Is playing an ARP pattern note by note on a keyboard cheating?



Seems like the real ARP artists just push the buttons and let it rip.

    Phillip Glass plays all of his note by note.  "I" hit latch, turn the ARP on and push buttons.

    So, you're a real Arp artist?

    ANY real Arp artist is preferable to a so-called Rap artist, ya?

    True dat!

    Rap has gotten a bad name/reputation throughout time:

    Rap - to hit

    Rap - was a set of excuses a con artist handed you in an effort to deceive you.

    Rap - In the 70s a rap were the words a person used when trying to persuade you.

    Rap sheet 
    Rap artist
    Rap a port 

    Arp artist is still in it's infancy stage ya?

    Cheating normally has deceit as it's trade-mark.
     
    So if you are happy to state you did the arp manually I can't see a problem with it.  I think you'd get a more precise, deliberate result with a 'real' arpeggiator though.
     
    Here's a tip try running a 'home-made' arpeggio alongside a proper one an ocatave apart, you'll get the best of both worlds.

    For best results, drink a pint of 'Arp first.

    (Note that the spelling may vary until you've had a few pints.  HTH.)
