MidiPatterns is a multitrack, pattern-oriented, MIDI step sequencer. It can be used as a simple drum machine, or to handle complex multi-timbral, polyphonic scores, controlling multiple software synthesizers and hardware expanders at once.
Supports multiple tracks: virtually up to 32000 polyphonic MIDI tracks per document, altough memory, MIDI system capabilities and your sanity will probably lower that limit.
Can drive multiple MIDI devices, directly connected or linked through a network.
The size of each pattern can vary between 1 and 216 steps. Each document can define up to 32000 distinct patterns.
Has powerful per track modulation capabilities, including volume, reverb, chorus, attack, decay, release, pan, cutoff and resonance.
v2.2
• the interaction with the score grid has been completely revised and now allows to directly define the duration of the events without resorting to the modulations editor.
• the “overlay” mode and the corresponding switch on the control bar have been removed, since now you can access the contextual menus of notes and events with just a “long press”; the overlay in the modulations editor is now always active to give access to the contextual menus of each slider.
• the “general” page of the preferences panel has been renamed “score & events”, has a new icon and includes a new panel devoted to the events in which you can assign their initial attributes.
• the “initialization” page of the preferences panel has been renamed “tracks & patterns” and adds the ability to choose whether to include a percussive or/and a chromatic track when creating a new document, or even none.
