Harry Gerber Kybernetik proudly presents: arpXT, a reverse engineering of the famous Microwave II’s Arpeggiator.
It can be downloaded either as a standalone (23.7MB, Mac only) or a collective (1.3MB, Mac/Windows), which requiresMax 5.0.7 Runtimefrom cycling74.com). For the curious, here is a screenshot of the software.
Version 0.7 is still unfinished, there’s one shortcoming:
- Direction alternate/random is only working in hold mode.
Possible Bonus features planned (from Blofeld with love):
- Additional “One Shot” – mode for Active parameter.
- Additional “Alt Down” for Direction parameter.
- Length parameter for arpeggiator notes [1/96 .. 48 bars / Legato]
- Overlap: optional noteoffs for notes with same pitch.
- Timing Factor: optional time shift (”shuffle”) the arp timing of individual arpeggiator notes [0..127]
- Additional “Velocity Each Note” / Fixed Velocity [fix 32 / fix 64 / fix 100 / fix 127]
- Additional Pattern Parameters:
- Step (position -> [off, on, prev, first, last, first+last, chord, random
- Accent [silent, -96, -64, -32, +0, +32, +64, +96]
- Glide sends channel message 65 [off / on]
- Timing [random / -3...+3] (if Timing Factor == 127 -> a 1/16th note is delayed up to a 1/32th, pos or neg.)
- Length [legato / -3...+3]
Happy sequencing, Michael
