Stepchild is a simple VST based 32 step sequencer.
It gives you control over a bank of 12 notes. Notes can be assigned
individually, as well as midi channels. Source code.
- One sample for the
sixteen steps
- Controls for each
step (direction, octave, semitone, fine,
attack, decay, release, filt amt, pan and
volume)
- 4 Divisions (1/2,
1/4, 1/8 or 1/16)
- 4 step choices (2,
4, 8 or 16)
- Program/pattern
can be chosen on the GUI, from the host's
patch change, or via MIDI (note-on C2-B4)
- Global release and
volume
- 4 LFO's with a
4x10 matrix
- Filter (bp, br,
hp, lp and moog type)
- Distortion
- Delay with
seperate filter and distortion
- Flange
- Fully automatable
(24 parameters)
(Known problems - can be a bit glitchy when
changing patches.)
BankStep is a software emulation of hardware bank
sequencers found in the big analog synthesizers, that
produce control for the sound but not the sound itself.
Instead of analog control voltages BankStep produces
MIDI (and can make standard MIDI music files).
Otherwise, BankStep functionally emulates a big $50,000
bank of hardware sequencers and supporting modules just
as it might sit on top of a big Moog analog synthesizer
- or your soft synth, MIDI module or sound card.
The
main module in BankStep is the Bank module, which is a 3
or 4 bank knob sequencer of any number of columns up to
48. The Bank module is a "smart" module, with the
ability to set sequence start and end points, and to
automatically switch direction when the end points are
reversed.
There are no dangling patchchords in BankStep. Instead,
module inputs (the red and blue buttons) connect to
outputs by selecting them from a popup menu of all
available outputs. When an input is connected to an
output, the input button label indicates the connection.
VSTrack is the
ultimate union of sequencing and tracking. reViSiT is a
VST Instrument (VSTi) plug-in for VST-hosts (such as
sequencers) that provides a tracker interface, based on
Impulse
Tracker II, to the user.
Unlike normal VSTi's which simply take MIDI input,
reViSiT's editor window is a tracker interface, which
takes on the role of
the 'music sequencer' - synthesizing both music and
sound.
LUNA is a
light-weight and easy to use professional grade
sequencer offering VST instruments and effects support
and a 32-bit float audio engine so can handle almost all
sample rates. The basic features of midi and audio
recording and playback are also well supported and easy
to use, with multi undo and redo. The interface is also
very simple to use with the program only limited by the
4 VSTi and 8 mixer strip allowance which is how it is
differentiated from the paid version.
