electron Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 i need a midi script for upper note priority and another one for lower voice priority - found one at gearspace for last note priority but need the other ones for use with stacking hardware synths together with the logic arpeggiator - when using the arpeggiator the hardware synths priority doesn't work like expected. if anyone has these scripts or likes to program them please let me know many thanks in advance!!!

Dewdman42 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 BluecatAudio doesn't make an arp, but you probably mean this one? https://graywolf2004.net/wp/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electron Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 yes, you are right, it's bluearp not bluecat - by the way, bluearp doesn't save its status in Mainstage/Logic, starts always with present 001 initial... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 That's rather surprising to hear, its been around a long time. Can you at least save a preset in BlueArp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electron Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 saving a preset is possible but it doesn't load it together with the concert in Mainstage - same with a logic song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Do you also have an instrument loaded on the track in question? I have noticed that sometimes the midi plugins don't work quite correctly until there is also an instrument loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electron Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 tryd it with sampler instrument in logic and an external midi instruments channel in Mainstage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electron Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 maybe it's because i am still on catalina and should try an older version of Bluearp.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 hmm. I just tried a quick test and it worked for me. Not sure why that wouldn't work for you. I'd try to ask the author of blueArp, he updates it a lot. But anyway, it works for me and its strange that it doesn't work for you so you might want to get to the bottom of that in any case. Other arps floating around that work in LogicPro/Mainstage as AUMFX include: Kirnu Cream (there is both a free and paid version as I recall) Cthulu (commercial) Stochas (now free) Riffer HY-Plugins Doing something like this in Scripter is certainly possible but it would be pretty involved and time consuming to work out the code. if you are good with Javascript, there are some arp example scripts from Apple I believe, you might be able to figure something out.

I personally think that is unlikely, but hey...ya never know. I am on Monterey and LogicPro 10.7.4, but this is very basic behavior of all plugins that I don't think should be affected so much by your OS version or even the version of LogicPro..its very basic behavior that really should just be working for you.

electron Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 I have another system at home, will try it later - many thanks for the other arpeggiator midifx! i would like to use the simple but effective logic build in arpeggiator, but than i need the upper/lower priority scripts and my head won't code any java... is not suited for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I don't quite follow the upper/lower functionality you are wishing for...so if you want to explain that a little more...there might be a way to use the built in arp and some kind of simple script to "tweak" the results slightly... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Other arp options also include, if you know of a VST arp that does what you wish (even though LogicPro can't host VST)...you can get the cheap (or free if you want to build it yourself) sub-hoster called Kushview Element. It comes also in AUMFX version. So basically you put that into your MainStage midifx slot and then inside it you can use any VST plugins also... There might be a few more VST arps out there to consider, but I'm not that familiar with what all is out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electron Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 that would be really cool!! i have three analog hardware synths that are controlled by a masterkeyboard in Mainstage. they have all separate external channelstrips inside of Mainstage and two of them have different logic arpeggiators midifx in their channels. the one without has a pad sound, the other ones with the arpeggiators are upper part and bass. the both arpeggiated synths are set in the hardware to upper and lower priority. When playing with the masterkeyboard the arpeggiator generates pattern out of all pressed keys, but it to use only the highest/lowest key and generate the pattern out of these notes - the result is really stunning for live performances... works with bluearp... only the save problem with the bluearp status is there for me at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electron Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 i will look at the save problem first and than check out all mac arpeggiators and than the vst workaround - many many thanks for the really great help here!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electron Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 installed the last 2.2 version of Bluearp (newest 2.3) and it saves the current status like every plugin is doing it.... so solved again and the scripters can produce some music now.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
