Greetings I'm trying to use an mseg to control the volume of the arpeggiated notes, will this work? Do I need to fake an arpeggiator with a user defined modmap in an lfo and use an mseg on the osc volume or amp or something else? Maybe I'm not thinking straight atm. I'm also unsure what arpmod does for me seems no matter when I use it I don't seem to notice any difference in the sound. I'm really new to synths and sound design in general. I'm also quite sleep deprived the holidays will do that to you. If I'm clueless and you understand what I'm trying to do please point me in the right direction, if you're a meanie you need not respond. Thx in advance to any who try to help me out. Also belated Happy Holidays to all.

PS. forgot to mention I'm working in zebra 2

Seems like an easier way would be to put the arp mod on the volume for the OSC (or all the OSC volumes if yer using multiple OSC in your patch) then go into the arp area and choose which notes you want louder and add some of that arp mod by drawing the line upwards. :)

I understand ha-ha, I'm just a work smarter not harder kinda guy *cough* lazy *cough*, so I usually look for a simpler way of doing stuff when I can. :)

To be honest I'm trying to absorb way too much info at once. I've been all over youtube watching any and every synth/sound editing/producer suite I could find. I've been watching endless song creation videos. I've been downloading every demo vst, freeware vst and what not ever made. I reinstalled my machine twice cause it was so full of music creation software that installed to wierd paths had to straighten this stuff out. I've also been trying to determine how I'd like to make music. I listen to a lot of different types of trance and although synth presets can be lacking I've found a few that are quite good tho pretty vanilla. Sample packs seem nice tho they become unwieldy and are full of many less useful sounds. I've come to the conclusion that really learning how to create with a synth will be key to me achieving the music I'm after. Synthwise I've tried or looked into way too many. A few seem quite nice and very similar. Others similar tho laid out completely differently. My post was brain dead I've got a better grasp of zebra than that post shows, I shouldn't have posted that as tired as I am. So far Zebra seems to be one of the nicer synths. That new synth urs is working on seems pretty sweet also *drool*. It seems synths are a matter off taste. I seem to like many different synths, vstation, vanguard, digidesign hybrid, ace, zebra 2, faw circle, karmafx, poizone and others. I'm hoping a few core sound sample packs a couple synths and maybe a drum vst of some sort along with flstudio, a slicer app and perhaps a midi keyboard will get me to where I'd like to be. Any chance you'd know of a vst thats similar to that oscilloscope in ableton I saw it in a video on youtube then lost the link now I cant recall what it was called *sigh*? it seems to display a wave that's pretty stationary tho will respond to filters and whatnot. I've tried a dontation/freeware one named smexoscope tho I dislike its colors the fact it doesn't seem to autoscale its overall movement seems the waves cycle back and forth. I was hoping for something more automated even if its less realistic/accurate that'll enable me to easily see the wave form and where its getting chopped.

rs-met "Signal Analyzer" is a good freebie (pity there's no Mac version)
