Who likes the arpeggiator in Toxic 2? I have an Idea!!

[Maxx Claster]

I still want this! maybe Toxic III will have a midi out??

else one for my suggestion list...

ah, yet another thread discussing the need for a good arpegiator. Some dev must be listening ?

There's definately a hole in the market for a next generation arp - I'd love to see on with a piano roll where instead of notes down the left, it just has numbers that relate the the chord being held - i.e., 0 would be the lowest note, 1 the second lowest etc.

I'm with Riley on the Toxic2 arp...it's one of the best "built ins" I have, and as he says, is the same as the one on Octopus.

I've got a number of ways of arp'ing (not including me 'arp, celtic not celestial, of courst), but I still wish there was a perfect and simple one, y' know?

The properties of which would be:

1. a GUI that lets you do the +3, -2, +12 idiot version of arpeggio/sequence design, with up to 128 steps.

2. a way of breaking out of 4/4 time, with some preset frames for different time sigs

3. A second GUI screen that has the 'piano roll' thing for those who happen to be thinking in terms of notes, at that moment.

4. A third GUI screen with drop-down menus that lets you (a) click a start point (C3, F#4, whatever) (b) set a range (1,2,3...octaves) (c) specify arp'ing a specific chord type rooted on that note and (d) also allows you to arp (say) the basic western modes, a few alternative scales.

5. As a bonus, chuck in 'randomization' of the result, a 'click to save' and a way of storing those outcomes for patching into longer sequences.

You can find elements of this stuff everywhere, and I'm sure there's some humungous, expensive NI solution...but I'm thinking FL/ACID simple, and $35-50. I'll wait patiently till then...call it ArpoMarx, and say Funxi sent ya...

Amen to the above! I love Toxic, and it's arp, but I would love more parameters and options on it.

Agree with the love here. Maxx's ARP's in Toxic II and Octopus are hands down the best built-in's I've come across.

What would be *really* powerful would be a universal import/export format (similar to .fxp/.fxb) that would allow sharing not only between plugs but also between host-based ARP's.

And speaking of host-based, Project 5 has an aweseome one also.

That's reassuring. I often think I'm missing the obvious when I start saying "why won't..?", "why doesn't...?" "hasn't anybody thought of....?" here.

Toxic -- and by logical extension, Octopus -- would be a great place to implement some fresh arp ideas. It's way more than halfway there...

For a couple of dollars more you can get Energy XT right now, use it as a vst and run any synth through the built in arp. Very powerful plus you get a ton of other features as well.

Yeah, like this dude says ^^^

If you use eXT's arp, turn off the step sequencer in toxic, use random mode in eXT's arp you could link the arp to a sequencer to record midi-outpout from the randomly generated notes in the arp. A bit complex, but do-able.

Maxx! Good to see you on the forum...pls take a look at my posting on the previous page. There are some ideas there you might want to consider for Toxic 3 (which is, BTW, a very fine synth!!!)

I need an ARP for the Mac.

Are you all fuckin mad? Toxic does NOT have an ARP..it has a sequencer, which means its just as easy to do it yourself in the piano roll

Except for playing real-time/live.

And a sequencer can be used just like an arp really
