LOGIC PRO X - Building Arpeggiator Sequences

Think of an Arpeggiator and you'd be forgiven for thinking of huge EDM-style synth drops which build in anticipation or provide a memorable hook. But Logic Pro X's Arpeggiator is capable of so much more. In this episode, Jono explores Grid Mode, to show you how you can move from 'classic Arpeggiation' to a more sequenced approach to programming. He'll show you the main Arpeggiator parameters and then demonstrate how you can introduce Velocity variation and use Chord Mode to trigger several notes within an Arpeggiator pattern at once. Lastly, he'll show you how this can even work when programming Beat patterns, particularly ones with Randomization at their heart. 00:00 Intro 00:33 Exploring classic Arpeggiator parameters 02:35 Looking beyond EDM 03:06 Switching to Grid mode 04:22 Chord Mode to build a sequence 05:42 Playback with Variation and Octave Range sliders 05:57 Switching to Sculpture 06:37 Recording Sculpture sequence and Quantize 07:34 Sequence playback (with track) 08:11 Creating random beat sequences 09:43 Jamming with drums and the Arpeggiator 10:16 Encouraging creativity through randomization 10:52 Summary
