thank you! very handy

Hope this link helps as well:

Two good resources here:)
As Danimal mentions, tasteful variation is always more interesting to the ear.

It sounds like every table arp you've ever heard that uses this technique of slowing down the arps by doubling each TSP command with the default groove:
00
00
04
04
07
07
0B
0B
0C
0C

but only takes up half the table space:
00
04
07
0B
0C

sounds wicked, do you have an audio example to give an idea of what it sounds like ?

this is soso great, thank you ~

Useless if you're not attempting to accomplish what the C command can provide, at least. And it's fun for lots of things.

I Do arps out of order depending on the note i want emphasized and what-not. Really useful for tracking destiny's child type lead+harmony stuffs.. >.>

exactly that^

play with em innit

Also consider making your arpeggios go downward. Or perhaps out of order. Or with octave notes in between, at 16ths, 8ths, triplets, 32nd whatever. Maybe do a 5 note pattern over more than one octave.

Just don't go up the chord every time the same way. V

Oh yeah! I keep forgetting that the G command isn't global. Very powerful technique to explore!

No need for all that.  You can use a G command in a table to call a different groove to alter the speed the table runs at.  for instance, you could slap a G01 on the first line of a table, and then go to G01 and set it to 2/2 to accomplish the same thing (and SO MUCH MORE)

yeah, the speed of the C command is static (and therefore kinda useless imo) tables are where it's at.

thanks lazier gunz

I have not really explored this side of LSDJ, being focused on getting some decent bass lines and fat sounding kicks... but this does open new horizons

LSDJ is definitely a wide world to discover (with so little time to spend on it : / )

No problem, guys!

I was thinking, maybe I'm not giving the C command enough credit.

who needs tables anyway?

thanks a ton dude!

Here's an example of a Major 7th table.

(i put a hop in there because it sounded nice looped at that point in context, so this actually just loops 0 - 4 - 7 - B - C )

so this table plays Hex sequence 00 - 04 - 07 - 0B - 0C - 07 - 04 - 00 ( 0C being the root note + 1 octave), or notes 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 of the major scale (a Major 7th!)

put this on a C note and it plays C E G B [C] B G E....

tables are nice to make chords more interesting than just the C command, like you could also put
00
00
04
04
07
07
0B
0B
0C
0C

for a slower chord arp, or

00
04
00
07
00
0B
00
0C

for some nice texture.
