_pecking order SSS128




    _pecking order brings wonderfully drifty, vintage arpeggios to Ableton 12 with 128 presets + 16 controls to get down and derezzed with.


    Imagine an arp machine that brings an organic vibe and feel, instead of a robotic one. Using slow random LFOS and Ableton Drift, we created a pattern maker with a vintage flair and just the right amount of instability that you can dial in yourself.


    With over 128 presets you can scroll the classics. From full on 1980s, all the way to dirty bird anthems that will make things roll just right. 


    Just hold down some notes, and tweak your way to the perfect pattern with the 16 easy to use controls. You’ll be full on TRON in no time.


    Life's a runway, strut like a peacock.
