StepPolyArp: A Unique Step Sequencer for Creative Music Composition
StepPolyArp by Laurent Colson offers a fresh approach to polyphonic arpeggiation, allowing musicians to craft intricate patterns and explore new musical landscapes with ease.
"StepPolyArp" is a real-time polyphonic and polyrhythmic MIDI step arpeggiator and step sequencer that offers versatile musical functionalities. This application, available as a standalone program or an AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in, seamlessly transitions between step arpeggiator and step sequencer modes, providing users with dynamic options for musical expression.
The software allows for the creation of intricate melodic structures either through automatic generation from played notes or chords or by independent playback without MIDI input. With the capacity to save an extensive number of presets locally and synchronize them via iCloud, users can efficiently manage their musical creations.
Each preset is equipped with a robust set of features, including 16 patterns, 5 customizable polyrhythmic step controllers, and a 32-step event matrix. These elements collectively drive the arpeggiator engine, offering users a comprehensive platform for musical exploration.
StepPolyArp supports internal and external MIDI connections for both input and output, as well as features such as Ableton Link sync and MIDI clock source sync. Additionally, an internal sound bank is integrated into the application, enhancing sound manipulation capabilities.
As an AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in, StepPolyArp enables the use of multiple instances within a compatible host application. To run the plug-in effectively, users need a host that supports the Audio Unit v3 (AUv3) MIDI effect format.
This versatile tool finds compatibility with prominent hosts such as Logic Pro, Cubasis, Beatmaker, AUM, Audiobus, NanoStudio, Auria Pro, and apeMatrix. By offering valuable features like automatic chaining patterns, resizable keyboard, multitasking capabilities, sample-accurate timing, and various controller options for MIDI setup customization,MIDI enthusiasts can explore a wide range of creative possibilities.
