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!

We are now embarking on our THIRD YEAR of Monthular themes

Monthular is a theme to inspire your patches, and this month we explore arpeggios (or Arp 2600s if you’ve got ‘em). An arpeggio is a broken musical chord, where the notes are struck one by one rather than all together. It comes from the the Italian word “arpeggiare,” which means “to play on a harp,” so this month is also HARPril after all.

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.
