Arpeggiator Link Mode
Build linked rhythmic motion across multiple hosted instruments while keeping the setup playable from a single keyboard performance.
Tutorial Video
Key Takeaways
- Link arpeggiators across several output rows so one edit can shape a larger orchestration.
- Use row types, repeats, and velocity editing to create rhythmic string movement.
- Route mod wheel control into the setup so the pattern remains performable.

What this tutorial demonstrates
Arpeggiators do not have to behave like isolated single-instrument effects. In filament, linked arpeggiator setups can become part of a wider orchestration system, with several instruments sharing timing while still playing different musical roles.
Why link mode matters
When the arpeggiators are linked, the setup is easier to shape as one musical gesture. The video shows a basic string section becoming a rhythmic texture without needing to build separate DAW lanes for every part.
- Keep multiple arpeggiators in time from one editing view.
- Give bass, cello, viola, and violin parts different rhythmic functions.
- Keep the result playable rather than locked into a static programmed part.
Performance control
The final section routes velocity control through the mod wheel, turning the pattern from a fixed grid into something that can be shaped while playing. That is the important workflow idea: the setup is programmed, but the musical result still responds to performance.
