jaPeggiator
🕑 Added 2024-11-01 16:07:57 +0000 UTCthe ability to jaPeggiate in real life
An audio effect rack that lets you arpeggiate audio in real-time
LIVE 12.1 ONLY (must have the Auto Shift device)
jaPeggiator Manual
-
mid/high toggle
- If you have mid-range audio input, toggle mid, and if you have high-range audio input, toggle high
- If the audio sounds warbly and distorted, it means you have to toggle the mid/high parameter
-
freeze
- The freeze parameter works nicely when mapped to a button on your keyboard (I like to use my "f" key) or any MIDI controller
- This way, you can freeze the audio output with the push of a button
-
steps (0 Q ONLY)
- Unfortunately, the steps of the jaPeggiator only works in time when the Q time is set to zero
- You can still use the steps with different Q/free times but the steps will just be out of time
-
chords (macro variations)
- int 1, 2, and 3 correspond to intervals laid out after each other
- Since there are three intervals, there are four notes in the sequence
- When you open up the macro variations, you'll see a selection of tetrachords (4-note chords) that I've mapped out for you
- However these chords don't belong to a specific key, they instead revolve around whatever input you put in
- rp = Root Position, 1i = First Inversion, 2i = Second Inversion, 3i = Third Inversion
- EXAMPLE
- The M7 rp (Major 7 Root Position) has intervals 4st, 3st, 4st (st = semitone)
- If the audio input is a C3, the jaPeggiator will output C3 E3 G3 B3, a C Major 7 chord
- The M7 rp chord treats the audio input (C3) as the root or first note of the chord
- But the M7 1i treats the audio input (C3) as the third or second note of the chord
- So the M7 1i has intervals 3st, 4st, 1st
- With an audio input of C3, the jaPeggiator will output C3 Eb3 G3 Ab3, an Ab Major 7 chord in its first inversion
- If you sing one note and change the chords (switch macro variations) there will always be at least one note in common: the note that you're singing
- This makes for interesting voice-leading and it also allows us to think of chords and harmony differently than we're used to
