Hey, I'm not sure why but the ARP will occasionally crash my MRCC, when it does so, I'm also unable to turn the MRCC back on because as soon as the arp gets power it blocks things again. The only way to recover is to unplug the arp. It happens periodically, but I have one use case that is 100% repr

I'm trying to use an Arturia Beatstep Pro to control the ARP so that I can control drum tracks simultaneously. As the BSPro is only capable of outputting (2x) monophonic lines, is there any way to have ARP build chords using the monophonic input from the BSPro as the root notes?

My arp boots up but it dosen't respond to any commands anymore. The buttons have stopped working. The only one that is working is the 3rd macro button and it behaves erratically. I've tried powering it up while holding the reset button but it makes no difference. It's been sitting unplugged on the d

Hi I'm running firmware v1.5.6.4532. I have spotted that when I start the Arp, the Maj and Sus4 Chord variants are set to Custom 1 and Custom 5 respectively, while all the others seem to be ok (i.e. as per the lettering above the buttons) Any idea what has happened and how I can force them to the

Hi, I'm attempting to update my Midicake to the latest firmware, but Windows doesn't recognise the device. I've connected the Midicake to my Windows 10 PC using the USB Midi port. Windows tells me the device is not recognised, checking device manager I see status of "Unknown USB Device (Device de

Hello, Just curious to what the power consumption of the ARP is? Was just trying to gauge how much current the USB host port on the ARP can safely supply, when the ARP itself is powered from a USB2 (500mA) port. I would test myself, but left my multimeter at work. Thanks!

Dear All I've searched the manuals and not seen anything that jumps out at me to solve this issue and I should probably go through the manuals thoroughly. However, in case it's a simple one, here's my scenario. I have a Keith McMillen USB K-Board which I was using along with a USB to Midi convert

Hello, I'm trying to control Arp with a Keystep but I have an issue when playing a few chords in a row. When I play the first chord Arp highlights the notes I play but when I play the second chord it does not deselect the notes from the previous one, it just adds them to notes from the first chord.

I am set in control mode to "out" and when I connect my microfreak directly to the USB host it receives midi and plays but when I connect a Caldigit powered USB hub to the USB host and plug my microfreak into the hup it does not work. Why? Is the USB host really only suppose to be to receive midi? H

In my 2nd unit which is a black version 1.5 when I select a chord such as DIM or AUG the note played is always MIN regardless of the note pressed. My 1st unit which is a white version 1.4 does not display this behaviour so I thought perhaps a firmware issue so I updated from V1.5.5.3971 to V1.5.4.33

I recieved my midicake a few days ago and would like to know the best way to set it up with my other hardware. I have a Roland sh4d, Roland tr8s, Korg modwave and Erica Synths zen delay unit. So far i've only had the time to play with some arps connecting to the modwave, the potentials for this uniq

Another probably silly pair of questions here, but is there: A) a way to limit a given arp to only octaves regardless of the number of notes in the current chord? B) a way to limit the maximum octave a given arp hits? Example: I wish Arp 1 to play a (single) octave ostenato bass line of the curr

I'm trying to gain a better understanding on how MIDI is implemented on the USB connectors of ARP. Throughout the manual, mention is made of MIDI data flowing into/out of 5-pin DIN or USB - with no differentiation of either USB-A or USB-B connectors. Only on page 22 I see: "USB The Type-B USB port

I'd like to alter the length of notes (note: not the gate length, but the actual time between when a note is triggered and when the next one is) so I can have the ARP play an alternating rhythm such as half, half, quarter, quarter, quarter, quarter (repeat), or more intricate or complex things. Idea

Hey, sorry I checked out for a bit, I'm not positive it's the same issue that was/is crashing the mrcc, but making a new thread for others. I was hoping the firmware update might catch this somewhere and get lucky, but no dice. Unfortunately, I'm in ableton mode so using that again and midicake is

Hello,😀 Midicake displays Gate in two units "bars" and "ticks" (ex: 10 ticks, 1/4 bar, ...) But I don't understand how long a tick is on a bar. 🤔 How to convert ticks to bar division ? Thank you Regards Denony.

Hi, I'm trying to set up a template project in my DAW that includes one track that will be for the chords sent to the ARP via MIDI OUT, and then VST tracks for the 4 ARP tracks using MIDI IN. I'm using an iConnectivity MioXL with MIDI DIN cables. Power is coming from USB-powered plug, so not connect

So far, really enjoying my first day with the Arp. However, I've a bit of a weird issue. I am using Arp with an NDLR, both with USB MIDI to my DAW (and from the DAW to both devices for sync and instructions.) I am not using pass-thru at this point. However, the Midi device names keep getting mixed

Sorry but with latest firmware 6 I had 2 crashes (reboot) with the Arp after about 20 minutes constantly playing. There seems to be nothing special I have done before. Maybe one of the new chop and ratcheting I touched before crashing. Someone else here?

Hi, I think my fav video is creating something from nothing.. posted about a month ago. Still learning midi. Do I need different machines for each patch running on the different app or can I set a channel on each arp to align with a different one in the same machine. Hope that makes sense. I'm try

I'm noticing some strangeness when clocking the ARP externally. Setup: Clock in from Cirklon 2 via USB port - always running, whether MIDI start/stop has been sent or not. ARP - slaved to clock, shows correct tempo flickering slightly +/- 1 (I assume USB jitter here). ARP has 4 patterns unmuted.

Don’t know why, but the Arp plays nice arpeggios when using maj, min, sis, dim and aug button but with 6th and 7th it repeats only one note. Latest firmware of june 2024.

Will the Digitakt 2 receive the scale that the midicake arp is set to?

I made a short video so you see what happens. It happens consistently. What see in the video: I load a patch. I go to the FX settings. I choose a percentage amount. I press play. Then I change the target. Everytime I reach the target Time Division, it’s stops playing as you can see in the screen (a

I just hooked up the Arp and like it so far. My plan is to integrate it with my existing setup that's based around the Retrokits RK-006. I think this is a very flexible partner for the Arp, allowing control over many MIDI devices and the RK is rock solid in my experience. I have it set up in mode 1

Having the option to save the set of Mute and Follow states per patch rather than as global would be very useful. I can find o suggestion that this is possible in the manual or have I missed something?

I have two Midicake ARPs which I want to control a Roland MC707's eight channels. Each ARP sends midi to a midi merge box and into the MC707. What would be the best way to sync the set up?

1. Can I "copy" or save the current arp settings to another patch bank of 12 instead of within the current one? 2. If I load a patch and then tweak it, have I permanently altered the stored patch that I loaded or can I re-load it to restore it to what it originally had?
