- Polyphonic (up to 16 voices), mono, legato, and arpeggiator modes
- 4 envelope modes: ADSR or HDSR, linear or exponential. Sustain has Fall/Rise control
- Multimode filter: lowpass, bandpass, or highpass with drive and FM
- Combination arpeggiator / 16-step sequencer with extra modulation source
- Skinnable UI

4. RandARP
RandARP is a VST plugin arpeggiator with many randomization features, allowing incoming notes or chords to be manipulated in various rhythmic ways.
All standard arpeggiator parameters like a number of octaves, note length, and note order are included, but the plugin also offers complete randomization of the velocity, gate, shift, and swing parameters.
In addition, you can specify a note probability and randomize the note order, the octave order, and the number of octaves. All the randomization features allow you to create more interesting and unpredictable arpeggiated sequences.
OS: Windows
5. Hypercyclic
LFO-driven, midi-mangling arpeggiator.
- An LFO-driven MIDI arpeggiator, gate effect, and step sequencer
- For mangling sustained MIDI input chords
- The output of which can then drive other MIDI instruments
- Acts either as a VST or Audio Unit plugin for your DAW, or as a standalone application
- The original hypercyclic won 2nd place in the KVRAudio.com Developer Challenge ‘07
- The sweet spot for hypercyclic is the narrow border between chaos and regularity. Or, in other words, how to induce a certain pleasant randomness and syncopation, yet forcing everything to align again on the bar or beat boundaries
- OS: Windows / Mac
6. Drumper
Drumper1.5 free VSTi Groove, fx, and arpeggio synth.
OS: Windows
7. ARPE2600va
This amazing softsynth has a multitude of Frequency Modulation options which enable it to create some truly awesome sound effects.
PWM, Sample & Hold, virtual Spring Reverb, Ring Modulation, and a dedicated Noise Generator are all there! Also, there is Oscillator Sync and Filter Color (to adjust between LowPass and HiPass filter types).
You can have up to 12 patch routings with a very user-friendly (and visible!) drop-down menu interface.
OS: Windows
8. Dirty Harry
Dirty Harry is an unashamedly DIY lofi synth based on samples of dlM’s two homemade, lo-fi noise-makers, the Atari Punk Console and the BugBrand WOM.
- 20 unique waveforms sampled from dlM’s homemade lofi synths, the Atari Punk Console, and the BugBrand WOM.
- 3 oscillators, sync-able to osc1 and ring modulatable with each other.
- Each OSC can be routed to the filter independently.
- 2 tempo-sync LFOs with many waveforms, can modulate filter cutoff, each OSC pitch, and the contact depth and wet level.
- OS: Windows
9. ArpLite2
ArpLite2 treats an input chord as one block and generates an arpeggio by expanding a block with an octave.
OS: Windows
10. ApolloV3
This is a 16 step sequencer and arpeggiator with a MIDI out.
OS: Windows
11. Nova3
Nova3 is a VST 2.4 Generative Sequencer plugin inspired by Otomata.

12. ODsay
ODsay is an ARP Odissey emulation.
This instrument is inspired by the Arp Odyssey. Duophonic synth with 2 sync VCO (6 waveforms), 1 noise generator, Sample and Hold, 1 sine or square wave LFO, 2 filters (LP and HP), 1 VCA, and 2 envelopes (1 ADSR and 1 AR), portamento, and so on.
Everything is editable, tweakable and that gives many possibilities. 1 echo added. The sound is excellent, easy to modulate, with a nice analog touch. From noises to fat and full leads, it is a must-have.
OS: Windows
13. Tonus 2620
Tonus 2620 is a ARP 2600 emulation. This emulation is inspired by the real unit circuits but is not aiming to sound accurate to the hardware synth. No presets just like the real thing.
