Euclidean Sequencer is an alternative incarnation of the classic step sequencer that has become very popular in the modular realm. It is based on Euclidean rhythms developed by computer scientist Godfried Toussaint in 2004. Euclidean rhythms have their roots in Greek mathematician Euclid’s algorithm, which involves using the greatest common divisor of two numbers to place hits in a sequence as evenly as possible across a set timing divisions. In practice this is actually simpler than you might think, and Euclidean Sequencer is a great way to auto generate complex musical sequences with no prior knowledge of how it actually works. Euclidean Sequencer is an AUv3 plugin that can be loaded inside any popular host application that has flexible MIDI routing. You can define up to 4 Euclidean rhythm parts, each part is referred to as a band. The bands are labelled A-D and colour coded RED, ORANGE, GREEN and CYAN. Together these 4 bands create a pattern, and you can create up to 16 seperate patterns per song patch. Since each band can specify its own note sequence and output MIDI channel, you can create some quite sophisticated rythms patterns, driving 4 seperate instruments at once. Even better you can seamlessly switch patterns to create even longer evolving sequences. Patterns follow a specified key, scale, or defined chord. You can even use MIDI input to automatically make note sequences conform to the currently playing chords. Please note: This is an AUv3 plugin instended to be used inside your favourite host DAW such as AUM, Cubasis, Loopy Pro etc. It will work with any app that has flexible MIDI routing. This app is not compatible with GarageBand as it doesn't support MIDI plugins. Features 4 Band Sequencer 16 Patterns per patch. Up to 64 events per band. Seamless pattern transitions. Output Port and Channel control. Per Band and Global speeds. Randomize function with varying complexity. Supports note Probability. Reverse and PingPong modes. MIDI Chord recognition. Latch mode. 4 Band Velocity Mixer Controller support. Gate Mode. AUv3 Compatible.

To celebrate international joke day 2023, we decided to take a big step with our first synthesizer plugin; SUBscription. While based on a tongue-in-cheek pun about the current state and direction of the music tech industry, we actually ended up with a surprisingly excellent plugin that takes user-generated phrases (subscription codes) and converts them into unique waveshapes in a monophonic sub-synth. - Create powerful, characterful bass sounds - Unique and exceptionally high IQ text synthesis technique ^TM - Reasonable subscription models - Unequivocally superior, requires no review. SUBscription Upon entering a subscription code into our brand new text-to-synthesis engine, you are entering a world of sonic enrichment and fame, but you may have to make a deal with the devil. Text Synthesis Create characterful wave shapes using our experimental new text-to-synthesis technique. We have prepared every possible character combination (subscription code) because you’re weak and predictable. Drive & Dirt Boost the ever loving **** out of the synth with some crispy drive. Use the Dirt knob’s Rate modulation to thicken and filth up your tracks with noisy textures. Filter Carve your frequencies out with the 12dB/oct low-pass ladder filter. Much like the filter, we too will be filtering out any bug reports, requests or errors - our time is far more important. Modulation Add movement to your sounds with 2 envelopes, 2 LFO’s & 4 expression controls which are assignable to nearly every parameter. Unlike the fluid nature of modulation, we stand firm with our decisions - you just wouldn’t get it. Product Aftercare If you need support via email you’ll have to deal with harshly worded, incredibly frustrated developers and please note that all critical feedback of any nature will be met with serious scolding. SUBscription is designed as an AUv3 plugin, meaning it works within iOS and iPadOS hosts such as Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis 3, AUM and Beatmaker 3. SUBscription also works as a standalone instrument.
