Arp Of Darkness Updated! Firmware 1.3.2 - New features, and front panel

video upload by FlatSix Modular

"The Arp Of Darkness continues to evolve with free firmware updates that add functionality and features. In this latest firmware update, it gets the ability to save the buffer sequence on the fly so you can automatically load it the next time you power on your system, or load it live during a performance.

This opens up the ability to create a musical phrase, save it, mutate and change the phrase over time, and then recall it, either immediately (Instant Load) or at the end of the current playing sequence (Cued Load).

This update also add the ability to clear the buffer allowing you to start rebuilding your buffer sequence manually anytime you want.

Finally, I'll discuss the new front panel for the Arp Of Darkness, and a free way to update it yourself if you are the DIY type.

Be sure to grab the new firmware and manual from https://www.flatsixmodular.com/firmware

'Arp Of Darkness'
Nocturne Alchemy Platform - Free Swappable Firmwares
The Arp Of Darkness is an arpeggiator with a unique twist: It's designed to create dynamic and evolving note sequences by utilizing a buffer approach similar to a Turing Machine or Shift Register.
Unlike traditional arpeggiators, which typically play chords as individual notes in a predefined pattern, this
module allows you to enter notes sequentially into a buffer of variable length, (from 3 up to 16 notes) and play it back using 6 playback modes more commonly found in arpeggiators. (Forward, Backward, Exclusive Pingpong, Inclusive Pingpong, Golden Ratio, and Random).
Height: 1U (Intellijel format)
Width: 26HP
Depth: 40mm ("Skiff-friendly")
4 octaves of control from C0 to C4
6 note buffer lengths (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 16)
6 playback modes (Forward, Backward, Exclu Pingpong, Inclu Pingpong, Golden Ratio and Random) with cyclce select, direct select, (queued & immediate) and reset
Clock input and CV out calibrated to 1V/0
Calibration mode with tuning for each note across 4 octaves (Comes pre-calibrated)

"Introducing the Seventh Summoner - a 1U eurorack performance sequencer with a unique twist!" Flat 6 Seventh Summoner and Arp of Darkness Jam

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Seventh Summoner is the third firmware from Flat 6 running their fabulous 1U keyboard module. This one is a sequencer with up to 32 steps, different play modes and the saving of up to 6 sequences. I've paired it with the Knob Technology ηCarinae, through the Replicant Filter and into Echo Cinematic. The ARP of Darkness, meanwhile, is playing the Castor & Pollux II through the Foxtrot Duo filter and into an Erica stereo delay.

That's it! I think I've found my sequencer combo for live performance."
