, and the intensity of the groove is determined by the Amount slider in the Groove Pool (see ‘Groove Pool’). The rhythmic pattern generated by Arpeggiator does not necessarily have to be straight a selection of groove patterns can be applied with the respective control just beneath the Mode chooser.

Any setting larger than 100% will therefore play notes that overlap (i.e., are legato). With Sync chosen, Arpeggiator will be synced to the song tempo.Ī Gate control to the right of Rate determines the length of notes played by Arpeggiator as a percentage of the current Rate setting.

Random Once creates one random pattern from incoming MIDI notes and repeats that pattern until the incoming MIDI changes, at which point a new pattern is created.Īrpeggiator will play the pattern of notes at the speed set by the Rate control, which can be calibrated in either milliseconds or beat-time using the neighboring Sync/Free button.

Random Other creates random patterns from incoming MIDI notes, but will not repeat a given note until all other incoming notes have been used.

Choosing Random will produce a continuously randomized sequence of the incoming MIDI notes.

In addition to the Arpeggiator styles above, there is a Chord Trigger mode which repeats the incoming notes as a block chord, as well as three settings for creating random arpeggios: This is therefore only recognizable when more than one chord or note has been played. Play Order places notes in the pattern according to the order in which they are played. “Arpeggio“ is derived from the Italian word “arpeggiare,“ which refers to playing notes on a harp.Īrpeggiator’s Style chooser determines the sequence of notes in the rhythmical pattern. The name originates with the musical concept of the “arpeggio,“ in which the notes comprising a chord are played as a series rather than in unison.

The sequence and speed of the pattern can be controlled by the device, which also provides a full complement of both classic and original arpeggiator features.Īrpeggiators are a classic element in Eighties synth music. Live’s Arpeggiator effect takes the individual MIDI notes from a held chord (or single note), and plays them as a rhythmical pattern. The Working with Instruments and Effects chapter (see ‘Working with Instruments and Effects’) explains the basics of using effects in Live. Live comes with a selection of custom-designed, built-in MIDI effects.
