Hello Is it possible to lock the keyboard keys to the chords of a scale? For example, in Major key G, the chords are G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em, F#dim. Is it possible to configure the ARP so that when I press the B key, it plays a Bm chord directly without having to press the Minor key first, or the pre

Hello, I am having trouble successfully using my v1.5 (1.5.8.5133) ARP on anything but DIN midi. I've tried connecting directly to a CME HxMIDI WC midi hub both via the directly powered USB hub, or using a CME Uhost connected to the installed BLE Widi Core as either a USB host or device. I can see i

Hello. Thank you for this fantastic Chord Chain update, which I've been waiting for. I see the potential of Chord Inversion, but I don't quite understand what a position is versus inversion (see page 14 of the manual) as Midicake displays "Pos" but not "Inv", and why the Midicake no longer displays

Hello there! I would want to know if it's possible to configure the ARP to use the lowest note of chord as the base/root note of the chord? I don't press all they keys at exactly the same milliseconds so sometimes when I play a chord, the ARP is not taking the note I want as base note of the chord

Hi, on page 29 of the manual it says: "... Configuring Binary patterns - in SET-mode select either Velocity, Delay, Chop or Ratchet parameter using the buttons..." My question: How do I select Chop or Ratchet, as there are no buttons for these both? I tried things like double-tapping the Velocit

So I’m using ARP with eurorack. I’ve got a Bastl 1983 that does the midi to cv. I’m outputting 3 arp channels and clock/reset to the 1983. When I hit play on the arp it takes 2 or 3 bars to catch up and not be wonky is there any internal settings on the arp that I’m missing?

I built out a nice bank of midicake patterns that I can jump between, so the way I cue this live is to press LOAD on midicake and leave that page open so when I notice other transition cues musically I can easily glance over and one press launch next pattern synced with ie: drum machine change I've

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

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

Had midicake for 2 weeks and I'm noticing on occasion it seems to be preventing one of my synths from changing patch (hardware synth). I change the patch while playing and it doesn't change, no sound. If I push a few keys it then catches or if I stop Live and start again. It's only on one synth (MFB

I am in standard Arp mode (not Chord) and when I press a note button there are Note On and Note Off messages being sent immediately upon press, simultaneously. This happens whether I'm in live play mode or not. Is this intended? Is there a way to turn it off? I just want the arpeggiated notes to pl

Hi, I am trying to understand the scope of what's possible with the new MIDI CC modulations. Am I right in my understanding that MIDI CC changes are still only sent to the global CC Output MIDI channel, and not the MIDI channel assigned to the ARP track itself? Does this mean that with a no-DAW se

So I can copy over a patch to a new location say 1 -> 2 within the same bank. How do I change the key of the 2nd patch and retain the key of the 1st patch. E.g. Patch 1 is C Min and Patch 2 is F Min?

Hi - thank you for adding the new feature to modulate Midi CC controls but there is an aspect I would like to understand in a bit more detail (also saw the post relating to global MIDI CC channel - I had the same question so thanks for responding quickly to it!). I would like to understand how the

Hi Chris and thanks for your awesome control station for everything - okay, not everything, but who wants his roller shutter to open and close in arps 🤔 As you know, I use it to control four different Synths - Bass, Arp, Chord and Drone and as a master clock for ko2-drums and fx. Now we have come

I've found that with the current firmware (v8) the Chop function doesn't seem to be fully working. When I set it above 0, it will only effectively behave as Chop=1. In other words, I can only get a "double note" out of it. Chopping to 3 or 4 notes doesn't seem to be outputting additional note on/off

I just had on V8 and now realize that the short notes of the chord created in the chord chain are output on every run. Even when all arps are muted and I press play.... Below 1 is in Arp modus but a short chord is played on each chordchain

For the second time this year, all the patches I had tweaked and saved were completely lost and completely reset to default. Is there any way to get them back or keep this from happening again?!

Hello, I would like to have Ableton start/stop to be operated by the Midicake start/stop buttons. I mannage to Midi Map start, but stop doesn't work? Does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Rudi

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

Not sure if this is specific to the Oxi One, but if connecting the Arp to Oxi One device port, the Arp powers up and is recognised by the Oxi, but it doesn't send MIDI notes. I wondered if it might be a power or a USB handshake issue? Someone on the Oxi forum tried the Oxi into the Arp host port and

I'm having my very first jam with the arp and absolutely loving it so far. I can see this becoming really integral to my workflow! Quick query - I'm using a macro to control the amount of Mod B, which is sending a CC value. It's sending fine, but the value of the knob isn't reflected on the arp scr

Move->Cake works fine, but Cake->Move isn't functioning. I've been surprised by the Move and find it useful for sketching things and it plugs right into midicake really nicely Unfortunately traffic doesn't route back into the Move. I checked on some other connections and traffic seems to run fine f

I can't understand the effect the main channel mute button has on MIDI CC output. It seems to do something but doesn't entirely stop MIDI CC transmission. Can anyone offer more clarity ? Also what effect does "poly" and "mono" have on MIDI CC output ?

Dear Chris, Thankyou for the wonderful support and for v7. Okay after using the midicake with the roland SH4D for most of the year. moving on to trying to connect 4 devices at one. bought a dore midihub DOREMiDi NEW HUB-8 MIDI 6x6 USB MIDI Host x2 USB 3.1 MIDI Hub Box is this where I connect eve

I am using a 1010 Blackbox as sample player. The Arp works nicely when using Midi Out DIN > TRS Midi In. I can assign channels to the pads and each arp plays them. However when I go USB Midi > USB Midi no notes are played. Some midi is getting through, as it "starts" the Blackbox playing. I can

Chord chains don't seem to get copied over then I copy a patch. In fact the seem to disappear from the source patch too. They seem a bit transient? Is that to be expected.

Hello, Perhaps I'm understanding a feature wrong, but if I insert chords into the chain, the octave changes every time I change the scale. F.e. inserting a minor in oct 3 and then C major, C will be inserted in oct2. I can delete and go up so that it is oct 3 again, but I don't understand why. No

I was able to successfully update one of my cakes. When I tried to update the second, on the reboot it got as far as the blank white screen and has just hung there. I've tried unplugging and replugging it, but it all it does on powerup is go to the blank white screen.
