stochas 1.3.9

Stochas is at it’s core a step sequencer, which means it generates MIDI notes. As such it does not generate any sound of it’s own but can be used to sequence other plugins and/or hardware synthesizers. Although it can be used for basic step sequencing, it’s main function is to provide randomness to the step sequencing process. It does this in a few ways: Randomly determine whether a note should be played or not (create more dynamic and varied drum patterns) Randomly choose between two or more notes to play at a specific time (create random or semi-random melodic or drum lines) Add slight timing randomness to notes so that they play slightly before or after their position Add randomness to velocity and length of notes In addition to the randomness features, it offers a wealth of features: Suitable for both drum and melodic programming Live performance features - Most features can be controlled by MIDI so that you can mute/unmute layers, switch patterns, change timing, transpose notes, etc. Polyrhythms - Create up to 4 simultaneous layers with different time signature, playback speed and/or number of steps per layer. Patterns - switch between patterns during playback for more variety. Timing - Parts can be played at eg half-time or double-time, etc Groove and humanization - Steps can be individually shifted off the grid. Basic swing can be applied, as well as grooves. Grooves can be imported from MIDI files. Chords - quickly select
