Free VST2 / VST3 Mono Sequencer Synth plugin for Windows by OVM PLUGIN
A / SEQUENCER
LEFT :
– Mute : Set step silent when unchecked
– Note : Set note pitch (-48 to 48 semitone range)
– Gate : Modify Note length (Increase or decrease value)
– Slide : Tied notes (see Right panel)
RIGHT :
MAIN
– Div : number of division per beat (1 = quarter note, 2 = 1/8th note...)
– Step : from 1 to 16 step loop
– Dir : Forward / Backward / Pendulum playback direction, relative to step loop
– Swing : Shuffle feel for division 2 and 4 (1/8th and 1/16th)
– Slide : Long = TB303 like (tied notes), Short = individual step Glide
– Harmo : Harmonize sequence in Major or Minor scale with each diatonic note
corresponding to its own mode, and non-diatonic notes harmonized with diminished
intervals. Minor scale borrow the 5th mode of harmonic minor scale (Dominant phrygian).
Interval change are not displayed
– Key : Harmonizer key (see Record)
– Shift : Move pitch step by step on the right
– Auto : Shift on each new note
– REC : Record sequence with a Midi Keyboard. Semitone 0 corresponds to selected Key
within the 4th octave (A4 to Ab4)
– Reset all sequencer parameters at once to default value
RANDOM
– Mute : Random mute probability (long slide may yield unpredictable results)
– Length : Random gate value probability
– Oct : Random octave probability (-1 octave or +1 octave). Each one may be deactivated
(- / + buttons)
– Scale : Scale choice for randomizer (1st step is always 0, randomizer create a random pitch
sequence in the given scale on other step)
– Trigger : Trigger a new sequence
– Auto : Trigger on each new note
MODE
– Pattern or Song mode : Select one of the two mode
*PATTERN*
– Choice : Select one of the 8 pattern to program
– Copy / Paste : Copy and paste between pattern for fast programmation
*SONG*
– Pattern length = Set 1 or 2 bars (depends on step length, regardless of direction)
– Chain from 2 to 8 different pattern (click on the small numbers to set the loop)
– Select : Click on each box to select one of the 8 pattern to be played
– Root : Select the root note for each pattern in the song loop (-12 to 12 semitone range)
B / OSCILLATORS
LEFT :
– Waveform : Two oscillators (A / B) waveform list
– Vol / Semi / On : Volume, Semitone range and On/Off for each (A / B)
– Mod : Modifier for each waveform : Waveshaper for Sine, Quantizer for Triangle and Ramp,
PWM for Square and Pulse, Detune for SuperSaw (none for Noise).
– Fat or Stereo : Stereo spread for each oscillator
– Fine : Unison Fine detuning
– Sync : Fixed rate LFO detunes slave osc B synced by master osc A (not for SuperSaw B)
– Zap : Short pitch effect
– FM : Osc A modulator, Osc B carrier (not for Super Saw)
RIGHT :
– Filter type : Select one of the filter in the list
– Cutoff : Filter cutoff frequency
– Reso : Filter resonance
– Atk / Dec / EG : Filter envelope Attack / Decay / Amount (EG = Envelope Generator)
– LFO / Rate : Filter LFO amount and rate (rate also applies to Sub filter, not the amount)
– Gate / Master : Oscillators note length and global volume (osc + sub)
C / SUB
– On / Off button
– Gate / Level / Waveform / Octave / Fine : Note length / Volume / Saw or Pulse /
Osc B -1 octave (unchecked) / Unison fine detuning
– Track : Follow or not Pitch and Mute sequence
– Filter controls : Cutoff / Resonance / Envelope Decay + Amount (EG) / LFO amount
MIDDLE : Preset browser / Reset all synth parameters at once (arrow right)
