Proof of concept: [Scaler 2.4.1. Chordal+Arpeggio](https://soundcloud.com/user-938271334/scaler-241-chordalarpeggio) This isn’t possible inside Scaler at the moment, since you have to choose one or the other (either perform a chord progression in arpeggio mode, or with the Chordal performance). But if you put an arpeggiator from your DAW (or other arp plugin) behind the Scaler Chordal performances (MIDI out of Scaler, into Arpeggiator, into actual instrument), the melodies are marvelous! Ambient Remix: [Scaler 2.4.1. Chordal+Arpeggio (Ambient Remix) by Aleamanic](https://soundcloud.com/user-938271334/scaler-241-chordalarpeggio-ambient-remix) I personally don’t need the arpeggiator in Scaler since I always use external, dedicated arp plugins. But it might expand Scaler’s own sonic variety even more if once could choose to arpeggiate any of the other performances, instead of making an exclusive decision between one or the other. ---

Yeah, this is really nice. Chordals look like something revolutionary and you use them as a master. Creative! ---

I must admit in my ignorance (or early dementia having forgotten what I once learned in my classic humanistic upbringing), that I had to lookup what this pun means. > _personification of storm winds._ Indeed!

> [@Bernd](#): > > what this pun means Yes: it’s a mix of the mythological sweeties (LOL) and arpeggiators 🤣 ---

The Wikipedia article also said: > _abominable their droppings_ > _they snore with repulsive breaths_ How am I supposed to understand this as musical feedback?? 🤣 ---

be careful to ill-treat Harpies: those sweeties get angry quite easily 😁
