Mozaic (H)arps

I finally got into making a script with Mozaic. I made a chord arpeggiator
and went out into the Moonlight.

@McD - this is LOVELY. I'd love to hear you develop this with some orchestration. Very simple but extremely effective. Nice note choices.

I cracked open the Mozaic manual to learn to script with some interesting features. Like most of my script hacking I try to get one simple thing working and then just keep adding features.

I started with a version where one MIDI note input is converted to chords (using C major as a tonal center). Then I added a C minor option.

Then I learned to use the knobs to select the major vs minor.

Then I added a transpose knob to cover the other 11 key centers.

Then I added "broken chord" playing of the chords using the DAW's "metronome" (BPM).

And finally I added echoes of the notes tied to more knobs for number of echoes and delay length.

I wanted to create something so I went with the broken chord arpeggio version and "played"
this example. I'm basically playing single notes in the key of C and seeing what the resulting
melody sounds like.

@McD are you planning on posting it on Patch Storage?

I will after making it easier to "read". A program that works and one that's
presentable are two different things. I'm sure there are good chord/arp programs already on Patch Storage.
