Patch: Bar arpeggiator

torsig1967

Here's a patch called "barpeggiator 6tone". It's an arpeggiator that syncs to midicklock, can hold up to 6 notes and will resync at every bar border.

This is the first time I've managed to make a sensible arpeggiator on the NM1. I found it hard to make the basic components for this unit and I'd like to share my findings so I enclose two pictures explaining and describing how this unit is made.

Closer description:
- The arpeggiator will always play the current state until a bar border.
- It will play the notes that where pressed before the latest bar border.
- It will play 1-6 notes, repeatedly in the order they were pressed.
- Even if nothing is changed, the arpeggiator will always start from the first note at bar borders, making the time signature more obvious even for odd key numbers.
- As long as one key is held down one can add new notes.
- When all keys are released, the memory will be cleared next time a key is pressed. Starting all over.
- If more than 6 keys are pressed the result is undefined - although quite nice.
- Seems like this arpeggiator cannot handle interactive tempo changes.

Hope someone can enjoy this.
