BlueARP DM: hardware arpeggiator/sequencer (news & discussion)

[Synthient Sound]

Just wanted to mention that we are having Marshal Arnold on today as our special guest on the Pro Synth Network livestream. One of the topics will be the BlueARP and how he has been using it. 8pm UK, 12pm LA.

A quick update. We are in the beta-testing phase. There are 2 beta-testers now: Marshal Arnold since august, Ranzee joined us recently (check their youtube channels, they are named the same).
According to my plans, Saif Sameer (aka phreaque here) should be testing the unit as well, but due to awful work of delivery services it still didn't happen.
Manual is 90% ready.
No hardware issues so far (knock on wood).
Firmware wise, I have only a few minor things left to implement and hope to finish polishing the firmware this year.

I'm excited to announce that
Ranzee will host the stream with me and Marshal on the topic of BlueARP unit.

I think this is an amazing project. Congratulations with the fantastic results so far. I hope you'll be selling them soon!

I hope first small batch will be available for ordering in Fall 2021. Don't have the exact price yet (it depends on a few unknown variables), but it will be somewhere around 800 USD.
No webpage yet, it will be there as soon as official sales start.
The major specs are:
1. Runs 8 instances of BlueARP in parallel
2. DIN5 MIDI: 2 inputs, 4 outputs
3. USB-A port to connect MIDI controllers
4. USB-B port for power or USB-MIDI transfer to/from PC
5. 2 pitch CV/gate outputs or single pitch CV/gate/velocity
6. Single voltage input to receive pulse clock
7. SD Card slot for storing/recalling projects
8. Control software to edit stuff on PC (looks like a plugin + extra panel)

I started a forum at modwiggler, they kindly allowed me to be hosted there
as an indie synth maker:
https://modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=258427
(this will be home for BlueARP DM, main discussion)
Cause there it is a more gear-focused community.

PS. Main thread for the BlueARP plugin remains here at KVR, no changes:

Hi. The project was idle for a few months. Now I'm slowly building and selling them, but at 4x slower pace because all the new difficulties. And with the current RUB/USD exchange rate and increased components price the whole thing becomes not worthwhile commercially, so I'm doing this out of pure passion.

FYI Safari doesn’t like your website and informs me it might attempt to steal information.

Great project though
