It's a good suggestion. I've had another request to make this option per track. I'll look into it and add it to the future features list.

Associate chord chain with patch

I love the chord chain feature but think it would be useful if you could 'pin' a saved chord chain to a patch. It's great that there's a separate pool of chains you can save to and draw from across patches, but for my workflow I make chord chains very specifically for the patch I'm working on. So switching patches then remembering to switch chains is confusing, especially when performing live. I've also ended up overwriting chains because I forget chains aren't saved with patches.

I can see how this would be useful and how it might be achieved, however, I have a couple of concerns/queries...


Would you want the associated chain to be applied immediately on loading a patch or would it be acceptable to load it manually?


If you associated, say, chain 1 with patch 1, then changed patch, then editted the chain, then loaded patch 1, would you be ok with chain 1 having changed?


This later point is difficult to overcome given the limited storage space ARP has.

Live rhythm & groove recording

First sorry for my bad english and maybe my idea is difficult to explain.

With Rhythm patterns and Groove patterns you can configure gate, velocity and delay into a pattern for each step seperately. This is great but also a little uncomfortable (sometimes ;-)).

In most little drum machines like Volca Beats you can use a kind of live mode where you play/drum live on an instrument and it is directly recorded to the sequencer. So in Midicake Arp: wouldn`t it be possible to record and transform a live played rythm (One knop on device or external drum pad) to a rythm/groove pattern? This would really help me to create intuitive rythm patterns on the go(groove patterns I don`t use very much). Hopefully my words make any sense.

The groove setting on the arp seems completely unuseable as far as I can tell. You turn it on even a little and everything sounds terrible. Maybe there's a way to use it in a more musical way that I haven't figured out yet.

Makam Scale

Hello again,

I'm really really looking forward to V9 - thank you for your precious work!


Actually we are on a Balkan-Trip and I love the Hungarian Scales in the Arp.


But wouldn't it be great, also for the Arabic market, to support microtuning over pitchbend?


Like the pitch filter became somehow unimportant for me after you installed the song-mode in the sequencer - because I now can set the pitch start there plus the note offset and the step limitations (or vice versa) can replace the pitch filter - it would be a lot more versatile to send pitchbends and automate them for arabic or turkish scales..


Sorry for all my ideas - they are just brain-noise I have to get out. I'm totally fine with your awesome gear, but inspirations come and go, right??

Hey Chris and thank you for your fast response and the explanation - everything understood.


Normally, I don't do beta-testing any more, but if v9 shouldn't be ready soon, I would make an exception..


Thanks for watching

Btw, I forgot how good cables and a decent mixer are able to spice up music.


See ya
