- GAME CHANGER! BlueARP DM Mk.1 - Behringer TD-3 - JP-8080 - Access Virus TI2 - Waldorf Kyra
Well, this is a treat! I've been very honored to assist with the beta testing of a new hardware arpeggiator/sequencer called BlueARP DM created by Oleg Mikheev (AKA Greywolf).
The unit featured in this video is a preproduction unit. With it I'm controlling in real-time a Behringer TD-3 (TB-303 clone) Roland JP-8080, Waldorf Kyra and an Access Virus TI2.
I'm using a combo of samples and Roland Cloud TR-909 and TR-808 VST plugins in Ableton for percussion, and am triggering scenes in real-time along with playing all 4 synths with up to 5 independent arpeggiators at the same time with BlueARP DM. (BlueARP DM is able to control up to 8 separate timbers at once). I'm triggering these by pressing notes on my main controller keyboard. Some automation is also handled by clips in Ableton so that I have enough hands to do other things.
In my opinion, BlueARP DM is truly a huge step up for live performances and multiple synthesizers.

This is super cool, Marshal! I really appreciate your help with beta testing, it is also exciting for me to see how it integrates into your workflow and synth setup. Your video recording setup is awesome as well.
Is my pleasure Oleg, BlueARP DM works wonderfully! It's been the missig element in my live setup! I am very honored to be helping test it out and offer feedback! Thank you very much!
really like your plug in ... didn't know about the hardware ... great stuff! and great video btw. cheers!
Video was recorded in a single take played live and recorded with multiple cams and jump cuts ✂️ all over. Added B roll of the other synths that obviously can't fit on my desk.
Such awesome performance!!! And wow, hardware BlueARP!
Many thanks! BlueARP DM is pretty amazing!
This was wicked! Such high energy and it all sounded so warm and phat! JP8080 is something you don't hear of much anymore, so it was nice to see you using it!
Many thanks Andrew! Yeah, I picked up that 8080 a few months ago, this was the first time I've used it. Thing is awesome and let's me save some space vs my JP-8000. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thats awesome Marshal🙌🙌🙌😎🎶 now you are cooking live!!!! Yeahhhh!!!!
Thanks Inky! Hope to write and perform a full set list and try a full hour!
@@MarshalArnold i know its wrong ..but might get td 303...ohhh rthe dark side is strong...but setliously you got trance tech nailed...but imho..from...well...i.ho..can we marry this with like...as a dancer
.way back when..with ..like best of this n maybe dnb drum.loopsish..no no no.bass just..mmm ya STAR ya got this..drums thou😉😉😉💗🙌🍻
@@MarshalArnold oh btw...if you want any drums..be honoured to try!!
ES HERMOSOOO!! , GRACIAS POR LA DEMOSTRACION!! 😲💖💖💖🤘
Outstanding! I want one....
That's absolutely awesome!
Hey hey Dark Side! Many thanks 😊 this was super fun to make, and perform with in real-time! Quite a revelation indeed!
@@MarshalArnold Yup! Great jam and that BlueARP in flesh & blood is stunning!
Love the track and that BlueARP is awesome. :)
Thanks Cryss!
Nice stuff Marshal !
Thanks Ranzee!
@@MarshalArnold so - can we get you on the show to talk about this bad boy?
Oh yeah, I'd love to! Shoot me an email and we'll get the details hammered 🔨 out. You can see my email address in the About section of my youtube channel, or just msg me on FB.
So smooth and well blended while having integrated dynamic. A cool live piece or art! 👍👏
Tried my best lol 😆
@@MarshalArnold it shows 😊
Great track, this is the first time I’ve heard of the BlueArp but it’s on my radar now!!
Awesome! Yeah, BlueARP DM is unique as far as I know. But, originally it was released as a VST. You can actually get that now, and its free. Cool thing is the hardware version is basically 8 instances of the VST! So learning the plugin and you'll know your war around the hardware plus patten files are interchangeable.
Great content. As usual 👍
Many thanks Vee Jay!!
This track screams! You sure found the right combination of gear.
Thanks Zenith! Like BB&J but with synths 😆
Very clever use than this combination of the BlueArp DM with the TD-3.
My NLDR just arrived. This will have to me my next piece of gear!
Ooh nice AskCase! NLDR looks coool!
@@MarshalArnold I know about NDLR. As I understood it, it has a bit different philosophy than BlueARP DM (more a 'happy accident' machine, better suited for ambient and downtempo, while bluearp is more a 'deliberate pattern programming' machine). Maybe Marshal will get NDLR and make a comparison some day.
@@graywolf2004ru totally agree, NLDR is quite different, BlueARP I feel provides much better direct control. I looked into NLDR over the last few days, it's not really something I'd go for normally. It really does seem to be a happy accident type of machine while BlueARP is more purpose built and an awesome live performance tool. Not that NLDR is a bad device, just more that BlueARP appeals much more to me and what I want to be able to do.
Very cool!
Many thanks! 😃
Very cool unit! Would love a more in-depth review to understand how exactly it works.
I'm definitely hearing the sizzle on those pads! (JP8080?)
Totally, firmware is still in development, but once it's ready I'll do a deeper dive into the UI. But I'll do a breakdown for this tune and explain whats going on in the next video. Litteraly huge game changer for my live aspirations!
JP-8080 is def the supersaw pad throughout, sizzle fizzle! The stabby 1/4 note supersaw sound halfway through is the Virus, Kyra is on Bass, TD-3 well that's doing the standard 303 style thing of course. Sweeps and synth effects are the other timbers in the Virus. Percussion is Kick 2 Roland Cloud TR-909/808 and some other one-shot samples I own.
Yes I see your point on the Kyra Bass! I had one for a short time but didn't keep it. Thought it was a bit too expensive compared to some other choices.
Yeah, but no other synth sounds sooo clean. It literally is the best "sounding" synth I own. Sure, other FPGA based synths out there, but none that are 8 part multitimbrality and 128 voices. Really, it's like 8 Novation Peak synths, minus the analog filter...but more voices. 1 USB cable and you get all that right into the DAW with lossless quality. It has amazing potential, but it does require some digging in a bit of a frustrating UI, but still better than any interface Yamaha has ever made lol. I also really like that the whole thing was deved by 1 guy in his spare time. Pretty cool if you ask me, and Kyra sounds awesome 😎
@@MarshalArnold Yes I agree 100% its got a very unique sound to it too. Its on my radar to get once again. I really liked some of the sounds I got from it.
I couldn't find anything to sit in the mix of my track SOLAR FLEX ua-cam.com/video/Zm7qpkVqs_Q/v-deo.html
So I tried the Kyra and it fit perfect at the very end of the track. I bet you can pick it out as you seem to really know this synth!
@@PureAmbientDrone ah, very nice tune! Many thanks for sharing! Is it the riser at the end that's from Kyra? Am not sure, some of the pad/string type sounds have some Kyra feel as well, but obviously not. See you got a Wave 2! I'm def jealous lol I have the OG Wave, but want a Wave 2 also, big updates to that synth with the 2, congrats!
@@MarshalArnold The RISER is REV 2! Kyra is the the kinda pulse wave at the very end. I can't really describe it ha ha. Yeah the WAVE 2 is super nice! My eyes are on the Poly Brute now. That's why I was thinking for the Kyra Price we are getting close to real analog goodies. Not that I am a purest or anything but you know. LOL
Lol, groovy I'll give it another listen and see if I can make it out. I think the PolyBrute is cool, but 6 voices? IDK, and I really wish that touche type controller was not where the pitch/mod wheels should go lol. But sounds awesome and I'm sure it's built like a tank like my MatrixBrute is! I had my eyes on a Moog Voyager after snagging the Korg ARP 2600 FS, but then Dave had to go and reissue the Prophet 5/10 lol between those 2 synths it'll be a few months before I can pick up that Voyager... But watch, Sequential will drop an OBx reissue next and I'll be out another 4k lol good problem to have though!
Sandstorm rimshots! Cool track! I never had the 8080. Compared to JP-8000, you get 10 voices, unison & vocoder? And the LFO2 is not tied to the mod / pitch bend stick?
Many thanks Janne! Yeah more voices and a vocoder on the 8080 vs the 8000. Not sure about LFO2, but since there's no pitch/mod stick on the 8080 that would make sense. This was the 1st time I've used it in a full tune since purchased it in 2019. I like it a lot, and it works extremely well with the JP-80X0 editor from Mystery Island!
Lol also, I didn't even realize it but yeah the 808 wood block sound is essentially the same from Sandstorm! Ha, so crazy, I was like yeah that works 🤣
Of course, it's the wood block, not rimshot. Once again, a very nice track and great to see also such complex setups done live! The BlueARP looks well-suited for it. You need to work on your live set, not many people do this kind of stuff "really" live and not just as a DJ / laptop gig (Kebu has some trance tunes in his repertoire) :)
Thats my plan! This BlueARP in hardware form fills that roll I needed to fully do a live set the way I'd want to. Kebu has been a big inspiration, along with Giuseppe Ottaviani. He's done some live sets with a rig that would fit in a suitcase lol.

Loved it! Great track - cool sounds! Just a quick question - When you changed chords the TD3 changed it's pitch too. Was this programmed on the TD3 or will it transpose patterns from a MIDI note?
Thanks Andrew! Good question, in this video the TD-3 is being sequenced by BlueARP. The TD-3's sequencer is not running at all. I'm not sure if the TD-3 will respond to real-time transpose through an external controller. I actually recently received the TD-3 and this was the 1st thing I've done with it. I will test this out, but given BlueARP is much easier to program and easy to chain patterns I would prefer to use it vs the TD-3's sequencer or really any synth's built in sequencer.
@@MarshalArnold Thanks for the quick answer, Marshal! Hadn't heard of the BlueArp before this video but I will certainly check it out. Take care, fellah!
This song ebbs and flows so nicely. Is it the musician or the BlueARP?
Marshal and the BlueArp DM coalesced into one being for this performance so... it's hard to tell really.
Thanks dos gos! Been practicing for a week solid, but def a combo of BlueARP extending my abilities helping me look good 😆
I've never managed to figure out how to get my TD-3 to receive midi notes. Anyone have an explanation how to set it up? Thanks
Can the k1 to k5 notes be assigned to different channels? K1 to ch #1, k2 to ch#2 ... k5 to channel #5. Then you could send them to different voices on a multitimbral synth.
This currently is not possible, but the firmware is still a work in progress and I've had discussions with the developer about being able to assign different MIDI channels per step. Currently you can assign a MIDI channel per instance of BlueARP (up to 8 instances) only, but I hope this will be expanded to include per step assignment capabilities.
@@MarshalArnold Right, I have this in my to-do list. The idea is to be able to switch GATE STEP lane to CHANNEL mode, so it will send different steps to different channels. This will sacrifice GATE STEP, but it as not a big miss imho (I can't add a new lane gue to GUI and memory restrictions).
Best jam ever
Ima make a sweet vid like this I got all the same stuff too
@@ravemaster2000 nice, yeah if you do make a vid and let me know so I can watch! These are a great combo of synths 👍
@@MarshalArnold hey cool i was looking for a arp vst today and i see ur one of the developers for bluearp great work, how do i press 3 keys and get the arp of the 3 notes? definitely a usefull feature to add if it dosent do the basic arp functions of the jp8080 ☺
also the split keyboard feature of the jp8080 is usefull too can make it so half the keyboard is on 2 midi channels
@@MarshalArnold heres the new vid ua-cam.com/video/5L2GRjvgpXw/v-deo.html
You got the TI2 ? Did you sell one but got it back.
This is the second TI2 I've owned, I used to have the keyboard version some years ago, sold it but snagged the rack version.
