Focus on Your Sequencers

  • ArpBud designed for creating arpeggios and sequences as easy as possible.

  • It has two main sequencers, the interval sequencer and the pitch sequencer with unlimited number of steps for each.

  • You can add/remove/copy/paste steps, load other sequencers from your other projects and set step's value with either knobs or touch gestures on step buttons.

Focus on Your Sequencers
Interval Sequencer

Interval Sequencer

  • With interval sequencer, you can design your arpeggios by their halfsteps (intervals) and sequence them with by applying its container pitch sequencer's pitch value.

  • You can also send pitch bend, modulation and portamento MIDI control commands as well.

Pitch Sequencer

  • Every step of pitch sequencer has its own interval sequencer.

  • Their pitch value will be applied to interval values of its interval sequencer steps while sequencing.

  • For example, if you have a pitch sequencer step with pitch C4 and its interval sequencer has steps with 0, 1, 2, 3 interval values, it will be sequence C4, C#4, D4, D#4.

  • Pitch sequencer has two modes, edit and play. In edit mode, you can switch between the steps for editing that step's interval sequencer. In play mode, you can toggle on/off the steps.

  • You can also change the rate, arpeggio style and loop count.
