I remember when a DJ friend bought a microkorg when they first came out. He would arpeggiate everything and look at me like "yeah? Yeah? Im so good at keyboard." When I told him it takes zero talent to do that, he went into such a pissy fit....lol...Djs...hah.

I'd like to see what other people get up to with it though, I'm thinking using it for a looped part or as just one texture in a recording is probably the thing I would do, rather than use it by itself all the time. :idk:

finding a use for it is the fun part. I have no idea what I'd use this for but will probably try one out anyway.
I reckon it would be killer running into a bitcrusher for 8-bit toanz. I hope the rate control goes REALLY fast, so that you can barely make out the individual notes, if not that might be a deal breaker for me.

That's what I mean - you don't have to be yngwie to play an arpeggio, and arpeggios don't have to be fast. It's an honest question, I don't see the use in limiting arpeggios to max 2 octaves, and a certain key signature. I'm sure the pedal is rad and all but I don't get it.

Going super ridiculously fast would definitely sound interesting

If it indeed only has certain key signature (scale) modes and it only has a two octave range than it's not that great in my honest opinion, why not get a Pitch Grinder or a Whammy 5 with a Molten Voltage MIDI 5 connected to it instead?

I could see myself using it for short bursts of super fast arpeggios (a momentary switch would be nice :idea: ) or for looping. I can't wait to pair this with my incoming subterranea :love:

Sure thing, what I meant was I don't understand it for myself honestly. ;)
Also no tap tempo is quite a miss in my opinion, I think it's probably not going to be easy to use this thing in a band context.
I don't mean to crash it even before it gets released or anything and I guess there'll be people who will make good use of it, it's just some personal considerations I thought I'd throw in the jar. :)

this looks awesome,

The coolest arpeggator I ever had (pre-pitch factor) was on the boss ME-33

cool demo, thanks for sharing!

I can't say I'm sold on the Arpanoid yet, would still like to see a guitar demo. The Depths sounded incredible though.

Do the pedals come with the Human Expression pedal to change the knob settings while I perform live? How much does he cost and do I have to feed him?
