Popsicle FX vs PolyBud Polyrhythmic Sequencer

Popsicle is a Multi Effects Processor built around 2 independent stereo effects engines each having access to a total of 24 different effect algorithms. Effect engines can be used in series or parallel configuration or split between stereo channels where one is affecting the left channel while the other one is affecting the right channel respectively. Popsicle features a powerful XY Pad capable of controlling one or more fx parameters per axis. XY motion can be recorded and played back in sync with the host tempo allowing for highly dynamic effects. In addition, a advanced mode unlocks a fully featured mod-matrix with an additional LFO and Envelope Follower allowing for even more dynamic effect combinations and performances. Included Effects: - Lowpass Filter - Highpass Filter - Bandpass Filter - Morphing Filter - Formant Filter - Comb Filter - Echo - BPM Delay - Short Delay - Reverse Delay - Stutter - Chorus - Flanger - Phaser - Tremolo - Auto Pan - Vibrato - Bitcrush - Distortion - Fuzz - Pitch Shift - Plate Verb - Hall Verb - Mod Verb Supports: - Standalone - AUv3

PolyBud is a multitrack polyrhythmic AUv3 MIDI sequencer. You can add multiple note or MIDI CC tracks to the each pattern. The note tracks has the note, velocity, gate, ratchet, probability and randomisation modes. You can set different step lengths to the each mode which would introduce polyrhythmic variations immediately. Another great feature is the each track can run in a different rate which is great for creating unique polyrhythmic sequences. Also, you can assign different MIDI channels to the each track so that you can control multiple synths within a single PolyBud pattern. The MIDI CC tracks is great for modulating the synth parameters. You can introduce polyrhythmic modulations by setting the different step lengths and different rates to your MIDI CC tracks. Also, you can set a ramp value for smoothing up the CC value changes per step. If you set the ramp value to 0% then you can have the classic sample and hold modulation. PolyBud is a MIDI app and it don't produce any sound of its own. You need to route PolyBud's MIDI out to your audio apps in order to run PolyBud. For the AUv3 plugin, you need an AUv3 host app such as AUM, Cubase, NanoStudio, ZenBeats, BeatMaker, apeMatrix etc.
