on top, every of the 1024 patches using the arp at this certain location would change as well.

I was wondering how to use a step arp programmer with the C.
Is there a good vst pluggin wich can be used like an midi effect to program Arp paterns ?

What sequencer are you using? I would say the sequencers piano roll is a good place to program some arps. I do mine there all the time. Either in there or logic's hyper-edit.

I have used EnergyXT with arp and a midi out plug from tobybear.

results are only usabel at sub 10ms latency, due to the midi out plug suffering from buffering. Nuendo / Cubase both have "hardware out from vsti" issues..

I m using cubase Sx 2. but Piano roll dosn't sound like an programed arp sequence.
I'd like to have a Vanguard arp like pluggin. An arp with trance gate features.

You must not be programming them right. You can make the piano roll sound just like an arp. The virus b arp files are floating around on the net in .mid versions. I suggest looking for that and oopening them in cubase to see how it is done, since they will open in the piano roll.

Upgrade to SX3 if you can. they have the arpache arp (or see above). Then combine that with a noise gate sidechained to a drum track, and you have instant vanguard on any synth you want.
I dont know if it is the same in SX, but in logic I can save the setup of it all, and just insert it on to audio instrument tracks whenever needed.

Yeah you're right

Mmm, some new filters with new saturation stages would be nice. But knowing what Access are capable of, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they created something new for the C - just look at the B series.

hehehe. i love how hollowcell is trying to get absolutely anything extra out of access. keep pulling that chain hollowcell! they will cave in eventually! they must! at least give us virus b owners a bananna huh? for customer loyalty? REMEMBER WE STUCK BY YOU! YOU OWE US!!

Actually i don?t really care much for new arp. patterns since i can just as well program sequenses and loop them. I was just thinking that it wouldn?t be a big deal overwriting them.

To marc: I can see te point in that the factory presets that uses arp. won?t sound alike any more. I just didn?t get the point about sending one notelength of a time. I was thinking more like a stand-alone software arp-programmer that you could update an OS-file with and then do an ordinary OS-update with the modified OS-file.

As for the vocoder vs. hypersaw; i too would like to see this happen but i?m not sure i would do the update cause the virus vocoder might not be the best in the world but for the time being it?s the only vocoder option i have Actually i was a little disapointed with the vocoder when i got the virus cause i was seing forward to having a nice vocoder too. Well what the heck; the rest of the beast makes it up for it

I personally have never used the Vocoder, and never will I don't think so I welcome the Hypersaw to replace the Vocoder with open arms.
