Arpeggio presets - where can I edit them?

[Rikis]

Hello,

I would like to add some presets to the arpeggio list which is shown in the image below.

I'm quite new to the wonderful lmms world, and even if I tried to search google and this forum (which I can't scroll for answers: I typed "arpeggio" in the search and can't get over first page... (using Firefox on Linux)) the only thing I could find was a utube tutorial on how to combine arpeggio to piano roll, which is not what I was aiming for.

Can anyone give me some information?

Best regards to everybody!

Welcome to the forum Rikis! First, For you all important links:

You cant add to the list, without changing the sourse-code of lmms. I suspect that it could be my video

:p
What exactly is it you want to achieve? Could be there is an other way.

thank you very much for your reply!

As said I am new to lmms, still exploring its features.
I would like to achieve sort of an "arpeggio pattern library" that I could easily use with all instruments, notes etc.

-the post with links is precious, didn't see it at first!
And, regarding your video, yes, that's the one ("create chord arpeggios with lmms") I saw while searching for information! It was clear and easy to follow but I didn't understand if or how I can use the created pattern while playing. Is it correct to assume that once prepared such an arpeggio can be used "live" only in that sequence?

Thanks again for your transmitted passion and time!

Yes, and ..well no, sort off :p
You cant use the notes in other projects just as a reference, but! You can copy these notes from one project to another!
This is how:
Method 1
If you have decent hardware, with 'lots' (2+ gb) of ram, you can have two LMMS running simultaneous side by side.
Point to the track with the existing arpeggio.
On the track-button we have a 'nobbled' bar leftmost in this picture:

* Hold Ctrl
* point on the nobbled-bar
* press and drag the whole track-button from the 'donor' project to the receiving-projects song-editor.
You now have copied all notes and the preset into the new project! -In your case you would have both the arpeggio-notes, and all the arpeggio-settings in the preset copied to the new project.
If you create a project called something like .my-aprs.mmp, and build all the arps, you can think of, with the video method, then you can use that project as a template for any project, and that way you have your arpeggio-library.

Method 2
This is not at all as potent, but can be used by anyone, despite lowend hw.
* Open the piano-roll pattern in project 1
* mark all (Ctrl+a)
* Copy all (Ctrl+c)
* Create new project or open an existing project
* Open a piano-roll in that project
* insert the notes from the first project (Ctrl+v)
As you can see i only had one instance of LMMS active, and this is a very cpu and ram friendly way to copy between projects.

I've already been using using the second method, but I think the dragging template is an excellent idea!

Thank you very much!
