Ever wondered how to use Logic’s built in Arpeggiator? OR maybe you didn’t even know one existed.

Here I will show you how to setup and use Logic’s Arpeggiator.

Create Arpeggiator

1. Open the Environment window (Window > Environment)

2. Choose New > Arpeggiator drop the menu items

3. On the Arpeggiator that appears in the Environment window, Click and hold on the output channel (arrow/triangle shape) and drag it on to the instrument channel you want to Arpeggiate.

4. Next, Create a software instrument track (to control the Arp).

5. Reassign the newly created software instrument track to the Arpeggiator.

Modifying the Arpeggiator Settings in Logic

Open the Inspector (I) and use the drop down arrow to see the parameters for the Arpeggiator.

In here you can change the following parameters of the Arpeggiator:
• Direction
• Velocity
• Key Limit
• Resolution
• Length
• Snap to
• Repeat
• Octaves
• Crescendo
• Controller Base

Nb. If you want to bounce down the Arpeggiator sequence to audio, choose Bounce down Mode: Real time or it will not function correctly.
If you have spent just a few minutes setting this up you will be able to tell the enormous amount of creativity and inspiration this can bring to you as a producer.

So go experiment, have fun and remember…
