The Tangible Instruments Arpeggio portable arpeggiator, sequencer, and synth is now available to pre-order, with shipping planned for January 2025.

The Arpeggio has had a long journey to availability. It was originally announced in 2015, when the developer raised $94,713 via a successful Kickstarter campaign. After many delays, it shipped to project backers in November.

The compact instrument has three main functions:

• Arpeggiator – Up, up-down, down, down-up, sequence (as played), reverse styles. Or activate the Arpeggiator Overlay to create your own arp styles and rhythms.
• Sequencer – Sequences are created and saved on the fly. You can create a sequence and then save it to a bank while it’s playing. Sequences are monophonic and can be up to 128 notes long. Individual steps in a sequence can be of different note lengths, and gate lengths. Like an arpeggiator, the sequence length expands as notes are added. You can link melodic sequences together, add rest notes, and delete notes all in real time. Attach the advanced sequencing overlay and scrub through your sequence to delete or insert notes, add slides, and adjust swing.
• Synthesizer – A monophonic virtual analog synthesizer. Turn the voice knob to cycle through 24 different synth patches and adjust shape, attack, and portamento. Synth features include: dual oscillators, dual ADSR Envelopes, dual LFOs, six oscillator waveforms, low-pass filter & detune. Dive deeper using the synthesizer overlay and completely customize all synth parameters, create and save your own sounds.
