Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in
MainStage Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in overview
The Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in generates musically interesting arpeggios based on
incoming MIDI notes. It provides split and remote features that let you control nearly all
Arpeggiator functions without taking your hands off the keyboard, making it a powerful live
performance tool.
An arpeggio is a succession of notes in a chord. Rather than all notes being played at
one time, they are played one after the other in a pattern: up, down, random, and so on.
The Arpeggiator plug-in provides a number of preset patterns, inclusive of switchable
variations and inversions. Inversions change the root note of the chord from the lowest
note, resulting in a different start note in arpeggiated patterns. These features let you
quickly switch between patterns and feels when performing live, or when creating new
projects in the studio.
The Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in is divided into three areas.
