Features

Made down to the dot.

Arpeggio is small and quiet, and full of things you feel before you notice them. Here they are, up close, moving to a steady beat. Press play and they move to a real song.

La Perla Sofia Kourtesis

Play steps into Pause in five pictures, and back. Every dot stays on its grid.

The cards

Every card is a small instrument.

Each effect is a card. Its key switches it on, its name opens it to its own settings, and everything on it answers your hand, and the music, in a small way of its own.

Listening

You can see what it hears.

Five pulses move everything: Low, Mid, High, Hit and Beat. The panel shows each as a ring of dots, and the whole sound as a matrix, lows on the left.

It listens to your Mac too: Spotify, Apple Music, anything it plays. How that works

Time

The song, in dots.

Where you are, how long it runs and where it gets loud, in the same dots as everything else. And knobs that click as they turn.

Scenes

Scenes wait for the beat.

Eight keys under the stage, each a look you saved. Pick one while the song plays and it comes in on the next beat, blending over a bar.

The stage

Any shape, any screen.

Wide, square or tall, here or full screen on a projector or a second display. Pinch the stage to frame the picture, and scroll to move it.

Stage

Export

Watch it being made.

Exporting, Arpeggio draws every frame, none dropped. The picture comes through out of dots while a little tape recorder runs in the corner, behind glass.

Coming in Arpeggio 1.3.
