Ted Fransson has released STATES MIDI, available for $7.99.
STATES is a four-playhead MIDI sequencer that lets you work with notes, rhythm and time without having to program every event individually.
Each playhead can have its own rate, note selection, phase, flow, probability, harmony, register and dynamics, while sharing a common root, scale and transport.
The four playheads can work independently or interact with one another, creating anything from simple repeating patterns to more complex musical structures that change over time.
NOTE FILTER determines which notes each playhead can use, while ROTATE changes where it begins within that selection.
PHASE changes when notes occur within a rhythmic cycle. Select multiple phase positions and use DIR or – to control the direction of movement between them.
FLOW works over longer phrases of up to four bars, introducing changes that unfold beyond a single measure.
HARMONY connects the playheads, allowing their note choices to influence one another.
Keyboard Mode lets you change the available notes from an external MIDI keyboard while the sequencer is running.
Most controls can be automated from your AUv3 host, allowing changes in rate, probability, level, phase, flow, note selection and other parameters to become part of the composition.
STATES can be used with a single instrument or up to four separate instruments, with MIDI outputs 1-4 allowing you to route and combine the playheads however you like.
STATES does not produce sound on its own. Load it as an AUv3 MIDI processor in a compatible host and route its MIDI output to your instruments.
