Subject: RE: [korgpolyex] best hardware arpeggiator

Good point, why would you even need an arpeggiator if you have a step sequencer?
(other than the fact you need to actually ENTER the notes into the sequencer)
Couldn't you run the output from the Poly 800 to the audio in on the R3 or microKorg and arppegiate that signal?

Just curious,

Gor

OK, this is great feedback.

I've been making good progress going back over my code and collapsing certain parts of it into reusable functions so that the memory use is actually dropping right now.

I also have been thinking about the ARP too. It is not on the top of my list that is for sure. I think a simple ARP is a good idea for those of us who don't use computers or a hardware sequencer. But how many of us are in that position?

Since I was able to get the sustain pedal working and actually change the EG1/2 sustain in real time according to the pedal, it is now quite possible to change any part of the EG parameters according to velocity.

I believe I can do the same for EG3.

So I can see that altering attack on EG1/2 or EG3 might be things we'd like to change according to velocity.

What other parameters might we want changed according to velocity?

i'd say the HAWK-800 is well on the way to "killer" without a sequencer or
arpeggiator. somewhat disregarding my own personal wish-list (LCD & sysex
for panel events), i think velocity sensitivity is the ∗only∗ thing the
kit is "missing".
