Advanced Arpeggiator Programming Techniques

In most of our recent packs, you'll find racks that look like a maze. Racks with a lot of devices, sometimes for a single purpose. These purposes can be summarized in a collection of tricks and techniques.

We're not trying to keep these tips and techniques a secret. But it isn't easy to explain them all. Because there are so many techniques and for each technique there are even more tricks.

For this reason, we have decided to try out some new ways of sharing this knowledge. In this topic about Live's Arpeggiator and the many techniques we have used in the past to create more interesting rack, we will share a few short videos that explain some of the tricks we utilize. 

The videos can be described as Intermediate to Advanced tutorial videos for Live users. Its assumed that you have read the manual and want to learn things that cant be found in the manual or anywhere else on the internet for that matter.

The first video of this topic is about muting certain notes in an arpeggiator sequence. This allows you to create more dynamic Arpeggiator patterns.

The second video shows how to make "Arpeggiated Glides" and illustrates a few ways to get different results.

The fourth video explains how you can use a MIDI Clip as an Arpeggiator.

By holding 2 notes, you can assign a range of keys to almost any parameter in Live.
In the video, I'm assigning a range from C-2 to G8.
If you just hold C-2 and G8, then the Root Note will be C-2.
If you start by holding C1 and press C-2 + G8 before you end the C1, then your Root Note will be C1.

While in the process of creating new videos, I came across an old trick that would make a perfect Part 5 in my Advanced Arpeggiator Programming Techniques series.
I've used this trick a lot, but its one of those things that is either a bug or something inexplicable.
 
The trick is the use of overlapping notes on Arpeggiators chained in parallel. When 2 Arpeggiators are producing the same notes, it will sound like there is only 1 Arpeggiator at work (as it should). But what happens if overlapping notes have different velocities?
I've discovered a way to make a chain the master chain. That means, I can make a note decay from 127 to 0 over 5 seconds and let another Arpeggiator take over when the sound is completely decayed. All you need to do is move around a few chains and hope for the best. But once you got it set up as you want it to be, you can save it as a MIDI Effect Rack or Instrument preset for later use. Thats pretty much the craziest thing you'll find in the Traces 1 and MIDI Muses Live packs. This little trick has only been a secret for so long, only because I'm not sure how to explain it. I made this video to clarify this and illustrate it with an example, so I hope it leaves you enlightened rather than confused.
