Kebarp is your go-to arpeggiator for quick and easy pattern creation. Its customizable and responsive grid allows you to craft arpeggio patterns effortlessly. Simply connect a MIDI keyboard or sequencer to Kebarp as a source, and route its MIDI output to an audio app. It will arpeggiate the note you are playing according to the pattern you've drawn on the grid. You can fine-tune the arpeggiator's settings, including minimum and maximum octave reach, step count, gate, velocity, and swing, directly from the control grid. Easily select a scale from the control strip and start creating arp patterns by dragging your finger around the grid. To remove a note, simply tap on it. All notes are locked within the chosen scale, with numbers on the grid representing notes relative to the root note. For instance, 1 represents the original note, +2 is the note after, -2 is the note before, and so on. The retrigger option in the settings menu resets the sequencer with each new note played. Activate pattern chaining to automatically advance to the next pattern once the current one finishes playing. Includes Kebarp and Keboard AUv3 MIDI plugins. The standalone version of Kebarp supports Ableton Link. Please note that Kebarp is a MIDI app. The standalone version has an optional internal synth where you can enable or disable on the settings menu. The AUv3 plugin requires an audio app for output. For the AUv3 functionality, it needs to be hosted within an app such as AUM, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, Logic Pro, Nanostudio, Drambo, or apeMatrix.
