MIDI Pattern Sequencer is a tool with powerful and at the same time very comfortable, intuitive and easy interface. It is the main feature, through which the sequencer can easily used by anyone, from beginner to professional, and everyone will find it most necessary for their own purposes.

The sequencer does not produce the sound. It is designed to control via MIDI any external sound modules, samplers, synthesizers and other applications running on iPad or another computer. Full support for external MIDI interfaces, network and virtual ports, synchronization with external devices and transport control makes this sequencer like playback control center for music devices or other applications.

The best things:

● Indispensable tool in creation of final composition or experiments with rhythm and phrase patterns.

● User interface is designed so that all features of the current mode are available immediately or through one or two steps.

● Can be operated with one hand, even with one finger, in any place of your workspace to which you can reach.

● Does not have complicated gestures, very small elements which are inconvenient for clicks, clumsy scrolling and distracting realistic interface elements. Just only single click and move fader.

Main features:

● Classical data structure: Project – Song – Pattern.

● Four main control modes – Transport, Keyboard, Edit pattern, Edit cell.

● No need to save data. All changes will be saved automatically.

● Pattern tracks can be configured for notes or drum events.

● Real-time recording and editing patterns.

● Recording and editing events through internal keyboard or external devices.

● Playback one or more patterns at once. Start and stop patterns during playback.

● Changes pattern events (Transposition, Velocity, Duration) during playback.

● Editing individual events or changes all events in track.

● Length of pattern is defined by last note or can be set to fixed value.

● Correct simultaneous playback patterns with different length.

● Each pattern and song track have individual mute/solo function.

● Song can contain patterns from current project and patterns from any other projects.

● Extended set of editing functions for patterns and songs – insert, delete, move and scroll a single event or entire track.

● Ability to set track titles, pattern titles (pattern button titles) and drum pad titles.

● Set of different color schemes of interface.

For a detailed side-by-side comparison, please see www.alexandernaut.com/arpeggionome-vs-arpeggionome-pro.

A ROCK-SOLID MIDI IMPLEMENTATION
The Arpeggionome Pro’s MIDI implementation is finely tuned to control external MIDI devices, digital audio workstations (such as Ableton Live, Logic, and Pro Tools), and other iOS MIDI Applications (such as GarageBand, Animoog, and DM1).

Compatible MIDI Connections:
• Virtual MIDI ports of other iOS MIDI applications
• ‘Core MIDI’ compatible hardware interfaces
• MIDI over WiFi
• MIDI over Bluetooth

MIDI Output Features Include:
• Send MIDI on any of 16 channels
• Select between four Note Gate Modes (Manual, Mono, Legato, and Legato+)
• Control Note Velocity with Knob or Accelerometer
• Control Note Gate with Knob or Accelerometer
• Transmit MIDI CC Messages with Accelerometer
• Transmit Pitchbend Messages with Accelerometer
• Transmit MIDI CC and Pitchbend on any channel
• Adjustable data-range of Accelerometer-controlled messages

MIDI Input Features Include:
• MIDI Time Clock synchronization.
• Externally set the Arpeggionome Pro’s pattern with a MIDI keyboard.
• Externally set the Arpeggionome Pro’s pattern with Program Change messages.
• Quantize the Arpeggionome Pro’s first note to external MIDI Source.

DESIGN AN ARPEGGIO FROM SCRATCH…
The Performance Matrix is the Arpeggionome Pro’s main interface component.
• Touch any Control Point in the Performance Matrix to trigger the notes in the pattern.
• Move your finger left and right to set the reference-note of the pattern.
• Move your finger up and down to set the pattern’s rate
• Control up to 240 notes per second, nearly 15,000 notes per minute.

Six button-matrices and eight touch-knobs are used to design the Arpeggionome Pro’s pattern.
• Key – sets the musical key
• Scale – sets the musical scale
• Notes – sets the number of unique notes
• Step Distance – sets the distance between each note
• Notes Style – sets how the pattern moves between notes
• Alignment – sets how the pattern is justified from the reference-note
• Octave Range – sets the starting and ending octaves of the pattern
• Octave Style – sets how the pattern moves between octaves
• Rates – set the pattern’s rate to 50% or  25%.
• Octave Offset – shift the pattern’s starting octave
• Note Offset – shifts the pattern’s starting note
• Velocity – sets MIDI Note Velocity for each note triggered
• Gate – changes the length of each note triggered
• Tempo – sets the global tempo

The button-matrices and touch-knobs are also designed for performance.
• Button-matrices set on touch-down events
• Group 1 Touch-Knobs (Key, Scale, Rates, Octave, and Note) set on touch-up events
• Group 2 Touch-Knobs (Velocity, Gate, and Tempo) continuously set

… OR USE A PRESET
The Arpeggionome Pro includes a Pattern Library with a wide selection of presets.  You can also save your own patterns to the Pattern Library.  Additionally, eight pattern-buttons and two arrow-buttons provide quick access to the Pattern Library, enabling you to change and save patterns while performing.
