Free Plugin: BlueARP from OMG Instruments

BlueARP is a pure MIDI plugin, it doesn’t generate any sound by itself but transforms MIDI messages. It has to be routed to either software or hardware synth in any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software like FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper, Logic Pro, etc.

BlueARP was designed for electronic music genres (like Trance, House, etc.). It is perfect for that fast ‘trancey’ and ‘cosmic’ arpeggios, arpeggiated bass lines, gated pads; it works for step sequencing as well. Also it may have some unexpected applications like triggering drums.
