Effects on the cable.
Drop an effect onto any route and every note passing through is changed on its way: kept in key, turned into a chord, arpeggiated, or played with a softer touch.
Stay in key without thinking about it
Key Lock moves any note outside the key to one in it: the nearest, the one above, the one below, or it drops the note. Play anything and it fits.
Harmonizer adds a second note a third, fourth, fifth, sixth or octave away that stays in the key. Chord turns every key into a chord: major, minor, sevenths, sus, power and more. Transpose shifts by semitones, or by steps of the scale so the line stays in key.
They can all follow the patch key, so changing the key in the transport panel moves them together.
An arpeggiator for any synth
Hold a chord and the Arpeggiator plays its notes one at a time, in time with the transport, from 1/4 to 1/32 with triplets, over one to four octaves. Latch keeps it going after you let go.
A knob on your controller can ride Rate, Gate or Octaves through a control cable, so the pattern climbs another octave as the track builds.
Nine shapes, shared with the Chord Sequencer
Up, Down, Up-down, Down-up, Outside in (lowest, highest, then inwards), Alberti (low, top, middle, top), Skip (every other note, then the ones skipped), Random and As played. Each has its own pattern icon, so you can pick one at a glance.
The Chord Sequencer's arpeggio play modes use the same shapes (all but As played), so an Alberti on the Arpeggiator sounds like an Alberti from the Chord Sequencer.
Shape the touch and the feel
Velocity reshapes how hard notes arrive: a soft, linear or hard curve between a minimum and a maximum, or one fixed velocity for every note.
Humanizer loosens a sequencer the way a player would: each note a little late, a little louder or softer, held a little longer. Pick Subtle, Natural, Loose or Sloppy, or set each amount yourself. Rests leaves the last beats of every few bars silent, for breathing room in a loop.
Glide instead of jump
Velocity and Humanizer settings can slide to a new value over ¼ bar up to 8 bars instead of changing at once, so a build-up happens in the music, not with a click.
Stack them
Chain several effects on one cable, in the order you want.
Per route
Each cable has its own effects: one keyboard can play one synth dry and another arpeggiated.
