Voice leading setting

Quick question , does the voice leading option also work on the chord track mode or just arps tracks. I tried switching it on in the global settings , but i didn't notice a change of chord inversions from (example) - say from a C minor chord to a G minor chord - (G minor using 2nd inversion) to bring the notes closer together - when using chord chains it might be that the steps need more than 3 notes maybe ? just curious - I'm still new to the device and need to fully read the manual :)

It should work for the Chord Track, too. When you say changed from C Minor to G Minor, you mean by pressing ARP's Note buttons, and with Voice Leading enabled?

Add octave bass note to each chord using chord track mode.

Hi , im new to midicake arp, just started using it..... its brill.


My question, if I have chord chain playing say - Cm Gm and Fm (as an example)


Using the chord mode / track ... is there a setting where I can add a lower octave root note / bass note per chord playing


Ive tried a few options but seem to just get higher octave root notes added to each chords

There's no simple way I can think to do this, exactly, on a single Track. You can use the note offset parameter to rotate the chord notes downwards, but not adding a single note an octave down, and keeping the original chord notes above.


You can have a chord with a wider interval spread by using Jump. But I'm not sure this is exactly what you want.


Your best bet is to add the low note on a 2nd track. Chord mode with 1 step and drop the octave. I'd also recommend locking the octave.


I hope that's useful info.

Arp thru to sequencer??


Hi, I just got my Arp and I'm having a blast. I have my keyboard going into my Arp which has a midi thru to my sequencer (sq-64). Would it be better to go keyboard to sequencer thru to the Arp instead? Or does it not really matter? Thanks

In short, it doesn't really matter the order, so long as the first device is set the thru. If you're really worried about latency, and if you are playing the synth live from your keyboard, I'd prioritize the Synth. ARP needs input in advance of any chord change anyway, so your input notes will always need to be slightly ahead of planned chord changes anyway. MIDI can handle 300 messages per second, so latency doesn't become an issue until you have a lots of MIDI flowing round. In the case where you have multiple synths, I would definitely invest in a MIDI Splitter, which sends the messages in parallel.

Muting a channel should also stop gates/triggers

Maybe there is a way to do this in the settings that I am unaware of but currently attempting to use my arp with my eurorack setup and when I mute a channel it stops sending note data however it continues to open a gate which in a eurorack setup just causes a single note to play. Is there anyways to address this?

This seems like odd behaviour. Pitch info is held in both the note on and off messages, and gate is the time between the two. When muted, the track stops outputting note ons and sends any remaining note offs when the gate time is reached.


How are you converting MIDI to CV?


A couple of things it could be: -

- A very long gate setting?

- POLY Voice Mode (playing a MONO synth voice) Try MONO.

- MIDI Output Channel - Set this to OFF. It is only needed for Daisy Chaining, and emits chord notes on the selected channel.


Let me know how you get on.
