transpose arpeggiator

[siseturist]

Is there a possibility to transpose arpeggiated melodies? Hoped to see that option, but it seems as if it's not possible.
Perhaps it could be implemented in next firmware update?

Hi siseturist,
You're right there's no way to transpose an arpeggio.
I'll list your request here.
Best

Hi can you clarify what doesn't work?

If I start an arpeggio by playing three notes then surely it will transpose if I select three different notes?

[ben arturia]

I guess he means that the same arp transposed only with one root note.

[siseturist]

Exactly!

Yes please, BEN ARTURIA, love a way to transpose the arpeggiator!

btw gonna chime in on this one because
I find it really odd that you also cannot key transpose this thing
to play lets see in other keys. Not sequence, no arpeggio just plain and simple key transpose.

Not sure If I am missing something but didn't see that anywhere

I am not sure about key transposing a black and white keyboard...

But I would love to have an arp transposing function too - even more than the chord arpeggios (I understood them in the other way round the first time ).

    some artists built careers on that feature

one that I'll wait to see in place before I buy as it's definitely one I'll use often

+1 for the arp transpose

I cannot believe that i just read that... what kind of arpeggios with the arpeggiator you cannot transpose just moving your hands and fingers? I get that the arpeggiator makes very easy to play fast arpeggios, so you go from a very dynamic hand to a quite static one... how does it help to transpose a chord with this 'function'? at this point i want to play arpeggios without touching the keyboard, just with the power of mind... please Arturia can you implement this? I wanna think do major and hear a do major arpeggio in three octaves

I think rather than transposing; oct+/- buttons should work while playing (or on hold) an arpeggio.
Playing arpeggio while changing the oct+/- buttons rapidly has a very nice sounding effect.

[AndrewBloom]

Antmen could be true, i turn the octave knob on the volca bass in that kind of way, but on the other end that kind of behaviour would be really frustrating if you want to do the opposite, keep the note until you're ready to play one much lower or much higher. I think yours could be a nice effect, instead the actual one is the expected behaviour in most of the cases.

I don't think I have any arpeggiator that does transpose; I've always had to manually transpose chords, but I've actually been getting lost for a second when swapping modes from sequence to arpeggio when using the Keystep.  I've been so locked in single-finger transposing that I'd arpeggiate chord then try to transpose it with one finger and ruin my note run

It would be nice to have that auto accompaniment type feature with the arp, though I'd rather a range function, something every other arpeggiator I own has but the Keystep does not.  I know I can just hold a key from the chord, transpose the keybed, then carefully play the chord again, but this is tedious.
Also, my Mircowave XT's arp will play every keyed-on note I play, meaning I can play an interval then while holding one of the notes down, play the other repeatedly to add those instances to the notes played by the arpeggiator, allowing for a simple melody or bassline to be programmed.  The Keystep arp will only play a note once in it's cycle so it doesn't matter how many time I hit, say, an A#2 in my 'chord', it'll only be played once each run.  Again, it's something I can achieve easily enough by going to sequence mode (and use a sequence slot to record the melody/bassline).
