• Here is a list of Best Free MIDI Sequencer Software For Windows. These freeware let you create your own musical compositions and save them as MIDI files. Musical Instrument Digital Interface file contains the sequenced MIDI data. You can create single track or multiple tracks MIDI files using these.
  • You need a step sequencer! Sometimes you want a full-featured sequencing tool and your host doesn’t have one (or it doesn’t do what you want). HY-SEQ16 is a terrific, versatile option. I could talk about the whole feature set but: randomize. Probability controls. There you have it. Okay, also, preset management, separate randomization per.
  • The DM-307 features your standard 16 step-sequencer with a massive feature: you’re able to program an additional eight bars of sixteen steps, effectively making the DM-307 a 128 step-sequencer. 8) FXpansion BFD 3 Virtual Drumkit.

Audio Vitamins have today announced that they give up the development of its creative random powered MIDI step sequencer plugin Stochas. Instead of new updates, the developer decided to releases the plugin (initial $50) as an open-source project and thus it becomes a free plugin for PC & Mac. It’s sad to hear that they stop it but also good that they do not let the plugin die. Better an open-source project with big support by the community than a complete disappearance.

/free-whistle-vst.html. Stochas is a MIDI step sequencer plugin that features a big amount of randomization goodies that makes every sequences more lively and exciting. Almost everything can be randomized and not only the whole piece but also only in a certain area of the sequence. For example, you can random specific notes in a sequence, random the note start times, velocity, length, and more.

Step Machine is midi loop sequencer, in the style of a classic analog step sequencer. To use it your host must support midi output from vst plugins. As the host plays, you will see the sequencer run through its loop. Pitch, octave, gate, slide and velocity can all be controlled for each step. Along with this there are two assignable midi CC.

Stochas allows you to create up to four layers /up to eight patterns with different time signatures, playback speed, and number of steps per layer. Here is the official statement of Audio Vitamins:

The original idea sprang from a JSFX plugin (Reaper plugin) created by Andrew called Stochasticizer which allowed semi-random sequencing of melodic and drum lines. Andrew was contacted by Dave who suggested creating a plugin that would work on any DAW. The two worked together to design the product which was released a few months later.

Due to lack of time to devote to marketing a commercial product, in 2020, it was decided to release the software as open-source in the hope that it would be useful to music producers around the world.

Features

  • Cross platform MIDI sequencer surfaced as a VST/AU/etc. plugin
  • Allows random selection of designated notes in a sequence (random or semi-random melodic lines)
  • Allows random triggering of notes (more dynamic and varied drum patterns)
  • Adjust randomness of note start times for more humanized playback
  • Adjust randomness of note velocity and length
  • Fully MIDI-programmable interface for live performance. Mute/unmute layers, change patterns, time signature, etc. on the fly via MIDI.
  • Chain mode allows procedural programming (eg “if this note plays/doesn’t play then always/never play this other note”)
  • Adjust note start time to move sequence “off the grid”, as well as note length.
  • Record incoming midi to grid
  • Use Chord mode to quickly add chords to the sequence
  • Select from preset scales, or customize notes in grid along with note names. Save/load note names from file
  • Add swing or groove. Import groove from MIDI files
  • Create up to four layers with differing time signature, playback speed and/or number of steps per layer
  • Create up to eight patterns
