Order-programmable arpeggiator

in General App Discussion

I know that variants of this question have been asked and answered many times here, but I don’t seem to have found the specific functionality I’m looking for.

In brief: is there an arpeggiator in which the numeric order of the selected notes can be specified? So for instance, if I’m playing a five note chord into it, I can instruct the arpeggiator to select and pass through notes 1, 5, 2, 3, 4 in that order?

StepPolyArp, the fan favorite here, doesn’t do this as far as I can tell. In arp mode you can select from a few orders - up, down, up/down, random, etc - but if you start playing with the events on the lanes you’re transposing the notes, not selecting.

At this point I’m assuming that no available arpeggiator provides this, and that I’ll have to use Mozaic. But I haven’t found a script already written for this, in which case I’ll have to cobble it together my own.

Am I missing something?

    Ioniarics by Page​fall has an 'order' mode, you'll need to play the notes in slightly staggered so it knows which one is 1, which is 2, etc but if you do that, it will arp them in the order you want

    StepPolyArp does do this...
    When you tap on a note in the sequencer you'll get the "Event Edit" popup. In the "order" section you can specify which chord note will play which I think gives you exactly what you want.

    @garden ArpBud can exactly do that and more! :smile:

    Thanks all.
    @cem_olcay your widget is exactly what I was looking for.
    @Gavinski I’d never heard of that one before. Interesting.
    @andrewmalone All this time I’d thought that parameter did something else!
    @bleep Cool. New Mozaic scripts to discover are always a pleasure.

    StepPolyArp can do that.

    Update. I thought it could, maybe check manual. I’m a bit lost.

    Update 2, lol, I see someone explained it a bit better. StepPolyArp is super deep.

    It’s pretty immense. I feel like I still only take advantage of half its features. I keep saying I’ll fully dive in one day but even the immediate stuff is super powerful.

    Yes, StepPolyArp can do this, if I’ve understood your original post. To arp through the notes in the desired order:

    Diagram Key

    1 … Notes are numbered in increasing pitch order, so 1 is lowest … you can specify which input note(s) to play at each step. To set this up, tap the block and select the numbered step from the options. (See diagram below)

    2 … To cycle round a 5 note chord, set lane length to 5

    3 … To play multiple notes at once, use multiple lanes, but set their Transpose value to 0 first (drag up/down on the number to change pitch).

    1. Change C Major to C Chromatic. (Defaults to C Major annoyingly).
