Your 16th-note arp gets a warm Moog-like tone that opens and shifts as you press harder.

Shark-tooth Drift arp that opens with pad pressure

any daw

◢ the move

6 steps

Drop Arpeggiator before Drift. Set its rate to 16th notes.
In Drift, set Osc 1 to shark tooth, Octave -1, Shape 0.64.
Set Drift gain to 2.8 for light overdrive.
Set filter Slope to 24 dB/oct and cutoff low so the closed tone is dark, then assign pressure to filter cutoff so harder presses open it.
Assign pressure to Osc 1 shape at -22 so hard presses shift the shape.
Lower Drift sustain and decay until the arp notes are short and plucky.

why it works

Pressure-modulated filter cutoff and oscillator shape change the harmonic content of the repeated 16th-note pattern, so it stops sounding static.
