Are there any AUv3 Arpeggiators that have key retrigger?
I was using Magellan 2 in Keystage until I ran into issues with it when I updated to iOS 15 so now I'm looking for another app or apps to replace it. Magellan's arps works similar to the way arps work on my Roland hardware which has two ways of playing depending on whether I play the notes legato or not. If I play it legato then the time between each arpeggiated note is fixed so if I hold down one note and then release it while hitting the next note in between the arpeggiated notes then the arp for that second note continues fixed to the same timing as the first note. If however I don't play legato between notes then when I hit the second note the arp starts immediately when I hit that note which allows me to start an arp for instance on the and of a beat for instance. In other words it retriggers the arp rather than have a fixed timing for the arpeggiator provided you don't play it in a legato fashion. I assumed that Arpbud 2 would allow me to retrigger the arp as well but it doesn't.
I hope that explanation makes sense to you. I have tried to see if I could find something on this in the manuals for my Roland gear or Magellan to reference but couldn't find anything specific on it. I did however find an explanation of this functionality in the Logic Pro User Guide where they discuss the Alchemy arpeggiator controls under the heading Key Trigger pop-up menu.
Are there any AUv3 arpeggiators that any of you know of that has this retrigger functionality which would allow the the arp to start the moment you hit a note rather than being fixed to a grid?

@Howard do you need it to be configurable? If not, then I think Rozeta's arp behaves like you want.
Edit: disregard Rozeta, it only behaves like that if it's not receiving MIDI clock.
Drambo's MIDI Arp module is configurable ("Host Sync"), you can use it as a MIDI effect in any host you want
Thanks for checking further into Rozeta, @NoiseFloored. I'll have a look at Drambo.
StepPolyArp?
Does StepPolyArp work both ways, @mojozart?
