This is a genuine question... How do you see Euclidian rhythms fitting with ARP's workflow? I'm thinking... Rhythm Patterns, Binary Patterns and Time Divisions. ARP can create any of these Rhythms currently (I believe) but what would be the benefit of using an algorithmic generator?

Love it! Have a safe and succesful trip! 🎶

@@midicakemidi last day of trip. I will take a snapshot of the setup.

Definitely! ☺

Thanks, it was a much-needed rest. Thank you for your support, as always!

Unlike a step sequencer or MIDI recorder, where you enter the exact notes, ARP generates melodies based on the notes/chords you chose. The sequences themselves are built by combining various parameters, each controlling a different aspect of the musical sequence. The possibilities are huge. ARP has a wealth of parameters and modulations that can be combined to create a virtually unlimited variety of melodies. It is generative but it's not random. You explore but you are in control. Take a look at some of our other videos to see how it works. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask. Contact us at midicake.com or on our forum.

Thank you. Happy music-making! ❤

Thank you! This video should perhaps go into the Tutorials Playlist. With so many new features for ARP at each new firmware update, it is almost impossible to keep the Tutorial videos up to pace. Really appreciate your feedback, though, and your kind words. Cheers!

Thank you!

@@docjoesweeney MIDI Visualizer.github.com/kosua20/MIDIVisualizer It's a good thing.

@@midicakemidi thanks!

I had to dig through the archives to find out. I used 3 instances of Massive for this in Ableton. Build from the following 3 presets (Gamma State, Cruithne's Orbit, Clean2Hiss). There's a fairly huge amount of reverb on each track. The drums are an 808.

It's just a rounding issue... ARP is receiving MIDI Clock from Seqtrak and digital clock timing (particularly over USB) is notoriously prone to single-tick latency because it's at the mercy of microprocessors that are busy doing lots of other work. (I've talked about this in the past on our forum). It's too fast to detect in the audio with human ears. The latency is usually less than 1 millisecond. However, because ARP calculates the tempo based on the timing between the ticks, even tiny changes, in the gap between ticks, can result in different tempos being calculated for the display. For example, at 138bpm each clock tick is only 18ms apart, so a 1ms latency equates to a 5% variance. Even with ARP's smoothing algorithm, which samples the last n ticks, the issue is very apparent at certain tempo timings. You'll see this occur on many digital devices that detect tempo from an external clock. It's nothing to worry about as the tempo calculation is only for the display. ARP triggers its note output on the clock tick (not the calculated tempo), so if one tick is slightly late, the next will be on time and the music rolls on. I hope that answers your question and if anyone knows of a better solution to tempo detection I'd be very interested. :)

@@midicakemidi Thanks for the very detailed reply! That makes sense, I didn't realise at first that it was the seqtrak and not your ARP that was the midi clock source. I'm surprised there is so much jitter from the seqtrak as I would have thought a microcontroller based device like it would actually do much better than say a DAW running on an general purpose preemptive OS that is switching between hundreds of processes a second. Anyways thanks again for the quick reply 👍

I use the Flame uQMCV and u16CC combo, they are small and do everything I want. MIDI Thru, Clock, 4 Note Channels and 16 CCs. There's a discussion about MIDI to CV Eurorack options on our forum... www.midicake.com/forum/general-discussion/eurorack-multi-channel-midi-to-cv

@@liotier Cheers, It's a good suggestion. ARP is designed to work with any MIDI chord sequencer though its own chord engine is pretty powerful and versatile. We are working on enhancing ARP's internal chord chain sequencer too. I'll, perhaps, try to do a video on chord sequencing soon. The J-6 might feature. Thanks!

Cheers!

Thank! Yeah, good memories! 🤖

Brilliant! Happy music-making. 🙂

Midicake ARP is only available from our secure online shop at midicake.com. Using a reseller would increase the price by at least 30%. We use DHL to ship worldwide and handle local taxes. We also support ARP with a world wide 12 month warranty.

Cheers!

Each track has it's own set of parameters that control the sequence. In SET Mode, press the Midi Out button to set the MIDI Channel for the individual track.

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6XNk6mKd62SpNEsi=6rttRjiNp_DPrIJR kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4DKf2mkjJ6VjKMsi=l8-fZGTCItpX9Yd9

@@midicakemidi Thx for your feedback and help

Yes, this Thursday. 😊

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it! Cheers for you fantastic support. ❤️

Black. Need to match the other synths.

I got mine two weeks ago and have noodled with each day... It's great fun.

@@joesweeney6262/videos Yup! Every day - me too!
