Snorkel Audio has introduced a MIDI arpeggiator for Windows, macOS and iPad (VST3, AU and AUv3). Little Arp Monster allows users to build patterns from arpeggiated notes, full chords, rests, and even notes outside the chord, and evolve them across a full arrangement.
Little Arp Monster is the arpeggiator for musicians who want to compose, not just repeat. It pairs with any synth you own: build a motif on the step grid, let scenes and the Arranger carry it through a track, and shape every accent with a modulation lane that locks to your notes. The same tool that lands a classic, tasteful arp finds ideas you would never stumble on yourself a few turns of the Spice dial later.
Little Arp Monster features
- Step grid: Sequence scale degrees, full chords, and rests across 16 steps; everything stays in key.
- 16 scenes: Each with its own settings and step grid, for gentle variations on one idea or completely different motifs.
- Arranger: Place markers along a timeline to swap scenes, shift degrees, change chord types, or transpose the key exactly when you choose.
- Modulation lane: Shape Velocity, Cutoff, Decay, or any CC, locked to the same steps as your notes and following you when you switch scenes.
- Randomize and Mutate: Reroll from scratch or nudge what you already have; both stay musical, with Spice setting how adventurous they get.
- Built-in audition synth: Sketch ideas and hear the arp without a connected instrument.
Little Arp Monster is available to purchase for €39 EUR. A free demo version can be downloaded to try the plugin.
