NewBie Question: Arp Up for 3 Octaves then Down for 3 Octaves?

[deanc2000]

Okay, here's a simple thing I want to do, and surprisingly it doesn't look like Cream can do this. Or am I wrong? I just want to play a 3 note chord, go 3 Octaves up, then 3 octaves down. How can I do this with Cream? I DO NOT want to go 1 octave up and down, then 2nd octave up and down, then 3rd octave up and down.

All I want is 3 straight octaves up, and 3 straight down. Do I need to grab another arp plugin just to do this?

Dean.

I've read over the manual and still befuddled. Someone please help.

Yes you can do that, use the pattern sequencer.

Just an example:

Pattern 1 (12 steps):

Transpose -12,-12,-12,0,0,0,12,12,12,24,24,24
Play order: Lo-Hi

Pattern 2 (12 steps):
Transpose 24,24,24,12,12,12,0,0,0,-12,-12,-12
Play order: Hi-Lo

Set sequence length to 2.

Hi Dean,

here's an explanation! I've sent you the preset and the midi file via pn.
