If i wanted to purchase a plug-in which would provide me with an ARPEGGIATOR then which one would you recommend please ?? i have heard a lot of members posts on here which are of the Dance music type genre, and i am very sure Arpeggiators have been used to create such music. i would like to learn about how to create Dance type music using my Cubase Artist 6 and Halsion Sonic. But as i say, i think the addition of and Arpeggiator would be an assest from a musical and a learning curve point of view.
i am new to this and so that is why my question is on such a basic level.
Thanks. This looks very good. The only thing i am worried about it that i have never installed free downloads because i have always been worried about viruses . i know lots of people who always download free software but it has always concerned me because i once downloaded Winamp and some free Visualisations and ended up wrecking my PC !! So i have always thought that if you PAY for a BOXED version then you can’t go wrong.
i wondered if Steinberg made one which you could purchase as a download (or boxed) version from the Cubase site but i do not think this is the case. i will have a look at the Arpache tonight and see what it is like. i only really want something to get me up and running…
Did i not just say i could not see it in the manual !! And if i could see it mentioned in there then obviously i would not be posting this thread would i !!
I’m sure there’s a tutorial somewhere for it, but in short it needs some midi input from the track, which it uses as a base to calculate the patterns.
You can start with a single note that extends for the entire duration of a loop, hook up the midi track to an instrument (software or hardware, doesn’t matter). Now play the cycle while experimenting with the controls in arpache. You can make the loop more complex using more notes or whole chords.
Thank you. There is one video on You Tube by Point Blank School and they more or less demonstrate what you suggest. i did not know that there was an Arp included in Artist 6 and so i am very pleased about that
My reply wasn’t meant to be sarcastic or along the lines of RTFM at all Just saying that with the PDF manuals all you need to do is control + F to search. You could have looked thru the main and plug in and found it and also an explanation as to how to use it. I don’t have any problem with posting questions. This would joust take you days to get an answer along with context that you could find in minutes. Anyway to each his own.
Alot of keyboards do have built in arpeggiators, but I’ve found Arpache SX to be highly editable. I have yet for it to come up with anything useable to my songs though.
I would personally probably use it more often if I had Cubase 6.5 instead of artist, because with the full version you can ‘export’ the midi generated by Arpache to the actual midi track so you can edit it further.
