WoodPecker

WoodPecker is a MIDI V2 and V1 sequencer with 4 independent layers (sequencers). Each sequencer has up to 64 steps and 4 variations (resulting in max 256 steps).

The app can be used stand-alone (device MIDI input and output) or as a plugin in a DAW.

IOS plugin type: AUv3 and stand-alone app.
MacOS plugin type: AU, AAX, VST3 and stand-alone app.

Features:

• Each sequencer can set its own MIDI channel and hence 4 different instruments can be addressed simultaneously.
• Each sequencer can set its own number of steps and step duration.
• Each sequencer has 4 Variations (which can have different values for all step params).
• Variations can be selected manually or from any step.
• Sequencers can be started manually, by DAW transport, by MIDI RT Play, by keyboard note input and when inserted as audio effect by audio input triggering.
• BPM can be set manually, by tapping, by the DAW or by the MIDI RT clock.
• WoodPecker can also send the MIDI Clock and MIDI RT play start/stop messages.
• MIDI V2 mode sends UMP messages given higher precision.
• Resync mode restarts at step 1 after a number of bars (compensate for the random or odd timings).
• MIDI can be sent to the DAW and/or directly to the OS (allowing a plugin to address external instruments).
• Stand-alone app support MIDI over Bluetooth.

Each Step has:

• "On" or "Skip" probability.
• Velocity value.
• Random note probability.
• Random note range which can be limited to a scale.
• Ratcheting (repetition of same note in the step).
• 9 ratcheting patterns (triplet, 4-sixteenths, 2-eights, etc).
• Ratcheting probability.
• Delta step time setting (different duration...).
• Can send 4 MIDI (CC, PC, Pressure, Pitch, V2 RPN, ...) or meta commands (start/stop other sequencer, set variation).

Presets can be stored in iCloud Drive (makes them available on all your devices).
