Is it possible to implement ratchet sequencing like the electronic musical group Tangerine Dream within Cubase’s arpeggiator? There is a third party plugin called ‘Ratchit’ that does ratchet sequencing, however, it is Windows-only, and I am on a Mac.
Thanks. Since I am the owner of Cubase Elements (and will be upgrading to regular Cubase 7.5 very soon) I can’t use Cubase’s included arpeggiator. I am now demoing chtulu but can’t figure out how to set it up in Cubase. Couldn’t find the manual either and apparently it isn’t of much help anyways. Do you mind showing or telling me how to setup chthulu in Cubase? Or, perhaps you can provide a link to some instructions?
Load Chthulu as an instrument. On the VSTi you want Chthulu to drive, go to the MIDI input and in the drop down you should see Chthulu. Set both the Chthulu track and the VSTi track to monitor on. The weird symbol at the top left (next to the speaker icon) of Chthulu is the latch option, so you can hit a single note to start and transpose the arp. Turn the speaker icon off as that is Chthulus internal sound, which is pretty awful.
