Arpeggios might be the bread-and-butter of modular melodies, but nothing kills the vibe quicker than a predictable note treadmill. In their latest video, Frap Tools—those Italian purveyors of design-driven Eurorack elegance—lay out four crafty ways to keep your arps from putting the crowd (or yourself) to sleep. From LFO-driven rhythm skewering to dual-arpeggio layering, chord mode shenanigans, and even fake sidechain thump, this tutorial is a neat study in how to make your modular lines feel alive and unscripted. If you want to push beyond vanilla arpeggiator fare, this is a practical, patch-oriented roadmap.
