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 a long way and I guess V9 will arrive soon, so here is a short list of old and new bugs and wishes:

. missing live performance mode

. Chord chain stucks or doesn't start after change of pattern

. still encountering random weird tempo glitches, if using poly & chord-mode with chops - but that's perhaps my ko2

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.

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??

So in the beta version 9 we have a visualizer for showing notes as beams in a piano roll. Why not extend it to some different display types, different visualizers like Yamaha does in the Seqtrak App? OK, Yamaha exaggerated it a bit 🙂. But something similar would be a cool feature for the Arp, wouldn’t it?

As V9 is right around the corner I might be a little late to the party, but after playing around with the arp for some days, the following things came in mind:

• It would be helpful when the custom chord editing (long press on chord button) would also be available in the chord chain editor.

• Regarding custom chords, if the notes selection is equal to any of the preset chords the display should show this chord instead.

• A Tap Tempo function. I plan to use the arp in jam situations then this might become handy. Though I have no idea which button to use for this so maybe this will not happen but it would be nice.

I enjoy playing with Live Play on Note Input and would like a way to hold the chord. Unless I'm missing an existing menu option... I would love see the ability added to use a normal midi keyboard sustain pedal CC64 message to "hold" the external chord. Thanks, love the Arp!

I may be missing something, but when using key split I cannot find a way to allow "thru" the input notes from in the filtered out region of the keyboard.

When using key split, it would be nice to allow thru for the input notes aren't in the active arpeggiator region (high or low). Perhaps it could be a new option under Midi Thru for "On (in key split)"?

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 values.

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 press F# key to play a F#dim chord without having to press the Dim key first.

I would have this to save time when changing chords and stay more focused on my performance.

Thank you

Regards
