This Plugin Is Epic - stEPIC Step Sequencer by Devicemeister 

Love your RU-vid channel, man!

@@gen-amb Thank you so much!

Thank you so much 😀

For example: One of Stepic’s cool features for long slow note forms is user definable time signatures per … (channel, pattern, whatever). This lets you produce long sustained notes (imagine a 20/4 time signature) without having to sacrifice tempo resolution by doing the piece at 25bps or something. Stepic doesn’t care it just does what you tell it. It’s a very good music robot.

@@gen-amb Thank you for this information. Will definitely pull the trigger now.

Oh damn that sucks

@@DashGlitch yeah bizarre. So at a root command prompt in /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/, looks something like `cp -R /Users/tjk/Downloads/StepicVST_Mac_x64/StepicVST.vst3 ./VST3/`

it works the same with Vital as far as I know

Yes, each lane has arrows which allow for nudging and transposing while locked to the global scale

Yeah, the VST is meh -- but the Max4Live version is the best sequencer out there. The ping thing works fine with third party plug-ins like Serum. Not so well (not at all?) with Bitwig devices. Even messing around, adding midi modulators and pointing them at the thing you want to control, it all seems a bit haphazard. But using the Max4Live version in Ableton is an absolute dream.

You should check out the Max sequencers and other devices by manifest audio.

@@Kevhuman I don't use Ableton Live for quite some years now. Bitwig works just better for my stuff. Used Live since V 8 and had a lot of trouble and all the problems (stability issues, loosing projecte, problem with Max4Live, problems with 3rd party plugins and a not really helpful support) where gone in the moment I switched to Bitwig Studio. So the Max4Live version is not helpful at all to me.

Yep, natively

i dont think so. Just looked for that feature... sounds like a good idea!

I just bought it. You can randomize the next pattern but to my knowledge you cannot reverse the lanes.

At least in Ableton Live you can simply save the track (or even the current state of the plug-in), in which you set up Stepic, as a preset, so you can reuse it to your liking. I’m pretty sure a similar functionality is available in almost all modern DAWs.

@@PantaFlux i can save the state (preset) in BITWIG but i cant give it to you. AND to stress this: I like this sequencer a lot!

@@OlafFinkbeiner Giving a nice sequence to others is indeed a completely different use case (that I’m personally not interested in). Anyway, saving the VST state as a preset at least takes the “real pain” out of your original concern. 😊

Yes

An interface designer for grid devices would be so neat.

You must have missed the video in where I did something like that :D

@@DashGlitch found it

I'm using it as a VST here

VST in Gig Performer and REAPER no problems.

Devicemeister offers two different variants, one for Live and one as a general VST.

Audiomodern has a step sequencer?

If you’re referring to Riffer, they’re vastly different. I also remember logics sequencer to be terrible, unless they’ve updated it it had no randomization? Niether has per step controls

Riffer is rubbish. There's a randomization feature of sorts but it just scatters notes haphazardly across the screen. There's nothing remotely musical about it. And you can't use it to modulate your vsts. BlueARP is a more powerful and useable sequencer than Riffer and that's free. Someone upthread asks if it's like Cthulu. I like and own Cthulu, but it's not as powerful or as easy to use as Steptic. Again, you can sequence notes in anything -- you might as well just do them in your DAW as in most arp VST's. The real power of STeptic is in it's modulation abilities. You can crank out really useable melodic sequences quickly and intuitively with very little effort. It really blows all the other sequencer VST's out of the water for speed and ease of use. The thing that comes closest is Kirnu Cream which is what I was using before I shifted to STeptic. But STeptic -- in the Max4Live version -- is significantly better for my money.

@@twatmunro Riffer is rubbish, random and not musical? I disagree. I do think It's like that on the init setting. It is complicated and requires some work and patience with the settings, but after 30 mins when you have settings dialled in, you can get a load of riffs to play with.
