WHAT IS AUGMATIC GRE:

🟣 Augmatic GRE is an algorithmic MIDI drum‑pattern generator inspired by the iconic Mutable Instruments Grids Eurorack module and expanded with a Euclidean engine.

🔴 It lets you effortlessly blend total randomness and perfectly locked loops.

🔵 Combined with a unique Linear Drumming feature and Velocity Bender, Augmatic GRE can play patterns that sound natural, as if they were performed by a real drummer.

🟡 Drum fills, breaks, variations, flams, evolving grooves - what normally takes tedious manual sequencing - can be done live, with a single sweep of a slider.

_________________________________________________
MAIN FEATURES:

✅ 6 Algorithmic Channels - Bass drum, snare, hi-hat, plus accents which create complementary rhythms, not duplicates. Each channel can generate its own rhythmic voice for rich, layered drum patterns.

✅ Topographic Engine - Morphable, evolving beats based on the Mutable Instruments Grids Eurorack module. Navigate an X/Y map of interconnected drum patterns extracted from actual drum loops with smooth interpolation between patterns.

✅ Euclidean Engine - generate evenly distributed, world‑inspired rhythm patterns. Configure steps, hits, and start position independently on each channel for precise control.

✅ Blend Control - Crossfade between Topographic and Euclidean patterns to introduce variation while preserving the core character of your groove.

✅ Linear Drumming - Control which drums play together or play alone. Each sound has room to breathe. Creates clean, articulate patterns. Used in Hip-Hop, IDM, Funk, Fusion.

✅ Velocity Bender - Shape velocity dynamics for a more expressive, dynamic pulse. Create ghost notes, and rhythmic emphasis that bring patterns to life.

✅ Groove Tools - Swing, humanization, clock division, and timing shift. Fine-tune the feel of your patterns from tight and mechanical to loose and human.

No, AUv3 support in Live is limited to audio plugins.

Sold!! Im gonna get this :party:

Absolutely lives up to the quality shown in the videos. Mates perfectly with Baby Audio Tekno. Has a tutorial system built-in. Tons of presets. I'd love to see the more standard presets placed in a separate category.

AUv3 works great in Luna. I've had a 50% success rate with AUv3's so this is an accomplishment in and of itself.

Thank you! Regarding Baby Audio Tekno - as lovely as it is, Tekno doesn't care about velocity too much, unfortunately, so the VELOCITY tab will have barely audible effect in Tekno.

More standard presets will be added :-)

Regarding AUv3 - it's not a secret, and I hope it won't start a war here, but Augmatic GRE is 100% vibe-coded. AI can do AUv3, that's what I'm saying. More about this on augmaticaudio.com

The MIDI Mapping Presets are impressive. Did AI suggest those? I love that you even have mapping for individual Battery kits. Would love to see more of those. Might want to map to the Kontakt Maschine kits, too.

AI helped of course, but mappings for individual kits were made by me during testing of the plugin and when I was looking for good sounds to use in demo videos. It was just a matter of saving it. Then, I have a .md file with instructions for Claude how to integrate it for the right platform AUv3 vs VST, iOS vs Mac vs Windows, so it wasn't too hard.

Great! I won't ask you to do any more, in that case. I was only asking in case AI automated it for you. The standard Battery mapping works well for most things.
