Arpeggios are amazing! Combining them with quantizers are even moreso. This video looks at how powerful and flexible they are in modular as a different way to explore the happy accidents that we love using the Bard Quartet by Shakmat. The Bard has a sweet harmony knob allowing for scrubbing through presets of all the arp settings. It’s kind of like a filter knob for melodies in that you can reach for it often to give life to what’s happening in your patch or change a part. At the end of the day, modular is about exploring so most of this is just me exploring making melody and how I do it with what I have in the case. Hope you like it.
