Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] Arpeggiator questions

From: Michael Hawkins <korgpolyex800@...>

I'll work with the Kawai given that the cyclone manual is 86 pages worth - yikes.

But longer term, the arp could be quite complex and programmable via sysex and something like jsynthlib could be used to build a nice GUI front end. It all comes down to time and brain cycles.

In the short term, we should be able to get at least some of the Kawai ARP behavior into the Poly.

============ ======

this covers pretty much everything that an arpeggiator could/should be -

that should give you some ideas and inspiration, but i'd be surprised if
you find a way to implement more than the basics, given the 800's limited
UI. it may also be useful to go over the manual for the oberheim cyclone,
but i've never played with one of those.
