I plan to actually use this arp technique on my recent Ethereal Techno track I’m work on could definitely use some variation on my arp will try this out. More of this style of tutorials in future.
Thanks so much! It must have been Ableton Live’s Drift, from what I remember. It’s an awesome synth, I’m thinking about doing a video about it as well. It’s become one of my favorites lately.
The arp is based on one chord. Is this the prefered way to use an arp or is it also usual to make an arp shape and transpose it to other chords like playing I-IV-V, I don't know the english word in german it is called Kadenzen.
Great question! Yes it gets even more fun if you use chord progressions! If you use only one chord the result often feels more hypnotic and underground, with progressions it’s more “musical” but can also sound more mainstream.
