Ohhh! really nice stuff! Congratulations!! I can’t wait to see how do you use the Zynthian … 😌

I’m having a slight ‘cold-sweat’ sensation since a few hours…I can’t find any clear information about the possibility of the Zynthian to do arpeggio, apart from the Helm plugin.  
Is this something I should worry about? 🤔

It can do arpeggio, but you have to do more sweating:

> I’ve been having a go at getting QMidiArp going in my Zynth and today I found something that works rather well. Now, I’m afraid here things sketchy because I can’t remember how I installed them. I’m pretty sure I downloaded it from [Sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/) compile as per the README. The fiddly bit is you then need to copy the appropriate .o files from qmidiarp-0.6.5/src/.libs/ into the relevant lv2 dirs, and then copy the resulting qmidiarp\_{arp,lfo,seq}.lv2 folders to /zynthian/zynthain-my-plugins/lv2 and …

We still don’t have a particularly “zynthonic” way of arping yet.

Thanks Rip,

I start to realise that arpeggios aren’t exactly simple to integrate on open-source based machines.  
So in that case what exactly are the ‘arpeggio banks’? (saw that name flashing by in a video on YT) Chords roll modulation maybe?  
I also found the original thread you started, this kind of reassures me. The thing is I’m really new to the whole concept of open-source programming/hacking so unexpected items keep showing up in my head.  
Anyway thanks again, we might get back to this later on.  
Vincent

Some of the engines support an arp, but not all, and those that do have patches which arpeggiate Helms will be under an Appeggio bank .

So this means that there are arp pads available?  
Well, this is all very fascinating I must say, I feel like I might be on the brink of learning a new language.
