Phrasendrescher 2 is to be release soon.
I believe they are be looking for beta testers.
https://aggregato.jimdofree.com/instrum ... ndrescher/
Requires Reaktor FULL version 5.92.

I have been eyeing Phrasendrescher for a while but Version 2 may be the one that makes me buy it. If the developer sees this post perhaps they can tease us with the features.

Yeah, Phrase.box 1.2 is now officially my favourite Midi tool.
Adam is so responsive and doing a great job with improving the plugin. While initially PB was more aimed at generating phrases that then would mostly playback as they were, with the the new options in 1.2 you can make things change over time subtly or radically depending on a chance setting for the randomness.
I can't recommend this enough.

Combines perfectly with Scal.er 2...

Good times!

Cheers,

Tom

There is a new beta out that fixes a hanging-notes problem...

Cheers,

Tom

P.S. Man do I hate these new autolinks, they are more than useless since you think the op linked to something when he didn't...

Is there a VST equivalent of Stepic?
It looks awesome, I like how easy it is to sequence the effects and filters. Only downside is it’s Ableton only...

M4L has a monopoly on great midi plugins.
What we need is a Max4all!

Zenith maybe my only option.

Thanks for the heads up on this one! Missed it in the News section. Looks nice, instant buy for me. It kind of reminds me of some of the HY-Plugin sequencers.

Max started out as a totally separate application, and although it's heavily integrated (and owned) by Ableton it's still available stand alone and could be used by any DAW through system MIDI. Regular price is $400. Not sure if Stepic would be a good experience or not since they seem to use Ableton features.

Do you need Ableton to use Max: https://support.cycling74.com/hc/en-us/ ... e-devices-

For an extra $200 (aka $600 total) you could get Live Standard + M4L, probably much cheaper if purchased used or on sale.

I think it's a pretty good investment with the huge ecosystem of plugins available for Max.

Anything and everything about MIDI - arp, mapper, mangler, generator, chorder, controller, utility, fx etc.
