AZ Audio has announced the release of version 1.00 RC1 of PolyGrid, a MIDI editor and pattern sequencer. It functions as a VST instrument plug-in on Windows and it is free.

• User-defined grid frequency.
• User-defined editor snapping value.
• MIDI recording with optional input event quantizer.

• Various playback modes (loop, sequential, triggers).
• Pattern import/export (not MIDIfile).
• Undo/redo history, action repeater.
• Editable MIDI event list.
• Solo CC output, making MIDI learning easier.
