OMG Instruments – BlueARP for WiN/MAC

BlueARP is a programmable pattern arpeggiator / step sequencer, it comes as a plugin for both Windows and Mac OS X. It is a pure MIDI plugin, so you need to connect it to a software or hardware synthesizer in any DAW with VST support, such as FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper, etc.), There is also a MIDI FX version for use in Logic Pro X / MainStage on Mac.

Basically, you need to program some pattern in BlueARP (it’s pretty fast thanks to the matrix editor), then play some chords, and BlueARP will generate melodic phrases from these chords according to the programmed pattern. BlueARP was designed for electronic music genres (like trance, house, etc.), but it also has unexpected features, such as drum triggering (with swing function).
