Zoom ARQ Aero RhythmTrak
ARQ is a drum machine, sequencer, synthesizer, looper, and MIDI controller with a built-in accelerometer. Even more, ARQ is freedom. With its wireless Bluetooth Ring Controller, you can escape the booth, move the music, and get in front of the crowd
- The ARQ consists of two powerful components-the
Base Station (AR-96) and the detachable
Ring Controller (AR-96c).
The Base Station
The ARQ Base Station houses 468 drum/instrument
sounds ("one-shot" sampled waveform sounds),
70 types of synthesizer sounds, and dozens of digital
effects. Dual 1/4" line-level audio inputs enable phrase
recording and looping. There are also stereo 1/4"
line-level outputs, as well as a dedicated 1/4" headphone
jack with its own volume control. A USB port allows
connection to your computer, and an SD card slot lets you
save patterns and loops, import prerecorded audio, and
update firmware.
The Ring Controller
The detachable Ring Controller communicates with the
Base Station, as well as DAWs, via wireless Bluetooth.
It offers 96 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads for
clip launching and playing drum sounds, instrument
sounds, and sequences. Phrases and sounds can be
played chromatically, or you can choose from dozens
of preset scales in any key. Its unique Grip Detection
automatically prevents accidental triggering of the
pads under your hand. There are dedicated buttons
at the top and bottom of the Ring for REC/PLAY/STOP,
as well as Filter/Delay/Reverb/MASTER FX on/off.
An onboard 3-axis accelerometer generates MIDI
control messages to alter sounds and effects in real
Its internal Lithium-Ion battery automatically
charges when the Ring is placed on the Base Station.
