The Logic Off Topic list

Well, I am not experienced in this kind of music at all, but I'm having
quite a bit of fun with Logics environment objects, including arpeggiators
and (especially) chord memorizers. And no, in contrary to what Hendrik Jan
said, I don't use them because I don't know the difference between a D and a
C but because of all the new soundscapes that all of a sudden appear.

I made an extremely small example you coud get here:
www.saschafranck.de/arpchords.zip
(Note: This requires an existing EXS, and you should try to keep the file
structure intact as otherwise the EXS won't find its instrument which I
included as well - no worries, the complete file is only 52KB though).

When you open it you will hopefully see an arrange page with two very simple
sequences, the opened EXS at the bottom, a small audio fader at the left and
two small environments showing cable switchers for some chord memorizers and
some arpeggiators (all made to fit my single 17").

Just press play (the first sequence should cycle) and then check out the two
included chord memorizers. I like that. The applied delays almost make it
sound kinda "arpeggio-ish".
Then switch around between the arpeggiators... actually the second sequence
makes more sense for being used with an arpeggiator, so set your cycle
around it (note, after hitting start at the beginning of that sequence it's
gonna be kinda loud because apparently virtual instruments still need a bit
more time to "lock" with environment objects - to avoid that start a bit
earlier)

IMO that's a whole bunch of different things coming out of two so simple
sequences. And actually I don't think I would've ever played such things in
realtime (even if my technical abilities were good enough to do so).

Oh, don't forget to play around with the EXSs ADSRviaVEL, Cutoff and
Resonance parameters all throughout this.

Btw, on Screenset 2 you will see how everything is cabled, on Screenset 5
you will find the click and ports layer which contains an octave switcher
(which - I noticed that after uploading - is set to one octave down) and
another version of the chord memorizer thing which you could switch on if
you'd like to have those chords recorded - and of course in combination with
the realtime chord memorizer thingy it'd be good for even more madness.

Hm, excuse my kinda lame environment layout, I know I could've used aliases
and stuff, but I usually reorder things that often, so it wouldn't make
sense for me.

As said, not exactly my way of making music but I'm having fun with such
stuff though.
