Workflow Ideas

1. Connect Midicake ARP to a single hardware or software synth via MIDI Out or USB and create a simple sequence on arp 1.

2. Explore the Chord and Note buttons to create interesting chord progressions.

3. Copy your parameters to a different patch and tweak the parameter values slightly, then load each patch in turn during playback to get interesting variations.

4. Copy the arp 1 parameters to arp 2, then tweak the values to create two complementary sequences. Do the same for arp 3 and arp 4.

5. Create a long-running sequence by setting each arp to follow the previous.

6. Increase the complexity of the sequence by modulating one or two parameters across the 4 arps.

7. Program the Macro Controls to modify any parameter you desire to create unique performances.

8. Change the Midi Out Channel parameter of each arp to control a different sound generator or hardware synth.

9. If you can, why not connect 4 Hardware synths and 4 Software VSTs and control them all with ARP.

10. Connect a midi keyboard via USB or MIDI In and set the (menu) MIDI Input Channel to match the keyboard. Then play the keyboard and the sequence will track the incoming notes.

11. Connect a sound generator via MIDI Out or USB to the same MIDI channel as the keyboard, then you can play sounds with the keyboard and ARP will continue to track.

12. Experiment with Scales and Custom Chords.

13. Set the (menu) Midi Control to OUT and connect to external sequencers, DAWs, drum machines, etc. to control their playback and tempo.

14. Set (menu) Midi Control to IN to control ARP with external sequencers and DAWs.
