"Expanding on the last demo but a change of pace :)

Midicake ARP is programmed so that a single arpeggiator is triggering 4 synthesizers by modulating the MIDI channel over the length of a bar.

Use custom bounce patterns for the bassline played on the Pro-1.

Also using the System-1 as the MIDI note sync.

Exploring ARP - Why it doesn't behave like a classic arpeggiator

video upload by midicake

"People have asked many times why Midicake ARP isn’t doing what they expect it to when playing a keyboard.

ARP doesn’t function in the same way as a classic arpeggiator.

In this video I want to explain the key difference and why it makes Midicake ARP pretty special.

So why doesn’t ARP arpeggiate like a classic arpeggiator?"

Two Takes on the midicake ARP

Take a BITE of the midicake ARP video upload by Starsky Carr

"Generative and evolving or well controlled and precise - it's your choice. A clever concept - tracks are built with lots of lines playing a variation on the same chord.. .arps, bass, pads.. This takes that idea and gives you plenty of scope for experimentation. Keep it tightly controlled for Tracey arp interactions, or let it loose to discover ever evolving pattens.

"I was messing with Polyphony on the Blofeld synth and came up with this little ditty.

The ability to set the scale notes, that each arp follows, while the song is playing is pretty cool and another way to experiment with melody generation using Midicake ARP."

"Experimenting with synchronizing ARP with a sequencer as both MIDI clock and note input. The incoming notes determine the scale for all 4 arpeggiators."

Midicake ARP - Custom Chords and Octave lock

video upload by midicake

"Showing off Midicake ARP's abilities in customizing the notes available to the arpeggios.

I also lock the bass pattern to a fixed octave so it doesn't follow the global octave during the jam.

You might even spot me editing the bounce pattern. That will be available in the upcoming firmware update. More news on that very soon.

I hope you enjoy this, let me know in the comments what you'd like to see in these videos. The recent music box demo tunes are all very nice but I want to do more varied musical styles. A little edgier maybe? I'm open to suggestions.

"This has been on the TODO list for ages and I was so happy with the results I had to share. :)

16 sounds in Ableton, each set to a different MIDI channel. ARP is set to modulate the output MIDI Channel on each arp over a number of bars.

Coming soon! MIDI Channel modulation will be included in the November firmware update.
