The Arpeggiator MIDI FX plugin

While an arpeggiator can be used with any Software Instrument, traditionally we think of them as being associated with hardware synthesizers, as almost all of them have one built-in. Well, Logic has a MIDI plugin for this purpose, and it is nifty!

  1. Create a new empty Software Instrument and with Open Library checked, and go to Synthesizers | Classics | Dream Dancer.
  2. This loads a patch in Logic Pro's most sophisticated synthesizer, the ES2, with some plugins, and it sounds really good.
  3. On its channel strip fader in the Inspector, you will find MIDI FX. Hold the mouse down and go to Logic | Arpeggiator, and it opens:

Figure 5.8 – The Arpeggiator
