Stepattern
is a pattern-based step sequencer synthesizer to create
polyphonic rhythmic and melodic sequences with a wide sort
of textures, atmospheres, acid bass lines, percussive hits, experimental
rhythms and liquid effects.
Available as an instrument plugin in VST and VST3 64 bit versions for Windows, as well
as in Audio Unit for
macOS.
Features
Step On/Off
button toggle. Activate or deactivate the step with
LED indicator lights per step to display the active
beat.
Time Division.
Allows to set the tempo by switching between six factor
/ rhythmic values applied to clock source and valid for
the sequence.
Pitch
sliders. Pitch shifting allows to raise or lower the
original pitch of each step individually.
Step Loop.
Sequence length is selectable between four, six or eight
looped steps.
Waveform Type.
Modulates the signal by changing different wave shapes:
sine, saw, ramp, triangle and pulse plus white or pink
noise.
Waveform
Shaper. Flexible spline-based graph that changes the
output signal by applying a shaping function to the
input signal. Contains stereo modulators for left and right
channels that can be used as a soft clipper, waveform
modifier or subtle distortion unit, which maps input to
output values depending on a transfer function drawn by
dragging the control points via mouse.
Gate.
Modulates the release time of the envelope. Turn it
clockwise to increase the signal or counterclockwise to
decrease it.
Filter Type.
Switches the filter between low-pass, high-pass,
band-pass or band-rejection filter types, offering a
simple and effective tone control to shape and color the
sound.
Filter
Strength. Makes subtle changes to the filter
character:
• Stage 1: Tone is slightly attenuated. Provides a warmness tone.
• Stage 2: Tone is slightly amplified. Something brighter in
character.
Filter
Resonance. Emphasizes the harmonics around the
cutoff frequency by changing the basic waveform and
therefore the timbre of the sound. Turning clockwise
will make the filter sound more pronounced, sharpening
and ringing.
Delay Time.
Controls the delay time. Time can be entered by typing
in the desired amount in the text box of each left or
right channel in milliseconds or by turning the knob
clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease
the time.
Delay
Feedback. Regeneration of delay. By increasing the
amount of signal sent back through (or fed back, or
regenerated) the number of repeats is increased. Turn
the knob clockwise to increase the rate or
counterclockwise to decrease the regeneration. Also
feedback can be entered by typing in the desired amount
in the text box of each left or right channel.
Ambience
Spread. Stereo reverb that brings a sense of spatial
depth and width to sound, from small to huge sounding
spaces.
MIDI
Automation. Implementation of MIDI Continuous
Controller parameters for use with external hardware
control via DAW.
Spatial
Auralization. Brings a stereophonic sound panning to
increase the audible perspective.
Hint Property.
Tooltip when the mouse is over a control.
Preset
Manager. Built-in browser to load and save presets
and banks, enabling to export to *.fxp (VST2 Preset),
*.fxb (VST2 Bank), *.vstpreset (VST3 Preset), *.aupreset
(Audio Unit Preset) plus two generic formats (plain
text): the *.xmlpreset (XML Preset) and the *.xmlbank
(XML Bank), providing cross-platform presets/banks. This
allows to control over the loading and saving of presets
from disk as well as sharing presets between different
plugin formats using the generic *.xmlpreset (XML
Preset) and the *.xmlbank (XML Bank).
Preset Name
Display. A text box to display the active preset
name.
32 built-in
presets as a starting point. Ability to create
customized ones with a flexible control options for
rhythm creation.
