Midicake released ARP, a hardware generator/sequencer/controller for creative and generative music composition. Whether using hardware or software instruments, samplers, and synthesizers.

Each arpeggiator can operate as a pad, chord, or arpeggio; outputting midi signals independently or combined on a single channel.
Midi Output is via USB and MIDI port with the potential to control 8 unique devices.
It can operate as a standalone controller or can be clock synced to any midi master.
In Play-Mode you act as composer and musician, directing the movement of the music through key and chord selection.
In Set-Mode, you configure each channel independently or as a group to change the way its channel will behave. All in real-time with the music.
The unique step, jump and bounce controls take the possibilities beyond conventional arpeggiators into complex musical and rhythmical sequences that are at once complex and original, intriguing, and yet predictable.
It offers an alternative way to compose and create breaking beyond the limitation of step sequencers.
The wide-ranging gate release and time division options offer huge scope, from short fast bass and lead lines to long meandering and varying melodies that can run for hours before repeating. There’s nothing random or to chance though, you are in control.
Midicake ARP is designed to be operated with a single hand, leaving the other hand, if you are lucky enough to have one, free to operate other controllers or instruments
