"NEW ARPEGGIATOR STYLES IN PYRAMID OS 3.0 BETA
// Squarp have released the public beta for their brilliant pyramid sequencer and a lot is new.
Here are very simple examples of all of the arpeggiator styles now included in the MIDI Arpeggiator Effect:

1. UP
The arp plays the notes performed from low to high.

2. DOWN
The notes are played from high to low

3. UP/DOWN
The notes are played from low to high, and then from high to low.

4. RANDOM
The notes are alternated between randomly.

5. ASSIGN
The notes are played back in the order they were originally played. Thus, a late note will be played last.

6. DOUBLE
Each note is played twice.

7. OCT UP
Each note is played twice - the second is pitched one octave up from the original

8. OCT DOWN
Each note is played twice - the second is played one octave down from the original.

9. DRUNK
Plays the first three notes, and then three notes based from the second note, then three notes based on the third note in a circular fashion.

10. FIFTHS
Each note is automatically followed by its fifth note harmony.

11. ONE TWO
One note out of every two is played twice.

12. SILENCE
One note out of every two is silenced.

13. RUNNER
The pattern is played up (low to high) and down (high to low) in an alternating manner.

14. DISCO
The first note will be played between every other note.

15. MARBLE
Emulates a bouncing ball rhythm. Velocity decreases over time. My use of the 303 is not the ideal synth voice for this demonstration. Much like midi delay, a monosynth is less likely to produce super interesting results.

16. RHYTHM 1/2/3
The last three styles are custom rhythms, with fixed lengths. They contain silences and velocity variations (respectively.)

So far, despite its beta status, pyramid os 3 seems like a brilliant step forward, including so many of the user's requests and ideas. Such a fantastic device, and a wonderful company.

Right On!"
