ARK is a music production computer where algorithms, chance, and signals converge in a single creative workspace.
A 16-track canvas where you can place CV generators, drum voices, synth voices, and different types of samplers, including drum players, slicers, and granular samplers.
At its core is a powerful composition system built around scales, chords, and harmonic relationships. Build progressions, generate melodies, and develop musical ideas that stay connected to the harmonic context of your track.
Create evolving chord progressions. Generate melodies that follow them. Introduce chance, variation, and algorithms without losing the musical structure underneath. Be prepared to rethink your system.
