Turn a chord into a repeating note pattern

An arpeggio plays the notes of a chord one after another. Start with A3, C4 and E4, or enter a supported chord symbol such as Am7. Applying a source turns it into a visible note set; typing alone keeps the current phrase intact.

Choose an ascending, descending, up-and-down, entered-order or shuffled pattern. The order continues across bar lines. Up and down visits each endpoint once before changing direction, so the highest and lowest notes do not get repeated at every turn.

Shape its rhythm with spacing, rests and gate

Eighth notes place two positions in a quarter-note beat, sixteenths place four, and eighth-note triplets place three. Tap any pattern tile to replace that position with a rest; tap it again to restore the note. View one bar at a time when working on a longer phrase.

Gate sets the sounding length as a percentage of each position. Shorter gates leave space between notes; a full gate reaches the next position. Optional controls select 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars, one to three octave spans and a whole-number tempo from 60 to 180 BPM.

Keep the notes, sound or editable settings

Play once auditions the complete phrase. MIDI keeps its note events and tempo for an instrument in your music software. WAV keeps the synthesized reference sound. Both follow the same event sequence and end at the selected bar boundary.

A settings link restores the supported source, rhythm and rest choices without starting sound. These are browser-made patterns rather than a live AI song generation. Opening the separate TunePal app does not automatically import the result.

Common questions

Can I use my own chord or notes?

Yes. Enter a supported chord symbol or one to eight note names such as A3 C4 E4, then apply them. Scientific pitch notation uses C4 for MIDI note 60.

What is the difference between gate and note spacing?

Spacing sets when positions occur. Gate sets how long a note sounds within its position. A rest removes the note at that position while keeping the timing of the phrase.

Can I download the arpeggio without an account?

Yes. MIDI and synthesized reference WAV downloads are free without signup. MIDI does not contain the preview sound; choose an instrument after importing it.
