Synths with best sequencers, arpeggiators, and msegs? – Page 3 – Instruments Forum

‘my biggest complaint with most of them is that they are so step-based, as if for EDM, that they don’t allow enough flexibility in terms of long notes vs short ones in a sequence.’

Phrasebox, on that subject, has the ability to mix and match, polyphonically, different note lengths. You can have a chord, for instance, with different lengths for each note. It provides much more than 32 steps, has great controllable random strike/velocity/pitch (within a predefined scale if you want)/octave, etc. – as much or as little of that as you like, and also has multiple ‘snapshots’ that can be switched between. You can also define a fixed note that may not be in the chord you are sending and force-fit that into your arp to really keep a grip on that root note. It also will send cc’s. I’m a fan (but I mess around behind its back with many other devices, pretty much every one that has been mentioned so far).
