Notes node
Arpeggiator
Takes held notes and breaks them into a rhythmic, tempo-locked pattern — Up, Down, Up-Down, Random, As-Played, and a dozen more traversal modes — with 1 to 4 octaves of range.
What it does
Arpeggiator is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.
Try it
Hold a chord from Chorder and let the Arpeggiator turn it into a driving pattern.
