Seeing you here excited about this is not going to help my finances.... I'm mesmerised by the possibilities that this could add to a pure live looping environment.

Good seeing you here and enthusiastic , Ron. Love you videos .. I was gonna buy a Squarp Hapax, but Midicake arp sure has me reconsidering.. Smaller and cheaper too.

Thanks Maria, you're such a star! Your support has been brilliant! Enjoy the update. ❤️

@@midicakemidi and you are so sweet. Thank you. I had surgery in two places on my left hand 5 weeks ago and it put a major damper on all things music but with occupational therapy and big compliance on my part doing all the home exercises (and unfortunately one more cortisone shot ) I’m doing so much better. Am starting to do music more and looking forward to getting even better. Can’t wait to use the “new” arp !! :)

@@midicakemidiCan I store its internal programs to my iPad or do I need an actual laptop/desktop ?

​@WyattLite-n-inn Not currently, but we're working on it for a future update. In the mean time, you have 16 banks each with 12 patches, and can quickly Load and Copy those patches to create songs.

@@midicakemidi That would be great ! “ just knowing that’s in the cards works for me . Remember there’s a large contingent if the “dawless” crowd that is interested in Midicake , so they don’t always wanna depend on solely the computer . There’s even a “Midicake/ipad” video out by Maria DePaul. Definitely gonna be getting this sometime soon then. Thanks again! And congratulations on the amazing review you just got in “Sound On Sound “ magazine ! There’s definitely a huge iOS contingent using this thing I’m sure .

That is great to hear! I hope you have many happy hours with ARP. Any questions just ask, happy to support in an way. Have fun!

Arrived this afternoon! Very prompt. I've already experimented with driving the Arp with NDLR Pads on pass-thru mode. Got it working... now just need to learn how to jam with this new little bundle of joy.

@@docjoesweeney Brilliant! I look forward to hearing what you make with ARP. Enjoy! 😎

@@lummsmusik3219 Thank you! This was a huge effort and I'm so glad to see V6 released and people enjoying the benefits of all the hard work. You are right about the documentation, it's not an easy task but we'll worth it in the end. All the best and keep making great music!

Thanks! Trying to make ARP better all the time.

You cannot do this currently, but it is certainly a very interesting idea and something we could look at for a future update. I will add it to the feature request list. We do have a feature development on the roadmap that would be able to achieve this result but in a subtly different way. In the mean time you can quickly drop the number of steps or increase the repeats and/or increase the time division, either via the params directly or by assigning those parameters to Macros or external MIDI CC to achieve interesting effects. You can even add modulations for similarly interesting results. Thanks for the input. I hope that answers you question.

ARP isn't primarily designed as a groove box but it can make for some very interesting result when working with percussion. Take a look at these vids where I show some examples and how to set it up. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9qaldmFp67DnqM.htmlsi=6rttRjiNp_DPrIJR kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7WXgZmfvJ_GhnU.htmlsi=l8-fZGTCItpX9Yd9

@@midicakemidi Thx for your feedback and help

Great question! Yes, if MIDI Thru is enabled, all MIDI data goes clean through.

So MidiCake will strip the channel data from the notes it processes and sends to midi out?

Sorry, I missed your reply. Technically, ARP doesn't strip any data. It only uses incoming notes to set the Global Chord/Scale (that is the pool of notes from which are builds it's sequences) and let's those notes pass clean through. It then output's it's own notes on the MIDI channel defined for each of the 4 arp tracks. For example the input chord might be on ch 1 and ARP's tracks are set to 2, 3, 4 & 5. So you'll get MIDI note output on 5 channels (including the original chord notes on ch 1) It doesn't have to be though. You can use any MIDI Channels you want. So, if all 4 tracks are on ch 1 and the MIDI Input Channel is 1 and MIDI Thru is ON, then you'll get 4 sequences of notes and the original input chord notes; all on Channel 1. It's very versatile. You just have to be aware that some synths, mono synths in particular, might not behave when they have layered MIDI notes. To combat this, each of ARP's tracks have a MONO Voice Mode. Hope that helps.

I am seriously considering buying Using this in parallel with my NDLR and voltage modular setup. T The way you've described the midi handling hear basically confirms how I was thinking about setting this up.

I am of course biased, but it is designed to be very easy to use once you get to know the basics. Take a look at some of the many other videos. 👍

ARP has a huge list of chords, up to and including 9ths and many scales too. However, 11ths and 13ths are not listed because they expand beyond a single Octave and ARP's global Chord/Scale (the notes used to generate sequences) only cover the 12 semitones octave range. That said, you can create any custom chord you like, so building 11ths and 13ths is easy. Simply hold a chord button and toggle the notes of the chord. I hope that helps.

@@midicakemidiI hope everyone saw that…I asked a pertinent question and got a response just a few hours later..Thank you sir…

@@WyattLite-n-inn You are very welcome. Thank you for the appreciation!

Thank you for your feedback. We do not, currently, use resellers and only sell directly from our website. We are proud to be an independent and innovative maker and simply cannot afford to absorb the 30% markup that resellers expect, without significantly increasing our prices. We support customers in the same way as any reseller and are committed to our 12-month warranty. As detailed in our terms and conditions. We ship using DHL Worldwide, who have proven to be outstanding, both in delivery times and efficient handling of customs fees. Our 3rd party payment systems (Paypal and Stripe) are safe and reliable. I hope it's clear that, given ARP's capabilities, it represents great value and if we were to sell through a reseller you would pay significantly more. Regarding the 16 step patterns. ARP isn't a step sequencer and so isn't limited to just the 8 steps of the Binary Patterns. ARP is a Parametric Sequencer, it is the combination of different parameter values that produce the almost unlimited sequences it is capable of. Both the Binary Pattern (the 8 steps) and the Pattern length can be modulated, meaning that you can create incredibly long sequences without the pattern repeating. The same is true of ARP's Rhythm and Groove patterns which are 16 steps in length. So, unlike a step sequencer or traditional arpeggiator, there is no practical limit to the length of ARP's sequences. It is determined by the parameter combinations and your modulations. Regarding Timing, ARP takes a slightly different approach. It is capable of virtually any time division, simply by selecting the division of a MIDI bar (96 clock ticks). This untraditional approach, combined with the ability to modulate the time division, means you can explore virtually any musical timing. Take a look at the V5 Update videos on our channel for an in-depth look at this approach. I hope you find this information useful and thank you again for your input.

@@midicakemidi Thank you for the detailed answer. It is great that you put so much effort into communications here, and I understand your points. I will watch your videos to consider if it makes sense for me to buy Midicake.

​@@midicakemidithe parametric aspects of sequencing is exactly what makes this sort of tool so wonderful. I can't wait to put this gem through its paces.

Yes, you can. It's worth taking a look at the overview videos. Check out the tutorial playlist or the tutorials on Midicake.com. ARP is a parametric sequencer which means its sequences are determined by the rules that you define, then use the chord machine or an external keyboard to set the global chord/scale. You can create virtually any arpeggios trigger with any chord or scale. Then, of course, modulate those sequences. It's a powerful sequencer but easy to use, once you get the concept.
