Very good job explaining this, is there anyway you can play it without logic playing?

[JamesAndrewMuir]

@rsvltmusic Thanks, I'm not aware of a way of hearing the Arp without Logic being in play, maybe someone else will chip in ?

If you add a chord memorizer to that same channel strip in the environment you can actually choose which keys are played back in the arpeggiator...i found that useful.

@TheTubeLawyer Ooh, I've never tried that, one for the list.

Thanks for the tip.

@frazmatazzzz I'm not aware of, doesn't mean there isn't, a way to automatically generate swung arpeggios in Logic. Without adding anything external to Logic I'd play my arps in manually then quantise to my chosen musical subdivision. Obviously there's third party soft synths that have a plethora of arpeggiation options, Omnisphere and Albino spring to mind. But they are both "paid for" so approach with the appropriate scepticism!

Hey man,

I have a question:

In dance music today, it is very common to have swung arpeggiation but I can't seem to find the 'swing' option...

its been irritating, why are the only options straight 16ths etc, I want swing 16c options like in the quantise section.

@skywardism Glad to do it, thanks for taking the time to comment.

@TheNewCons Do a real time bounce and it should work fine. If it's not that come back to me and we'll try again.
