    Workflow

Bring Your Samples

Drag and drop a sample from your local folder or DAW onto one of the ten available pads in the plugin.

Alternatively, right-click on any pad and select "Load Sample" to browse your sample folder.

Preview a Sample: Left-click on a pad to preview the sample.

Additionally, samples can be triggered using MIDI keys, mapped from C1 to A1.

Program a Pattern

Click on individual steps to manually create a pattern, or right-click on a pad and select one of the shortcut pattern fillers for quicker sequencing.

Hit It

Play the beat by pressing Middle C on your MIDI keyboard or programming Middle C in your DAW’s piano roll.

Use play button to live preview your sequence.

The default beat length is one bar, looping continuously. To extend it to four bars, either:

  • Stretch one note across four bars.
  • Add a new note at the start of each bar.

    • Volume, Pan, Mute & Solo

    Volume Knob (Left Side): Adjust the loudness of each sample.

    Pan Knob (Right Side): Position your sound within the stereo field.

    Mute Button: Enables or disables audio output from a pad.

    Solo Mode: Right-click a pad and select "Solo" to isolate it. Click again to toggle solo off.

    Multiple Outputs

    For more advanced effects and processing, the plugin allows individual sounds to be routed to separate buses or mixer tracks in your DAW.


    > Click the"Multi" button to enable multiple outputs.
    > Configure your DAW to receive separate outputs - refer to your DAW's manual for setup instructions.

    Save Your Session

    Created an awesome beat and want to use it in another project? You can save your session as a preset.
    It stores plugin parameters, patterns, and sample files within the session.

    Presets are portable. Means it can be transferred to other system or can be shared with others.

    5 Patterns

    A session can contain up to five distinct patterns, each of which can be triggered using MIDI keys C, D, E, F, and G within the middle octave.

    Themes – Pick Your Style

    Choose from several theme options with different colors.
    Once selected, it will be saved as default automatically.

    Settings – Customize Your Sound

    Right-click on a pad and select "Settings" to open a window with additional options for shaping your sound and customizing your sequence.

    Sample Start/End

    Adjust the Start and End knobs to set the playback position and length of a sample.

    ADSR

    Modify the ADSR envelope to shape your sound dynamically:

    Attack (A): Controls how quickly the sound reaches full volume.

    Decay (D): Sets the time for volume to drop after the attack.

    Sustain (S): Determines the level a note holds when played.

    Release (R): Defines how long the sound fades after the key is released.

    Step Velocity

    Samples trigger when they receive MIDI notes, and their velocity determines playback volume. You can fine-tune the velocity of every 16 notes individually in the Velocity Editor:

    Click & Drag individual sliders to modify note velocity.

    Drag across multiple sliders to set them simultaneously - perfect for rolls and ramps.

    Swing – Groove Adjustment

    Swing modifies the feel of your sequence, especially for hi-hats and shakers. It delays every other (even) 16th note by an adjustable amount set via the Swing Knob.

    Pitch Shift

    Adjust the pitch of a sample by shifting one octave up or down.

    The pitch control knob is quantized to semitones, meaning it smoothly moves between precise steps - 12 semitones up and 12 semitones down.

        update (1.5.0) - 25Apr2025

        Drag MIDI from Plugin to DAW for Precise Timing.
            
            Sequencers in general are designed to work in perfect bars, meaning the sequence must start at the exact beginning of a bar.
            
            This limitation can make it impossible to start playback from the middle of a bar within the plugin itself.
            
            Solution - Create midi out of the sequence, drop it into your DAW and place it anywhere on the timeline.
    
        Presets are now portable.
            
            Audio files are part of preset along with patterns and other parameters/setting.
            
            Means presets now can be transferred to other systems or can be shared with others.
    
        Improved midi processing.
    
        Some ui adjustment.
            
            Themes tab is just a color wheel now. Takes less space.
