Well let's hope this 'give away' gimmick (Yes I did pay for mines back in the day) is a sign of a new version to come. Seem like 7Aliens is talking about version 2 of Catanya... Hope to see it in my lifetime..

OK, now let me scan KVR to see who have developed another synth...

Yeah I'm not sure that is in the works, I think he is just working on his loops. I actually asked him about it a month or so ago and he said that he'd post it soon as a freebie on his new website. I don't believe it will be updated or supported. Actually this is from his email response to my request:



But as it is it a a very nice freebie, in some ways I prefer it to Catanya. An update to Catanya is coming but per 7aliens developer it will be a while yet, maybe a year.

Braj... I guess I need to take up programming.

yeah I'd love to frankenstein together my ultimate arp too!

BTW CK Pattern Arp Plus is another very excellent and cheap arp, 8 UK pounds I think, and another interesting unconventional take on arpaggiation. If you aren't familiar with it check it out, the demo is limited to internal, simple synth sound BTW, don't let that dissuade you. It is incredibly musical.

Looks just like Catanya

That one looks ok. Sort of Guru style pattern concept. Interesting indeed...

Yeah, but it has a few differences:

it can trigger 32nd notes!
it has gate settings
it has some offset setting (though I am not seeing huge effect playing with that yet)
it has more flexible timing, allowing the whole pattern to be seen in one view (Catanya you have to scroll when it is 32 steps long).

I love Catanya but welcome the differences. Missing is the cool 'scale' velocity and preset system of Catanya. The number of presets i think are less, and the browser isn't categorized like Catanys, though I love all the funny names Scooby doobie dooo!!!

Also the interface isn't as huge as Catanya, making it more laptop friendly.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I've seen this before and it works as good as it looks.

All - What about Arto Vaarala - Kirnu.
Any thoughts?

Kirnu is great, does a ton of stuff these plugins don't do, and is free too, but it is a more traditional arp. It is cool and I finally sent the dev a donation recently a definite no brainer! I have as many arps I think now as synths and they all have their own unique feel. Even arps on many synths are all pretty unique and usually one of the first things I check out on a new synth.

if anyone has Timecore and can provide me a download link please do so. the loopmasons link is not working for me. thank you.
