Chart your way through melodic wilderness. Create a custom chain of compounding MIDI sequencers and modules, or connect to other Aqeel Aadam Sound products for extended control. Waymaker is a collection of sequencers and modules that provides a variety of innovative ways to craft melodies and spark inspiration. Waymaker can be used in two different modes: * MIDI mode: Build a custom chain of modules to generate melodies, transpose progressions, create ever-changing sequences, and so much more. * AAS mode: Use Waymaker to control other Aqeel Aadam Sound products, such as Weeping Wall and Ridgewalk. Design everything from simple looping delays to dense generative atmospheres. Waymaker offers 15 sequencers and sequencing utilities: * Step: A simple step sequencer of variable length * Morph: A morphing step sequencer which can automatically shift pitches on a defined schedule * Weight: A random sequencer with a set of pitches and a chance that each will occur * Sum: A compounding sequencer in which pitches flip on and off asynchronously and add up to a single output * Brownian: A random melody based on Brownian motion, in which each step has a chance to ascend or descend from the previous pitch * Arpeggiator: Turn chords into custom arpeggios. * Shift: A utility for repitching the loopers of Weeping Wall and Ridgewalk independently * MIDI: A utility for passing MIDI notes from Waymaker to Weeping Wall or Ridgewalk, allowing for their loopers to be repitched by the keyboard or with another sequencer * Beat: A pitchless sequencer for creating custom rhythms to clock or reset other sequencers or rearrange the timing of incoming MIDI notes * Probability: A utility for introducing random skips and unpredictability * Chord: A utility for adding harmonies to each incoming note * Pitch: Modify the pitch of notes performatively. * Velocity: Animate sequences with random or algorithmic options. * Timing: Add swing or humanizing. * Control: Generate CC or PC messages. * Channel: A utility for distributing notes to a variety of MIDI channels, on a regular, random, or cascading basis In MIDI mode, each sequencer can be used to generate new MIDI notes, transpose the pitch of incoming MIDI notes, or trigger new sequences based on incoming notes. Waymaker can be used as a standalone MIDI sequencer or as a MIDI effect for modifying the output of your favorite sequencers. In AAS mode, Waymaker can use any of the sequencers to change the pitch of each channel in products like Weeping Wall, Ridgewalk, or Coastline independently. In addition, Waymaker can provide additional control to these products—such as pitch glide and independent reversal of loopers—that is not available normally. Together, you can craft a totally custom audio effect, whether you want a unique looper, granulator, delay, or reverb. Waymaker can also connect directly to Sightlines for pitch sequencing without MIDI routing. Waymaker has full preset control and can manage presets for other Aqeel Aadam Sound devices in AAS mode. Please note that there is a minimum version requirement for Waymaker to be used with other Aqeel Aadam Sound products. Weeping Wall: v1.5.0, Ridgewalk: v.1.1.0. The version number can be found in the product’s settings menu.
