MonoPoly Arpeggiator - can it sync to DAW?

[Kevin Nolan]

Does anyone know if the MonoPoly Arpeggiator can sync to a DAW tempo?


I suspect not - I can't get it to work - but wonder if anyone knows either way?


Thanks,
Kevin.

So funny you mentioned this right as I had this issue in my latest piece Kevin.

While playing it back I noticed that the arpeggiator didn't seem to be synching with the Cubase clock tempo. Then I tried re-setting it by clicking the key tab in the LFO2 and everything worked as I wanted it to again.

Without pressing that , the LFO is running freely and so even if the notes in your DAW are quantized to the beat, the arpeggiator only will trigger the note when it gets a certain point in its cycle.

Just tested MonoPoly 32-bit in Ableton Live 32-bit in Win 7 64-bit, and the arp slowed or accelerated according to Live's tempo, as expected.

pottering -

are you sure? I can't get that to work in Logic!

I'm talking about the MonoPoly Legacy - not a hardware MonoPoly

Yes it was the VST version I tested (don't own any hardware synth).

I just tested again, it loads with a arp patch by default (Luminescent), when I play a chord with 20 BPM it plays slow, when I change to 280+ BPM it gets faster.

I automated the tempo in a 16-bar loop, and it reacted correctly to the automation as well.

Tested other "Motion" and "Arp/Seq" presets and they all reacted to the tempo changes.

I just started up Logic, opened a software instrument track and loaded in MonoPoly from my Legacy Collection.
Played different Motion and Arp presets and all was fine when I changed the tempo.
After poking around the interface, I can't seem to figure out what would make yours not sync to tempo
