Hi all! Im starting creating an arpeggiator and a trancegate from the step lfo. I managed to create something that is quite near a basic. What became difficult is on how to sync the arp/tg. Because if i play one single note for a period of time (e.g. 8/4) the arp/tg is synced. But if i push two notes at different times i have an offset. (and tempo gone). A trancegate and an arp, should be synced for every note click. true? 😠 So, i should maybe learn how to use PPQ pos if needed, or even detect tempo. Should, at note play, start from the correct quarter.. 🙁

I post here, hope someone help me.. and also teach me 😍

Or.. should i use one single voice with arp?

Try this. i've added two sync module's I found a while ago. Worked good for me. You'll find the sync attached to ramp osc's.

This add a delay and does not sync... Don't know where to start from.. 😀 i'll take a look at this maybe with some changes will work.

Do it all with streams, counter in stream. Should sync to soundcard clock. edit- change the step LFO timing out for a counter, if u get sync problems. Ramp is not the best option IMO

Try starting from Acrobatic Tools > SOUND folder > Sync Song & Basic Sync modules, they use PPQ... 😉

Im just becoming crazy. 😉 Is so difficult to make a multi voice arp? the fact is starting from: chords. So. if i use one single voice is easy to make an arp running with a ramp.. but i'm going crazy to find a way for making 2nd, 3rd... voice in sync. The fact is that a note, should be mute, until it reach the correct index. so | | | | - | | | | - for example where - plays. Anyone has already a chord?

I'm not sure if that's what you're after but maybe it's a good starting point for creating what you need. It's just a mono (synced) version of the ramp which is triggered only once a not with every new note. If you really want to play different notes on different indexes you have to go way further than that.

Wow thats great. But why using mono? I don't realize because that happen.. 😀
