great vid! I'd seen the dual arps before, but never had the chords and all the flow described so well. the only thing I'd append to this is something I sometimes do: create another track taking MIDI out from this arp track and recording it to a clip. From there you can apply groove, reduce or move notes from a sections you want to keep

@1nfinitezer0 yeah I should've mentioned that in the vid. you can also stick a drum kit or a sliced up vocal at the end of the chain instead of a synth and you'll get even crazier results.

maybe its me but i rather hear a Brit or Scottish voice for a tut.. we sound all pissed off Lol.no offense bro and thanks for the knowledge.

what you found sounds like cow taking a shit but thanks for the tips and techniques , I think it can only sound good if you know minimum what you're doing. Accidents happen but they are not called accident for nothing.
