DigiKeys AUv3 Sequencer Plugin vs 7XDXFM 4OP FM Loop Maker

DigiKeys is an AUv3 compatible MIDI sequencer plugin for AUM or other AUv3 compatible host applications. DigiKeys is a pattern based sequencer which can be used to drive either external MIDI based AUv3 instruments, or the internal sample based audio engine. It can also be used as a 16 channel multi-timbral sound source accepting MIDI data on each of the 16 MIDI channels and routing to 16 internal instruments. This flexible design allows you to experiment with pattern based song construction using the DigiKeys sound engine, then map to external MIDI based synth engines once an idea needs expanding. The program was created specifically for AUM, but should function fine under any DAW of your choice (routing options permitting). The advantage of AUM is its unlimited routing flexibility, and the ability to split MIDI output in order to feed multiple AV3 sound sources DigiKeys allows you to create looped patterns which can later be chained into songs. Each pattern has 16 tracks (one for each MIDI channel) which can be up to 32 steps in length. Each track can have its own playback speed, transposition and effects routings. You can chain up to 256 of these patterns together into a song, and since each song is tied to a scale, you can use the transpose function to quickly create chord changes without needing to redesign your patterns. DigiKeys was designed to drive other MIDI compatible AUv3 plugins, but comes equiped with its own internal synth engine with over 100 custom presets. If you own the 4Pockets Chameleon sampler plugin, DigiKeys will auotmatically make those instruments available to you, so its easy to expand the library of instruments using Chameleon. The app has its own custom MIDI mixer, which controls incoming / outgoing MIDI velocity levels rather than traditional audio levels. This allows you to control relative volumes of internal as well as external MIDI instruments. It also allows DigiKeys to be used as a multi-timbral sound source with level mixing, by routing MIDI data on each of the 16 incoming ports to seperate instruments. DigiKeys features a sophisticated random pattern generator capable of taking advantage of random velocities, probability, note length, sub beats and reverse hits. It can even randomize targetted notes that comply to a chord in the song scale. The latest update introduces a live matrix performance mode that lets you mix tracks from different patterns in real time, creating scenes to aid your performance. Patterns and scenes can be triggered remotely from MIDI equipment sending simple note data on MIDI channel 16. Also recently added is the ability to route internal sound to different output busses for adding external effects in AUM. We also include 3 global effects, reverb, chorus and digital delay which allow per track routing.

(iPad Only) • Remote pattern switching. • Chamelon Instrument Compatability. • Per pattern Automation. • Comprehensive clipboard functionality. • Local and Remote MIDI Sync. • Real time and Step pattern recording. • HTTP interface for backup / restore of songs.

Welcome to 7XFM - a 4 operator FM synthesizer and 7 track sequencer with Ableton link, recording, and routing for your audio to connect to AUM or Audiobus. With most of the important synthesizer settings found in most FM synthesizers and added modulation. Modulate the operators over time with the LFO, plus dynamics for amplitude and pitch of modulators wherever you add an ACCENT Pick from a range of preset frequencies for carrier and modulators (influenced by Orla DSE/Bohm FM Expander synthesisers) Create those classic FM sounds from punchy Lately Bass to smooth 80s fm pads or crazy chaotic FM sound effects. Keep in Sync with your apps using Ableton Link or MIDI Send MIDI clock or MIDI note as separate channels. This app was influenced by the Korg Volca/Electribe FM synth sequencers as well as TX81z and Orla DSE9 FM synthesizer SEQUENCER The sequencer has 7 channels containing a sequence dedicated to a tone sound. You can create sequences using step edit or bring up the PIANO ROLL for quick step placement. You can just randomly generate steps - either random choice pitches or SELECT NOTES. or shuffle the sequence PIANO ROLL! its easy to create melodies and bass lines fast! Double click step to cycle though octaves or erase across step with finger motion. Mask keys so you can define keys and swipe across bar with finger motion to lay down steps easily. EFFECTS! Each track has echo, reverb and a low pass filter similar to add some spacial atmosphere or emulate an analogue synthesizer. COOL CREATIVE FEATURES! 2nd and 3rd voice generators with detune and transpose by semitomes for fat chorus effects or chorded notes Auto level ducking switchable input from bass metronome or any track Playback timing of notes on sequences - steps triggered either at 4th or 8th timings - a sequence can play slower and last longer equivalent to 512 steps Added a “mutate tone” option that slowly modifies the sound randomly away from original. Added “randomise tone” that completely creates a random tone from fresh. GLOBAL TRANSPOSE! All channels can be transposed simultaneously on the fly to create great layered melodies, and you can choose which ones are ignored (TR LOCK) for things like sound effects. SONG MODE is like a playlist of programs, where you can chain programs from either the current loaded program or imported saved program file. A scene can have any track muted, global transposed, reset counter at start (D.C.) "Da Capo", override step length and control the BEAT ON metronome mode. You can then arm sampling and record the chained programs and export the audio. Save your Songs and they won't be affected by changes in the original programs. EXPORT! You can easily record a perfect loop of whatever is playing and export via AudioCopy or Audioshare as well as email and IOS Folder Export your tones, sequences or whole programs to another device, friend or saved elsewhere SYNC This is compatible with Ableton Link as well as MIDI so you have options for connecting to external hardware or other apps while keeping in time AUDIO ROUTING Output the main audio to other apps such as Audiobus or AUM to allow those apps to record or process your creations EXTERNAL CONTROL Control Mute of tracks with midi keys, volume of track-channel with MIDI CC 176 for channel 1, , 177 - channel 2 etc .. MIDI note input of one track's sound available while sequencer is playing all tracks - selectable tracks controlled by all midi channels (omni) THIS DOESNT ACCEPT MULTIPLE MIDI PER SEQUENCE.
