Arpeggiator?

Post by countlove » Mon Feb 07, 2005 3:34 am

Hmm I have a mini moog voyager right?

Well I was checking out the minimoog software synth and it has an Arpeggiator.. How do I get one for the Voyager? Also the software version has multiple voices... Thats so unfair..

Is there some kind of setting I am missing with my voyager to get Arpeggiator?

thanks

You aren't missing a setting.....but your Voyager is :(

You will have to use an external device.

Afraid not, though I'm sure there are people here who can.

When I need to arpeggiate I use my Triton Pro X.

How about Moog building an arpeggiator of their own?

That would be cool. But I think they'd rather release a new t-shirt :lol:

The simplest way is just use a free software arp program on your computer via midi and turn local keyboard off on your voyager so it sends midi to the computer and the software sends midi out to your MMV. Maybe just use google to find em since i have seen em around quite a bit over the years.

Or you could use Cubase, Logic, Cakewalk, etc, to do the same thing. An arpeggiator is just a miniature dedicated sequencer. With a little experiementation with a Sequencer program, I think you'll find that you can do far more with it than any hardware or software arpeggiator. Since the MMV responds to CC's as well as MIDI note ON/OFF, you could have quite a few sequences running at once to control notes, filter sweeps, articulation parameters, etc. And don't forget that you can seperately control the pitch of each oscillator this way, meaning that you can realize chorded sequences, too.
