Flecko Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 I know what the meaning of arpeggio is ( http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=arpeggio .)But I want to know exactly how an arpeggiator works in a synth. I mean, how do you/would you implement one? By rapidly playing the note over and over as the person holds down a key or what?I just wonder if anyone has any further explanation or discussion, as I might want to include an arpeggiator on my synth.Thanks all,-Flecko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Basically what an arpeggiator will do is arpeggiate a chord you play. So let's say your arpeggitor is set to "Up" mode and is set to spawn 2 octaves, then if you hit the C chord (C E G), it will play those notes in a sequence at a certain predefined speed. So in 2 octaves it would playC E G C E Gyou can set it to up down then it will playC E G C E G C G E C G E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flecko Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Ok, that makes perfect sense. Does anyone have any links to any samples of arpeggio?I'll check around on the site and see if I can find any. This sounds like something cool I'd like to implement. Hopefully I can get it right without having to do too much guesswork.Thanks,-FleckoEDIT: Found some examples, this is awesome. I....must...implement!
