Great. Much better explanation than the manual. Chord/scale is a useful shorthand but thinking of these as "note sets" is a bit more liberating and stresses the use of Bounce to sequence them. ARPII will perhaps have 16 note sets across two octaves as well as 8 arpeggiators - please! For now Tutorial number 5 would be very welcome....
Does the midicake “know” the circle of fifths? Suppose you set de scale to Cmaj, is there a way to easily progress through all the chords that fit the scale?
No. ARP doesn't suggest chord progressions. It leaves it open for you to explore, much as a guitar or Piano would. We have had a few requests for chord progression suggestions and it is on our list to explore solutions. However, it was never part of the original design intent for ARP which was to take its chords/scale from an external source.

Cheers, John. Will keep on with the tutorials. Arp2 is a bit further off yet but collecting all your great ideas. 😊
