reChord is a MIDI effect that can arpeggiate the input MIDI notes and chords.

STYLE SECTION

  1. Hold – Holds incoming notes indefinitely.
  2. Style Combo Box – Selects the style of the arpeggiated sequence.
  3. Key Combo Box – Transposes the notes down to the closest note of the scale you selected if the incoming notes are not in the chosen scale.

Chord Trigger

Play Order – Sets the order of notes in the arpeggio based on the order in which they are received on the input.
Random – Sets a continuously random pattern for the arpeggiator.
Random Unique – Sets a random pattern for the arpeggiator and will not repeat any note until all the input notes have been played.
Random Once – Sets a random pattern for the arpeggiator once and repeats that pattern until the input MIDI changes.

 

RATE SECTION

  1. Rate – The speed of the arpeggiator’s playback in ms or musical time values.  
  2. Sync Button – When enabled, the setting for Rate Sync will be quantized to the note value that is selected, according to the BPM of the project.
  3. Gate – Controls the length of the notes, which is expressed as a percentage of the current Rate setting.
  4. Repetitions – Controls how many arpeggiators cycles get transposed according to the Distance parameter’s amount.
  5. Shift – Sets the number of steps by which the arpeggiator sequence is shifted.
  6. Swing – Sets the percentage of swing to the arpeggiator sequence.
  7. Distance – Sets how many semi-tones to transpose the notes by on every repetition set by the Repetitions parameter.

 

RETRIGGER SECTION

 

  1. Off Button – When selected, the arpeggiated sequence will not retrigger.
  2. Beat Button – When selected, the arpeggiated sequence will retrigger in time intervals set by the Beat Rate parameter.
  3. Note Button – When selected, the arpeggiated sequence will retrigger on every new note received.
  4. Beat Rate – Determines the interval in which the arpeggiated sequence retriggers. This parameter is enabled only when the Beat Button is selected.
  5. Repeats – Determines how often the arpeggiator sequence will repeat before it stops entirely.

 

VELOCITY SECTION

  1. Velocity Button – Enable/Disable the Velocity feature. A linear progression is created in the velocity of the output notes.
  2. Retrigger Button – This applies the instantaneous Retrigger settings to the Velocity feature.
  3. Decay – Sets the time in milliseconds it takes to reach the velocity set by the Target parameter from the velocity set by the input MIDI notes.
  4. Target – The target velocity that will be reached in the set time.


Velocity Feature Example – The Velocity feature is triggered, and the Retriggering is set to “Note.”
