The sequence and speed of the pattern can be controlled by the device, which also provides a full complement of both classic and original arpeggiator features.<\/p>\n

Let\u00b4s go a little further and use several arpeggiators one after the other.<\/p>\n

Starting with a simple chord progression we add the first arpeggiator which is going to play a sequence of the notes the chords consist of. The order of the played notes is determined by the style pop-up menu.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11703″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1531328929511{padding-top: 24px !important;padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Right after, we add a second Arpeggiator which is going to arpeggiate the notes from the first Arpeggiator. A third, and so on. Arpeggiator can be stacked resulting in very unique and original note patterns.

Try different swing modes to add even more groove to the rhythm. We have done it in the second one. Also, a free rate in the last one can add a very dramatic feeling to the scene. Apply modulation to this latest rate, a slow lfo would work well, sine or triangle are my favorite for slow modulations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11702″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1531328995659{padding-top: 24px !important;padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”11697″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1531329005817{padding-top: 24px !important;padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”][vc_column_text]To visualize what the arpeggiators are doing, we can create a new MIDI clip and set the incoming MIDI messages from the arpeggiator channel, arm the track and press record.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11699″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1531329063142{padding-top: 24px !important;padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”11698″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1531329072224{padding-top: 24px !important;padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”11700″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1531329085435{padding-top: 24px !important;padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”][vc_column_text]The result of stacking three arpeggiators one after the other.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11701″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1531329111673{padding-top: 24px !important;padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

We can all agree that MUSIC and how it sounds & makes us feel is the most important thing that we do as Producers\/Composers\/Beatmakers, etc. Now, when you think of the phrase \u201cMusic Production\u201d, you can\u2019t really help but think about the second word \u201cPRODUCTION\u201d, which is derived from the latin word \u201cproducere\u201d (which means to bring forth). With regards to \u201cMusic Production\u201d, we are really referring to the overall sound of a musical recording but we are also referring to how it is actually created and formulated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[341,342],"tags":[385,384,382,383,386],"class_list":["post-11696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ableton","category-tutorials","tag-ableton-arp-the-arp","tag-ableton-live-arpeggiate-the-arpeggiator","tag-arp-the-arp-in-ableton","tag-arpeggiate-the-arpeggiator-in-ableton","tag-creative-tools-in-ableton-live"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mia.garnishmusicproduction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mia.garnishmusicproduction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mia.garnishmusicproduction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mia.garnishmusicproduction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/51"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mia.garnishmusicproduction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mia.garnishmusicproduction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11696\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mia.garnishmusicproduction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mia.garnishmusicproduction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mia.garnishmusicproduction.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
