Signal Flow
It’s a block based step sequencer.
There are 8 sequencer blocks which can be controlled independently(step size, speed, direction).
Block chainer is a step sequencer for triggering sequencer blocks.
There are 4 modulation units available, they are used for modulating seq params and cc outputs.And each modulation unit has 5 modulation engines.
(LFO, Prob LFO, Step LFO, Multi Point Envelope, Sample & Hold)
Block chainer trigs seq blocks in any order.
This is the core of this plugin.
Sequencer Window
The sequencer window is consist of block chainer and sequencer blocks.
Modulation Window
You can control modulation units and modulation matrix here.
There are 4 modulation units available and each one has 5 modulation engines.
Modulation Engine
- LFO : standard type LFO
- Prob LFO : probability based LFO
- Step LFO : step sequencer + LFO, you can trig different waveform per step
- MPE : multipoint envelope
- Sample&Hold : source signal generator + sample&hold
You can modulate internal sequencer parameters and control external midi parameters by these modulation units.
Please check the plugin manual for further information.

Detail
version 1
This is a block base sequencer.
There are both free and commercial versions.
Free version:
3 sequencer blocks
Full version:
8 sequencer blocks + 2 LFO units
Main Structure
There are 8 sequencer blocks which produces midi note events.
Playback chain order of seq blocks will be controlled by block chainer.
Block Chainer
Block chainer is a 16 step sequencer which controls chain order of seq blocks
Sequencer Block
Sequencer block is a step sequencer unit.
Full version have 8 seq block units.
You can make midi sequence with combining these seq blocks.
Also running direction and step size of each seq block can be set independently.
Each seq block represents a quarter note.
And step size represents divide factor.
So if you set step size 4, each step becomes 16th note.
step size 1(quater note / 1) = step length will be quater note.
step size 2(quater note / 2) = step length will be eight note.
step size 4(quater note / 4) = step length will be sixteen note.
step size 8(quater note / 8) = step length will be thirty-second note.
Relationship between Step Size and Note Length of Each Step
Block Chainer Controls Playback Order of Seq Blocks
In this case, step size of Block Chainer is 4 and running direction is forward.
step 1 of block chainer is seq block 1.
step 2 of block chainer is seq block 2.
step 3 of block chainer is seq block 3.
step 4 of block chainer is seq block 4.
So plyabck order of Seq Blocks will be 1 > 2 > 3 > 4.
You can make 8 snapshots of Block Chainer’s step value states.
v1.0(March 29, 2017)
