Such things do exist in the PC World. The sampler in EnergyXT has a "beat slicing" feature that does exactly as you say. It slices audio up and assigns note numbers to the slices, which you then play back with midi input, an arpeggiator or step sequencer. There's also the free audio arpeggiator from analogx http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/audio/aarpeg.htm Of course, we still don't have Augustus Loop for the PC : ( On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 19:13:04 +0100, Per Boysen <per@boysen.se> wrote: > > On Jan 21, 2005, at 18:20, Art Simon wrote: > > > >> Cycling '74 pluggo? > >> http://www.cycling74.com/products/pluggo.html > > > > > > I have Pluggo here but can't find and audio arpeggiator among these, > > otherwise fantastic, plug-ins. > > > > To arpeggiate audio you first need a polyphonic pitch analyzer.
