Description
SwarmSeq is a professional-grade generative MIDI sequencer and sampler driven by six mathematical pattern generators — EUCLIDEAN, FIBONACCI, MANDELBROT, PROBABILISTIC, PSEUDO-FACTORIAL, and EUCLIDEAN LENGTH. Each engine produces structurally coherent, organic patterns that breathe and evolve in real-time. A built-in 8-slot multi-sampler (featuring 4-voice polyphony per lane) loads WAV, AIFF, or FLAC files per lane, triggered directly by the algorithmic engines with dedicated output modes. Sculpt your sounds with semitone-accurate pitch shifting, per-lane volume, and pan controls, visualized via kinetic circular rings and interactive step grids. A 13-mode arpeggiator, scale quantizer, and algorithmic mutation complete a workspace built for high-performance creative flow.
ALGORITHMIC PATTERN GENERATION
Six algorithms. Zero repetition. Infinite movement.
Diverge from traditional grids. SwarmSeq employs six mathematical pattern generators to produce organic sequences. Morph parameters in real-time to create fluid, evolving rhythms.
PARAMETERS
Determines the loop length of the lane’s generated sequence.
Selects the number of algorithmic note triggers placed within the steps.
Rotates the generated pattern forward or backward in time.
Selects the math engine: EUCLIDEAN, FIBONACCI, MANDELBROT, PROBABILISTIC, PSEUDO-FACTORIAL, or EUCLIDEAN LENGTH.
8-SLOT AUDIO PLAYBACK ENGINE
An 8-slot playground. Pure analog modeling.
Load your own WAV, AIFF, or FLAC samples per lane with a 4-voice polyphonic engine designed for rich retriggering. Shape each slot with Zero-Delay Feedback (ZDF) filter emulation, pitch envelopes, and independent volume/pan controls.
Trims the sample playback start and end boundaries.
Plays the sample backward from the end point.
Zero-delay feedback (ZDF) analog filter emulation with selectable low-pass and high-pass modes.
Loops sample playback with adjustable crossfade window.
SCALE-ALIGNED MELODIC MOTION
13 modes of generative progression.
Transform simple algorithmic pulses into complex, scale-quantized melodies. The 13-mode arpeggiator features Markov-chain transition logic, Chord Trigger options, and timing skips to breathe life into static sequences.
Includes Markov probability pathways, Chord Trigger, and directional sweeps.
Spreads the notes across selectable octave registers.
Skips active triggers or biases note selection algorithms.
Aligns generated MIDI notes to musical scales (Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Phrygian, etc.).
MASS-SPRING PHYSICS & CHAOTIC JITTER
Sound governed by laws of motion.
Parameters glide with physical mass rather than snapping. Strike a virtual spring-damper to generate decaying MIDI CC streams, or inject turbulence into step velocity using chaotic Lorenz attractor math.
Glides note transpositions through physical mass-spring calculations.
Injects wind-tunnel-like chaotic jitter into step velocities.
Scales the amplitude of continuous MIDI CC streams generated by note strikes.
Introduces micro-timing offsets to humanize step onsets.
