@jorge I was interested in better understanding the plugin, but I was somewhere in between amused and annoyed by the pure spammy-ness of the AudioPlugin.Deals use of an AI pseudo-podcast. I can tell you why the guy did it. A ton of spammy price-comparison sites by solopreneurs do that stuff with the belief that it will help them gain better search engine rankings (spoiler, it doesn’t; in fact, it’s more likely to send a sginal that you’re spamming search engines). I was just blown away at how ridiculously bad it is.

But I was trying to figure out what the plugin was all about. And from what I can discern — because the copy isn’t very well written — is that it’s an arpeggiator that has somewhat off-the-beaten-path arpeggios. Is that correct?

Actually, Harmony Bloom is really, really good. Don’t be blown off by the stupid AI podcast. Mario Nieto is a very talented, responsive developer. You should check out his Youtube channel where he uses Harmony Bloom to create intricate beautiful pieces live. He has numerous tutorials on Harmony Bloom and Chord Generator, his other product. Chord Generator is like Audiomodern’s Chordjam on steroids, which Mario also helped developed. He also has a very active discord channel. This is the type of developer I like to support.

Okay, I suppose I’ll pick it up. I really just tend to record myself playing, just like I did since I was a kid, starting with piano, maybe organ, then drums, guitars, bass and possibly synths or a Tron, and don’t use pre-written sequences. I’ve always had the mindset that if I want to play everything I record. But I suppose it could be a lot of fun to play with this — and for 12 bucks, it’s a cheap way to give it a shot. Thanks for the advice and links, @doug.
