SynprezFM v2.3.6 Tutorials: How to use the arpeggiators
/!\ don’t forget to activate the subtitles with the CC button on YouTube.
This video demonstrate how to use the arpeggiators:
- mode loop or keys
- recording loops with keys of different duration
- different mode for playing (number of octaves, reading mode etc.)
- transposition while running (loop mode only)
- several base keys (loop mode only)
- sync with the second synth arpeggiator
This video is part of SynprezFM v2.3.6 tutorials, accessible from the “help” menu in the app.

0 -> This video explains the arpeggiators (arps) in SynprezFM.
3.811 -> There are 2 modes, key and loop. We start by creating a loop.
8.649 -> Each key you add can have a different duration,
12.974 -> quarter, 8th, triplet etc.
17.886 -> We can also add rests.
25.729 -> Now we save this loop: it is definitely lame, but this is for the sake of the demo.
32.547 -> Starting the loop!
37.751 -> Spreading on a second octave.
43.176 -> Changing speed.
48.82 -> Shuffling notes in the loop.
57.47 -> Looping backward.
62.381 -> Note that any change in parameters
68.099 -> is taken into account on the next iteration.
74.696 -> Looping on 2 base keys.
80.634 -> Transposing base keys.
89.211 -> 3 base keys.
95.955 -> 4 base keys.
101.672 -> Stopping the arp.
106.364 -> Let's now try with a second synth.
112.082 -> We are using the key mode,
115.893 -> so we set the hold mode to enter keys.
121.098 -> Starting the arp.
124.836 -> We can freely adjust the speed.
130.408 -> We may need to sync the two arps,
135.759 -> so we select the "Slave K" mode.
139.864 -> Note that the speed is now titled "ratio",
145.582 -> and that we control the speed and the start/stop from the upper arp.
152.545 -> We can also change the ratio, dividing or multiplying the upper arp speed.
160.756 -> Note that when the upper arp terminates its loop,
166.913 -> the lower one being synced also resumes its loop.
175.49 -> Stopping arp.
182.234 -> A last feature related to arp sync is worth mentioning,
188.684 -> Let's create a loop on the upper arp.
195.355 -> The arps are still synced.
202.832 -> But we can dephase them, so keys of the 2 sequences are interleaved.
221.671 -> We now stop the lower arp, and create a key sequence,
227.682 -> that is no longer slave of the upper synth.
233.547 -> While the upper arp is still running,
244.762 -> we verify that both loops are now independent.
254.365 -> Up to you now ;)
