Free Plugin of the Week – BlueARP
For this week’s plugin, we have BlueARP from the developer at OMG Instruments while the interface appears complex, it is quite simple for beginners to grasp with everything listed only on one page. The main thing to be noted is that this free VST is a MIDI plugin so users must route midi information to the plugin from any synth of your choice. This however is far from a limitation because this allows for a lot more control over the Arpeggiated sound as opposed to the VSTS with in-built Arps.
