Welcome to the Earth Modular Society Monthular challenge. This is a monthly optional patch prompt to inspire your creative process. To participate, stream on EMS and tag @monthular-stream on the #monthular channel of our Discord before or after you stream. Or, just do the challenges on your own for some patch inspiration!

This is the beginning of the FOURTH YEAR of Monthular patch themes. It all started in ARPril, 2022, and ARPril has remained a yearly theme in honor of that (and also because arpeggiating is fun). EMS Monthular is a theme to inspire your patches, and this time we explore arpeggios. An arpeggio is a broken musical chord, where the notes are struck one by one rather than all together.

Below is a playlist of this month’s Monthular streams. Select the playlist menu (upper right in the video window), or “Watch on YouTube” (lower left) for playlist contents.
