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). The Max Patch itself can be found here.

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
