Phrase Arpeggiation
Phrasebox goes beyond traditional arpeggiators, letting you create polyphonic, multi-channel phrases from simple MIDI chords.
Incoming notes are mapped to rows in Phrasebox based on rules you define, making it easy to build complex sequences and explore new ideas. Change the notes you play, and the output reshapes instantly.
Freeform Editing
Edit notes with complete freedom, without fixed steps or restrictions on timing and length.
Phrases can be as short as a beat or as long as a full arrangement, and playback probabilities help keep them organic and evolving.
Creative Timing
Create polyrhythms and Euclidean patterns with note repeats that follow a grid or even spacing.
Each row has independent loop points, and phrases can loop infinitely or to a set count.
Multi-Channel MIDI Automation
Add expression to your phrases with controller lanes for any MIDI CC. Automate sustain pedals, filters, pitch bends, and more, across multiple channels.
Phrasebox can even operate in controller-only mode, letting you add automation to your existing MIDI.
Advanced Row Logic
Work with unlimited rows, each with its own rule. Use different MIDI channels and transpositions, even when supplying just one note.
Organise your phrases with custom names, colours, and layout to manage complex polyphonic phrases.
Instant Phrase Generation
Need inspiration fast? Use Phrasebox's built-in generator to create unique phrases in seconds.
Set your rules for notes and controller data, hit a button, and explore endless musical ideas that are instantly playable.

To be honest, I don't quite get why a MIDI note-called sequence cannot just start right from its beginning exactly when it receives this note. Instead, it starts somewhere in the middle apparently counting when the next multiplication of a 4/4 bar is expected. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or maybe that's the way it works, but why?

Extremely pleased with this plug-in! Once I figured out how to use it with my DAW (Studio One) it was very obvious how useful it would be! Disclaimer: I am incredibly rusty as a player so this tool helps me take my ideas and compose quickly compared to all the hours of practice I would need otherwise. Love the interface as much as the concept.

Phrasebox really gives you an easy way to create complex phrases/arps/sequences. It has been updated often, with each updating adding great new functionality. This latest update (1.2.0) really adds a lot of extra features. It is the best arp/seqencer currently available on the market, in my opinion. Venomode have really created something special here.

Fantastic - by far my favored method of arpeggiating / sequencing is via a piano-roll interface, When NORA fell out of the market I waited patiently for someone to fill that role again. The ability to sculpt highly musical phrases with this much freedom cannot be matched by the standard grid approach.
As for responsive? I asked for live/trigger mode - I got live/trigger mode. This developer is fully engaged with the customer, and took the time to toss ideas back and forth with me via email - greatly appreciated! THAT'S how you do it :).
If anybody out there, like me, is a MIDI Modifier gourmand (trust me I've messed with a lot of them!), don't hesitate. Buy and enjoy this great product.
