Nemesis has got some decent ones.

But I love it's arp anyway. It's got some great features and is so quick to program.

Sylenth 1 has loads too.

Or any synth (just add a good arp vst) ...

With the new drum kit + poly sequence record features it'll be more powerful starting tomorrow

There's some great stuff in ArcSynth.

Arcsyn has some great sequences but it's not really an arpeggiator in the original sense of holding a chord and having individual notes from the chord played at different times (at least not from what I can tell.)

Here's a list I came up with having "true" arpeggiators (certainly not comprehensive though):

albino 3
alchemy
blade
blue II
codex
corona
cryologic
cypher
discovery pro
diva
diversion
dune
dune 2
electraX
element
falcon
filterscapeVA
firebird
fm8
fusor
gladiator
harmor
helix
hive
hybrid 3
imposcar
jupiter-8v
largo
lush-101
mpowersynth
nave
nemesis
oatmeal
omnisphere 2
OP-X Pro
phonec
podolski
poizone
polyKB II
ppg wave 3.v
predator
rayblaster
saurus
sawer
spectral
spire
strobe
sylenth
synth1
synthmaster
sytrus
tal-u-no-lx
vacuum pro
wavemapper 2
wusik4000/8000
wusikstation
z3ta+2
zebra 2

why limit yourself to one synth with preset arps when you can have incredible unique arps on every synth?

Indeed,
Squaredheads Nora Phrase Arp contains some very cool presets.
Hundreds and hundreds to choose from covering a lot of different
genres.
Its hard to beat a dedicated Arp especially one as powerful as Nora.

and thats not even counting the highly configurable randomizer.

i think "randomizer" was poor choice of words. they should have called it a generator. its very controllable and not really "random" at all.

Cthulhu all the way its pretty much the best Midi Arp out there imo

also it has a chord thinggie called bachoral and it has all these amazing daft-punkish Chords per each keys on your keyboard

if u have logic u just get the "Midi fx freeze plugin"(its free you can donate if u want)
http://www.audiocr.com/midi-fx-freeze/

it convert mid FX to notes as if u played the notes by hand, its really quick and easy drag and drop

forgot to mention Kirnu's "cream" is pretty cool
http://www.kirnuarp.com/

Here is an old free version of cream here
http://www.artovaarala.com/download/download.php

Computer music has a "CM" version of Kirnu's "cream"
i think its a little better than the old free version

haven't tried but there is alos BlueARP

My Top 5 arps (in a synth included) for me are:
Zebra 2
Alchemy (2)
Hive
Sunrizer
Omnisphere 2

Cthulhu is the king for me....but it's no synth

When I'm reaching for an arp - I somehow always start flicking thru the presets of Z3ta2

color me happy

BlueARP is awesome, I was playing around with it a lot, same thing with Cream.
I don't know why talking about vsti arp presets when you can take arpeggiator and arp everything and then to automate some vsti knobs to get interesting things.

Lacking a Randomizer though. In its current state its not much different than using a regular Piano roll in the Daw.
I think that's why I like Nora it reminds me of the Fruity Chopper on steroids

which is super cool.
Ok I am Lazy but sometimes Lazy is good.

Obscurium comes with tons of weird and wonderful arp/seq patches

Which VST synth has the coolest Arp presets?
