In this 4-minute ambient drone jam, I explore the creative potential of the Midicake ARP — a powerful and expressive MIDI sequencer designed for deep musical exploration. The ARP takes center stage in this performance, controlling my faithful Roland S-1 and the Behringer JT-4000 Micro, with the latter running through a Korg Monotron Delay for added grit and texture.

The result is a lush, evolving soundscape full of hypnotic arpeggios and sparse notes, deep drones and lo-fi echoes. Perfect for fans of ambient music, generative jams, and minimalist setups.

If you're looking for the best MIDI sequencer for ambient music, this jam shows how easily the Midicake ARP can sculpt beautiful, generative soundscapes. Whether you're into modular gear, compact synths, or live ambient sets, this video gives a taste of what this setup can do.
