Introducing: “Arp Of Darkness” a 1U Eurorack Arpeggiator as a part of the Nocturne Alchemy Platform.

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 5 playback modes more commonly found in arpeggiators. (Forward, Backward, Exclusive Pingpong, Inclusive Pingpong, and Random).
This module is a part of the emerging Nocturne Alchemy Platform - a flexible eurorack module series that shares the same robust Arduino-based hardware, allowing one to effortlessly swap functionalities through our intuitive web loader. By purchasing one module, you gain access to a full range of freely available firmwares, including our current creations, Slight of Hand and Arp Of Darkness, as well as others planned for future release! It's like getting multiple modules for the price of just one!

Thank you so very much! I really appreciate.

Nice jam!

Thanks!

So glad KZbin decided to recommend me something useful and interesting for once! This looks like a great project, good job!

[@greliot]

I like it enough to have just read the manual on your site. Is it possible to enter a 'rest' in the note sequence? Couldn't find how to do that. If not, maybe in a future firmware update? Thanks, cool module

[@FileTransferProtocol]

Thanks so much for your interest. So, the short answer is yes, you could do rests in multiple ways. The AOD doesn’t have an internal clock, so it advances on whatever gate signal is sent to the clock input. So if you are using something different than a straight clock (let’s say you use Euclidean triggers on Pam’s or Ornament & Crime you can achieve rests. The AOD only outputs the note CV, so you just mult whatever gate you send it to trigger the notes you desire. Does that make sense? It’s a very open design because it’s a platform for multiple firmwares. I’ll do a patch example video soon, but Robin over @molten modular technology is working on a review that will come sooner. I hope that helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGPJeHmVZtpgmKMsi=gWVjn_XC62eghAVf

@@FileTransferProtocol yes, makes sense, Thanks! just ordered one

Really nice concept ! How to purchase it in EU ? 🙂

[@FileTransferProtocol]

Sorry for the delay in response. We ship to the EU, so it can be purchased from our shop at: reverb.com/shop/flatsixmodular

[@m.scauflaire7893]

@@FileTransferProtocol Unfortunately, import taxes will be prohibitive 😢But thank you for your answer.

[@FileTransferProtocol]

@@m.scauflaire7893 I hear you. I am trying to figure out distribution, so I hopefully I can connect with EU distributors soon. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you so much for the interest.

[@m.scauflaire7893]

Fine, finger crossed. 🙂 Thanks!

If you were able to cut the price in half, it may be competitive. But as of now, I see an arp that takes up as much space as the quantizer I have, but doesn't quantize. It's also 3x the price of the quantizer I have (which also arpeggiates). Neat module, but too pricey as of now.

[@FileTransferProtocol]

Fair enough, but this is different than a normal arp as it’s similar to a shift register and it should be pointed out that there are multiple firmwares for it already, and more in development, and eventually will be open-sourced so people can develop their own firmware and share. That makes it multiple modules in 26hp. But thank you for commenting. All feedback is appreciated. 👍

@@FileTransferProtocol ah, I see. The firmware changing is the extra that I was missing. Keep at it!
