PolyBud Polyrhythmic Sequencer vs ChaosArp

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.

Introducing ChaosArp, the next-level MIDI arpeggiator/step sequencer designed to transform your musical ideas into intricate, dynamic patterns with a unique twist. ChaosArp is not just any arpeggiator; it's a powerhouse tool that uses the same advanced algorithms as LoAdKer to modulate pitch, rhythm, velocity, and duration, creating evolving, complex but high musical patterns that breathe life into your music. Dive into the heart of your creativity with ChaosArp's innovative ‘rhythm event’ feature, which allows you to explore a variety of rhythmic modifications. From repeaters to stretchers and rests for extra space and emphasis—ChaosArp has it all. Each one of these rhythm events can be assigned to any of the 6 available slots, offering limitless possibilities. Fine-tune your sonic exploration with the innovative ‘variance’ control - which goes one step beyond the simple ‘probability’ control that most arpeggiators have. Adjusting this setting for either pitch or rhythm (or both) will vary the character of the generated sequences, from fairly minimalistic to completely chaotic, thus opening up a world of endless variations. Elevate your music production today with ChaosArp and unleash patterns that inspire! Features: - Two modes: arpeggiator and stepper - 1-16 steps - Scale quantizer, never miss a note again! - Variable rate, from 1/128 to 4 beats - 3 arpeggiator modes (up, down, up/down) - 3 stepper modes (forward, backward, ping-pong) - 1 to 4 octaves range - Latch mode - Pitch randomizer with probability and variance control and random octave - Rhythm event selector with probability and variance control - 6 assignable rhythm event slots - 13 rhythm event algorithms, including repeaters, stretchers, and rests - Repeat, stretch, and repeat rest probability controls for further customization of the rhythm event algorithms - Randomizable velocity and duration with variable range - 4 performance buttons that temporarily override the probabilities of pitch, rhythm, velocity, and duration - Automatable parameters
