## What is ChaosArp?

Introducing ChaosArp, the next-level MIDI arpeggiator/step sequencer designed to transform your musical ideas into intricate, dynamic patterns with a unique twist. ChaosArp is not just any arpeggiator; it's a powerhouse tool that uses the same advanced algorithms as LoAdKer to modulate pitch, rhythm, velocity, and duration, creating evolving, complex but high musical patterns that breathe life into your music.

Dive into the heart of your creativity with ChaosArp's innovative ‘rhythm event’ feature, which allows you to explore a variety of rhythmic modifications. From repeaters to stretchers and rests for extra space and emphasis—ChaosArp has it all. Each one of these rhythm events can be assigned to any of the 6 available slots, offering limitless possibilities.

Fine-tune your sonic exploration with the innovative ‘variance’ control - which goes one step beyond the simple ‘probability’ control that most arpeggiators have. Adjusting this setting for either pitch or rhythm (or both) will vary the character of the generated sequences, from fairly minimalistic to completely chaotic, thus opening up a world of endless variations. 

Elevate your music production today with ChaosArp and unleash patterns that inspire!

### 5/5 — Very peculiar

*2025-01-14, version 1.3.1*

A nice take on the arpeggiator concept. Try this at very low BPM.

### 5/5 — Better than your current arp

*2024-11-28*

So get it!

### 1/5 — No midi out

*2024-07-13, version 1.0.3*

It doesn't work, lights flah but no midi signal to an hardware synth. Meanwhile others two apps works fine. No setting, just channel.
Any solution?

### 4/5 — AUM?

*2024-07-13*

I see AUM in your little video blurb but cannot find it in AUM?

**Developer response:** Hi, you can find ChaosArp in AUM by first adding a MIDI track to your project and then opening the 'Audio Unit MIDI Processor' menu. ChaosArp should be visible on the list. If not, please contact us. 

WIth Best Wishes,

### 5/5 — Super dope midi tricks

*2024-06-24*

I love the idea of generative midi. This is quite nice, even on outboard gear! I think I ran this and Binarhythmic midi out to cat and edge. Amazing results, and not just random sounding. Sounds more intentional and focused once ya get the hang of it. cheers!
