Question about the arpeggiator

[hordur]

Hi everyone!

I'm attempting to set up an arpeggiator pattern where, upon pressing a key, it plays one note, and then repeats that note three times, each one octave higher. Essentially, the pattern should consist of one initial note when the key is pressed, followed by three repetitions of the same note, each one octave above the previous one. How can I achieve this using the arpeggiator?

Hi, as you've probably figured out ... it's easy to get the arp to give the repeating notes up octaves, but the thing you can't do is specify that it should start running when you press the key. So this means you can't make it start at the bottom each time. The same is true of the filters as far as I'm aware.

I figured it out by using two different layers with different arp patterns

Interesting - could you explain more? Do you just mean two similar arpeggios on two different layers, but for example one doing 2 or 4 octaves (or maybe just one?) so you're always likely to get a lower note?

I wanted to hear the note I pressed once on the first beat, and then I wanted it to play one octave higher three times in a rhythm pattern I made. I attempted to achieve this on one layer, but I could only accomplish it by using two synth layers.

Hi... thanks. So was the solution to use panning? I achieved this by having Synth A with a pattern where it plays first note, then second up octave, then first but panned fully L, then next up octave, then first but panned fully L, then next up octave. Then panned this slot fully right so you don't hear the lower octave notes.
And then did the opposite on Synth B panned fully L.

And activated KB Sync.

Or did you achieve it some other way?

I made a pattern in the arp menu and then i copied the layer and pasted it on layer B. I made the synth on layer B one octave higher than layer A and than I took out the notes from the pattern on layer A that i did not want to be heard and did the same to layer B so together it did the job i wanted

Ah nice, yes that is a simpler solution than my panning solution - nice work!
