I'd do a search for 'arpeggiators' in the forum as a start - I'm sure I've seen some threads on this subject, but from what I remember reading it's notoriously tricky to implement. Synthmaker is fantastic for making synths etc. that make cool noises, but manipulating note data in real time leaves a lot of people scratching their heads. Don't let me put you off too much though - there's some real experts who are happy share their wisdom knocking about on the forum - but be prepared for a steep learning curve if you're new to SM. Actually, search for 'arps' coz us geeks can be damn lazy typists!

Thanks for the elucidating comment 🙂

I know there's a huge demand for a product like this.. check out this thread on Catanya: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... highlight=

It has over 28k views and so many comments

I'm an internet marketer so if anyone wants to join forces and tackle this project.. I can help develop the product and market it.

I'm a 20+ year pianist who uses Ableton Live so I definitely have my chord theories down and know how to make this a great app for many users.

Spooky 😈 , I just posted some links to KVR myself only yesterday - a couple of us were scratching our heads trying to work out how to do MIDI plugins (no audio) using SM, and KVR came up trumps with the solution. I popped the details onto the Wiki... [old link] Nce to have someone else here who doesn't just want to make yet another TB303/Moog/Prophet...(delete as applicable) clone. Good luck with the project - I'll keep an eye out for it (I'm a bit busy with my Mickey Mouse/Darth Vader a capella voice mangler to help out myself right now 😕 )

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
