BlueARP VST Arpeggiator development - let's discuss! (Apple M1 ready, 4K)

[rasmusklump]

Am I dumb or is there something wrong in version 2.8.1 (don't know if it's like that in earlier versions as well)
I it doesn't matter is if I press d or d# the output is always d.... (any octave)

Edit:
not everytime, but certainly with preset 48 (arp 3k piano yt perf2) and the following presets


Edit 2:
Yes, I am dumb. It's the force to scale setting on those presets....

Thank you for this complex and free arp!
I love it's stability and complexity.
My only complaint is about the GUI. It needs a nice fresh modern look with more colours, where some sections are divided, based on functions. Thank you for your hard work, and for making it free.

Hello,
I think i've found a bug on version 2.8.1, when you set the chain quantize to "None," the chain variations no longer work.
TIA

Just updated to 2.8.1 now that I had some time to remap the changed VST param numbers in my setup. The new features are great! Many thanks for adding the option for the old fixed key behaviour.

One update request if it's practical/straightforward is to add quantising for changing patterns or sync-time. If you don't change these exactly on the beat then it plays the first note glitched/out of time. Probably not an issue for those who just use the mouse/chaining but it makes the arp less playable when using a controller to change patterns or sync value.

Does anyone have an idea on how to make BlueArp work in Luna? I have made it work in various DAWs but can't seem to make it work in Luna.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for reporting. Yep, certainly a bug, just re-produced it, so it will be fixed in 2.8.2
Edit: just fixed it. If this is critical for you, let me know, I will post the current version. Otherwise, 2.8.2 will come in a couple of months, not changes pending, just bug fixes and maybe minor GUI things.
Edit2: also found another minor flaw with chain variations. For example you have Chain1/Var1 triggered by Gsus2 chord, when you hold Gsus2, switch to other chain and then back to Chain1, it doesn't trigger Var1. Fixed.

For me the best Controller to develope Strum Rhytmns is the old Guitar Hero Controller. Pure Midi. I know Oleg looks for a free guitar. But in this way i think there should be maybe a collaboration be done. The Musiclab guys are very friendly and have a great support for projects. For example, they did in a collaboration write the code for guitarix a open source linux guitar effects project and integrate it like blue arp is integrated now in Unify. at least they have done a keyswitch based strum libary of 1200 strum patterns they include in their libary.
I have done additional 1200 strum patterns and picking patterns special for eastern meditatarian sea culture so implemented arab, lebanon and other rhythmns. after my first tests the guitars are fully compatible and bst use with blue arp. Ok the guitars are not free but in a collaboration its possible to find a sollution i think... i can contact them in case of needs.
my hope is Oleg decide to do an intensive test. I do for the moment a libary for Unify effects with my husband in 3D Dolby Atmos Audio and we have done more than 900 presets now. if there is ageneral decition done... maybe not free than i can force to give input to the presets list.
here an example how versatile this is...

I checked the video, sounds good, but I don't understand how it works and what I can make of it. Is it some kind of library for Unify I can download and check?

The developers are Russian. I bought all their libraries. For the guitar hero controller you can as hidden feature activate in the Windows registry the Controller. They have a special struming mode that is very close to yours trigger methods. Much better than ample sound. Their pricepoint is not so much expensive. on Discount 69.- Euro for 13 different guitars. i can ask them if they sponsor you a guitar for developement. i use their presets for develope a Unify library. You need because Unify acts just as V-Host minimal one of their guitars. The guitar hero just acts for me to develope natural strumming what is in another way not possible. In fact you can ask them if they will support you by affilate or something else if you integrate special their rhythmns to Blue Arp. my developement is focused for the moment to implement in the old Unify Dolby Atmos and Effects.

Hi all! BlueARP is great!
BUT..
1. Probably in such a long thread (BlueARP is a great success!) i can't find all the feature request, but i would really like
to have a "Plain ARP" mode. If i play any chord of less or more of 5 notes getting an UP, DOWN, UP-DOWN, DOWN-UP, RANDOM modes would be great. I could play a 10 note chords and get 10 steps...or an 8 note chords and get 8 steps (like old school arpeggiators)

2. Get a slider to set the rate of BlueARP at a cartain ratio (rational and irrational) of DAW BPM

thanks and all the best

What's the trick on Mac OS-X to get these to show up? I'm using a 2021 M1 MBP and Reaper. I've got the VST3 showing using the "Security & Privacy -> General tab -> Allow" thing, but the VST2 version doesn't work at all using that method, and the AU version isn't appearing at all. I'm new to Mac but I'm pretty sure there's some other trick to get them to show up (some quarantine procedure perhaps). Would appreciate any help.

It is strange cause this time I signed the binaries with my apple dev ID (and I had to pay apple 100$ for annual subscription to do that). AU version won't show up in reaper, it will work in Logic Pro only (it is a special type of AU called MIDI-FX)
Can you check the previous notarized version - will it have the same security issues?

This worked

Hi, I’m using BlueArp 2.8.1 in Reaper. Unfortunately I cannot seem to be able to get the chain function to work correctly when in guitar mode. In Arpeggiator mode it appears to be ok.

I really like the app particularly the guitar mode. Feeding it into AmpleSound guitars is brilliant.

My bad.. Looks as if I needed to set the “restart on” option to “1st key” or “play”. Seems ok.

Thanks

Thanks a lot. For a great app.

Hi, it looks like the 'fixed_key_always_play=1' fix has been disabled/removed in 2.81 (that line is in the INI file but fixed key patterns only playing when receiving a midi note).

When you're not too busy is there any chance you can restore this and post an update?

I'm sure I tested this as working but it looks like I stupidly tested the version before it and then updated/reconfigured using this version before I noticed the problem (I've been away for the last couple of months so just noticed it now). Unfortunately I can't easily roll back as made a lot of changes and the project won't load with an earlier version. Once I get this working I'll stick on it for the foreseeable future! Very hopeful thanks in advance

Still down. Is it graywolf2004 that is the dev?

[phreaque]

Yes he is
