Re: [xl7] Re: arp to midi out...

I want to make it (arpegiator) on arduino.
I have done hardware part and work on soft, but it`s so slowly (because i`m not good programmer)

As an experiment, I edited arp patterns on the fly with Prodatum software. The results were so great that I encouraged Jan Eidmann (who developed Prodatum) to do a standalone 32 channel live arp editor. However, I seem to recall that in the discussion the issue of using up flash rom cycles arose.

I do recall having a lot of fun doing on the fly editing with the Prodatum arp editor--changing end points, doing skips, etc. with a quick click of the mouse. But with the risk of premature flash rom burnt out (or would it be burn in?), I stopped.

So, it can be done with software, but I don't recommend it.

I am sure it would be possible to build an external device with a microprocessor to store arp patterns and edit them on the fly. Two summers ago, I hard coded a randomizing arp generator that sent midi data to my E-Mu. (I basically had an array with notes to be selected from. On the back burner is an arp controller with several sliders to do live performance mods. I would encourage others to experiment with expanding their E-Mus with customized (and customizable) microprocessor controllers.
