ARPIE Central
ARPIE is a MIDI Arpeggiator. Typically you connect it between a MIDI keyboard controller and a synthesizer and it converts the chords you play on the keyboard into rapid runs of notes (arpeggios) which are played on the synth. However as you’ll see there is a lot more to it than that: ARPIE - and arpeggiators in general - are great composing and performance tools.

ARPIE is an open-source project, based on the popular Arduino platform and is designed to be customisable, hackable and extendable. I hope you like it!
