Modalics offers the EON ($29 value) arpeggiator plugin as a FREE download for a limited time.
Arpeggiators are indispensable for synths, and it’s always a delight to see solid plugins taking them on. While Cthulhu and BlueARP have served faithfully for many a year, Modalics has thrown their hat into the ring with EON.
EON is an immensely deep arpeggiator. While it functions just fine as your typical arpeggiator, it has a number of functions that sets it apart from others.
The first thing to note regarding EON is that it is polyphonic, meaning you aren’t solely constrained to playing back notes in a monophonic manner. This opens up a lot of potential for constructing plucks, sequencing out chords with some groove, or whatever else might suit it.
Steps and pitch are fully controllable, which you would expect for an arpeggiator. Where it departs from conventional arpeggiator designs though, though, is in its implementation of key switchable snapshots. This lets you construct numerous arpeggiator patterns and assign keys to trigger any of the eight available slots.
If you’re after steadily evolving arps, coupling EON with some automation should lead to endless hours of fun.
Modalics has extended the highly flexible sequencing seen in their Beat Scholar plugin to EON, giving a melodic and harmonic counterpart to its percussive sibling. While this doesn’t work as a fully realized step sequencer, it has a lot of deep control to get things rolling.
Polyrhythms aren’t an issue for EON either, so you can create some truly wild melodic sequences which weave in and out of the rhythm of your track.
But enough of telling you what EON is about. It’s free for now, so you can download and test it in your DAW.
