Arpeggiator MIDI plug-in options parameters in Logic Pro for iPad

Options parameters

• Note Length knob: Define the length of arpeggiated notes. This ranges from 1 to 150%.

  Note: This is a global scaling parameter that retains the relative length differences between individual steps that may have been changed in Grid mode.

• Note Length Rnd knob: Set the amount of random note length variation.

• Velocity Range knob: Determine the maximum range of possible velocity values for arpeggiated notes. At the far right position (100%), the original velocities of recorded or played notes are retained. At the far left position (0%), the original velocities of recorded or played notes are ignored and all notes are output at a constant velocity.

• Velocity Base field: Drag vertically to set (or tap to type) a minimum velocity value used for random velocity modulations and (de-)crescendos.

• (De-)Crescendo/Velocity Random knob: Set the strength of the random or (de-)crescendo velocity variation for the mode chosen in the Velo Alteration pop-up menu.

  • When Velo Alteration is set to Random: The velocity values of all notes are randomized symmetrically by the set amount. At a value of 0% there is no randomization applied. At a value of 100% the velocity values are completely randomized.

  • When Velo Alteration is set to (De-)Crescendo: The set amount is added to, or subtracted from, the velocity of all notes on each arpeggio repetition, starting with the second cycle.

• Velo Alteration pop-up menu: Switch between two modes: Random and (De-)Crescendo. The amount of variation is controlled with the Velocity Random knob. The range of the (de-)crescendo or possible random velocities is set with the Velocity Range and Velocity Base parameters.

• Swing knob and field: Set the strength of note swing. Swing moves every second note closer to the nearest downbeat. A value of 0% results in no note movement, whereas a value of 100% results in extreme note movement.
