RandARP v1.36

RandARP is a VST plugin arpeggiator with many randomization features, allowing incoming notes or chords to be manipulated in various rhythmic ways. All standard arpeggiator parameters like number of octaves, note length and note order are included, but the plugin also offers complete randomization of the velocity, gate, shift and swing parameters. In addition, you can specify a note probability and randomize the note order, the octave order, and the number of octaves. All the randomization features allows you to create more interesting and unpredictable arpeggiated sequences.

v1.21

  • Fixed: Poly Aftertouch and Program Change midi messages not passed through plugin.

v1.20

  • Length parameter renamed to Rate.
  • Added a free rate mode, not synced to the host's tempo/grid. Use the new Speed parameter to scale the step length from 0.25x and up 4x of the arpeggiator rate. For example, if Rate is 1/8 and Speed is 0.50, the length of each step is now a quarter note. If Rate is 1/8 and Speed is 2, the length of each step a sixteenth note. But you can of course use Speed to set up a step length to be in-between standard rates, for example 1.10 which will give you a step rate that is 10% faster than the selected rate.
  • Added 3 new random options: Note Order/Random Once, Note Order/Random Oct Once and Octave Order/Random Once. This will create a random pattern, but repeat this pattern until the input notes changes.
