AU to spread or arpeggiate chords?

mistercharlie

I'm looking for an AU that can take a chord, and "roll" the notes so they're not all played at the same time.

I don't want an arpeggiator that just makes a rhythm from the notes in a chord—I have plenty of those. I'm looking for something that will take a chord and spread it out over time.

Any ideas?

Do you mean "take a chord" ... from external input? Or "take a chord" that's generated in the app that's doing the spreading out.

I was planning to use it with the chord keyboard in Logic Pro, so I would play the chord there, and the AUv3 would spread out, or strum, the notes.

I can add a strum after the fact (with the Q-flam parameter in the quantizer), but I'd like it while I play live if possible.

Maybe using 2 of @wim's own Mozaic scripts would kind of give you what you're looking for:

Ah! Nice idea

The built-in Midi Scripter has some strum scripts that might do what You're after?

I wouldn’t buy Drambo just for the strum module, but it does have a great MIDI strum module.

Agreed! Was actually just using it this morning trying to simulate a guitar pedal. Chordjam > Drambo Strum Module > SteelGuitarPro

I will try Drambo!

Mela's Strummer module also does this quite nicely and you can set the direction for consecutive repeats (so first time you play a chord it strums up the second time it strums down, strum-time can be set in beat-divisions or milli-seconds)

I don’t have that pack for Mela, but Drambo is doing quite nicely

You can have up- and downstrokes in Drambo, too, if you assign a morph-module to the direction on the strum module. For Up and down alternating you could modulate the morph with a 2 step CV sequencer (first step 0, second 1) and clock the seq with the gate signal from a midi2cv.

NEAAAAT!!

I should have know the answer was “Drambo.” The answer is always “Drambo .”

This simple Mozaic script might help: https://patchstorage.com/chord-delay/

Can also build out MIDI module chains with a MIDI Switch 1-N, using the same gate setup on the index.

@timfromtheborder cool, a bit less fiddly to set up and more variation, when you want it.

Scaler 2 or 3 could do that.
