Hey!
I just got Korg Monologue even it doesn't have its own arpeggio. However, I'd love to use arpeggio style with this great synth.
Does anyone know a clever solution for this?

Thinking of getting ARPIE from Tindie.com
Trying to come across for DAW implementation solution.
Getting Arturia Keystep is least friendly solution for me.

I am also getting Korg NTS-1 next week for effects and one extra oscillator. Does anybody know if I can use its arpeggio with Monologue?

Thanks for respond!

Resurrecting an old topic...

I like the suggestions you gave. However, it still does not eliminate the need for an actual arpeggiator. IMHO it's much more important for an arpeggiator to be fast than to have a rich feature set, because that is what differentiates it from a sequencer (real-time recording mode notwithstanding). That was the issue I had with the KeyStep's original arpeggiator when I wanted multi-octave arps. I should be able to turn on the arpeggiator, input a chord, and immediately get a multi-octave arpeggio. Instead, I had to input a chord, keep at least one key pressed while the incomplete arpeggio is already playing, shift octaves, input the chord again, etc. I might as well use the sequencer.

Also, just as with Monologue's LFO, there is no random. I wish Korg would add different sequencer play directions (backward, pendulum, random, accessible via Shift-Play, going into effect once Shift is released), if not a full-blown arpeggiator (or both!), but it would be foolish to hope for new features at this point. Heck, I was amazed when they added Active Step, and that was over 2.5 years ago.
