This is a fantastic, very useful and well thought out app.
The Collections tab is really useful and intuitive.
Well worth a look, if you have a massive collection of MIDI files.
The developer is very friendly and welcomes suggestions, which is always inspiring and quite rare to see.

Grooveliner is a fantastic piano and drum pattern editor, with a lot of of functionality for easy manipulation of your MIDI and an amazing toolset of modifiers. It is a great addon to your DAW and a must have for plugin hosts, which usually don't come with a piano roll or for ones with only a basic piano roll. Being able to fold your notes, import MIDI, route MIDI to different channels, add in multiple "scences", song mode, etc. are all also great additions. This is a must have for your purchased MIDI construction kits, it you are in to that, as each element can be routed to a separate track. This workflow is great, as you can save your presets in Grooveliner and then use them in any of your DAW's or plugin hosts. The developer is also responsive to requests. There is nothing I can really fault with this plugin.

If you dislike the arrangement view, get Arrangerking. It really keeps everything neat and organised if you prefer working in clip launch view. It makes tweaking your arrangement of elements a breeze. The developer is also very responsive and open to suggestions. Test is out, to see for yourself - you won't regret it.

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.
Ripchord is possibly the best MIDI audition tool (not just playing the MIDI but being able to see the notes being played), thanks to it's minimal CPU usage and the ability to scroll through the presets with the arrow keys, without any delay.
The search function in the presets section helps a lot but one feature I'd really like to see in a future update is the ability to have the preset folder contain subfolders, rather than them all being in one directory, in order to have them more organised. Finding specific presets when you have a lot can be quite a challenge, so having them categorised in folders would make it a lot easier - even if this only allows for searching in the folder you select.
Great VST and really worth checking out. I have Scaler 2 but still prefer auditioning with Ripchord - it's just so much quicker, especially when you have tonnes of Scaler presets added. Keep up the great work, Trackbout and thanks for this amazing free plugin.
