I am well aware. But people don't often hold chords when the pitches are getting offset. Unless they are custom octave positions. It gets pretty tough to control what you are playing. I can understand a transposed sequence (ie. holding one key at a time at different pitches). When people use the pitch offset in an arp, it is typically to make a sequence. That's all I was saying.

As for arp speed being the same as note length, no, not what I meant. But that too is a note length. What I'm talking about is a global gate more accurately. But arps often label it as "Length", like in Omnisphere.



Ahhhhh.... a global gate! I would also like that as a continuous knob that is modulatable...

As for the pitch change and chords, it can be done fine if you use the next/same/first/last to control errant notes... takes a little forethought... anyway, I appreciate the ability to do so

but that is more about the Zebra arp than Diva

cheers

Consider an option to make step seq mod source (maybe even step seq per voice).


Yes! Please! Smile

Hehehe, if we make the step seq a modsource we end up with the same dilemma as in Zebra/FilterscapeVA where people want to run this without triggering notes. Not quite sure if I want to go there.

In Zebra of course on could use ModMappers to create sequences that run both along with the sequencer or without e.g. by tracking an LFO.

Not sure.

As for the per-voice idea... intrigueing indeed. I do however hope to be able to separate Arp and sequencer in such a way that we can still import Zebra2 patches in Z3. There we need to be able to set a max number of voices per step. This is much like storing chord progressions and it's kind of difficult to marry that concept with triggering multiple sequences. I think... not sure...

Well, how about this: aditional waveform for LFO, called lets say Staircase, with 4 steps where you could set 4 diferent levels (in essence, LFO synced 4 step sequencer). Yes, I know, not very likely 'cus you would have to mess with UI (either another bottom center panel or switching LFO part of UI). And then to throw cherry on top add single shot option for LFO.

On the side of slightly more reasonable requests: pleas please please, add "Unipolar" option for LFOs (like, bipolar swings from -1 to 1, uni swings from 0 to 1). What would be even better is to have two simultaneous outputs for each LFO, so in mod source list we would have "LFO1 uni", "LFO1 bi", "LFO2 uni" and "LFO2 bi" (that should be doable if LFO level control is last process in LFO block, so only that part would have to be duplicated).
This and input level control for filter and I'm set (ok, I have book-long list of unreasonable requests that I wont mention now).

Unipolar option has been planned for *ages*.

I'm getting more intrigued by the polyphonic sequencer idea. It should be possible, but the main issue is that polyphonic play modes can't slide then. Monophonic playmodes wouldn't play chords (of course) but could play polyphonic sequences with slides on 16 channels.

We'll see...

At first I got puzzled but then I figured out that we are thinking about different poly sequencer concepts. I've envisioned something like this: each Note On triggers it's own instance of sequencer with scaled notes (if first note in sequence is C3 and Note On is D3 all notes in sequence are played shifted up by 2 semitones). Sequence would either stop on Note Off or retrig when that voice is used again. That would be chromatic poly sequencer. Another (probably much more useful) option would be diatonic sequencer (I wont bother ATM with all the details about that idea).


BTW, while we're at wishes (and I've bothered you before about this): could Osc1->Resonance happen (it could share same UI space with standard Filter FM, just another switch would be added to choose target for Osc1, either frequency or resonance)?

edit: both ideas are targeted at Diva not Zebra
