VST3 / AU Plugin

DUB
SEQUENCER.

Out now

A step sequencer for anything you run through it. Every step gets its own filter, volume, pan and envelope — so a held chord turns into a rhythm, and a drum loop turns into something else entirely.

What it does

SIXTEEN STEPS.
EVERY ONE DIFFERENT.

32 Steps, Two Banks

Sixteen steps per bank and a pattern that decides how the two play — A, AB, AABB, AAAB. A figure can run over four bars instead of repeating every one.

An Envelope Per Step

Rise, fall and sustain on both volume and filter, set in percentages of the step so they hold their shape at any tempo. Drag the nodes to bend them into curves.

Modulate Anything

Three LFOs and an envelope follower. Right-click any knob or fader — including the ones inside the grid — and hand it to an LFO. A ring shows the range and where it is now.

Delay And Five Reverbs

Ping-pong delay with a high pass inside the feedback, so repeats thin out instead of piling up. Room, Plate, Hall, Spring and Chamber — and you choose per step what goes in.

Video guide

TEN SHORT VIDEOS.
EVERY FUNCTION.

The whole plugin, one feature at a time. Press play and the playlist runs through all ten; the list icon in the player jumps straight to the one you need.

The controls

PER STEP.
NOT PER TRACK.

Cut / Res

Filter cutoff and resonance for every step on its own. Low pass, band pass or high pass for the whole plugin.

Vol

The level of each step. On a held sound this writes the rhythm; on a loop it takes steps out and leaves gaps.

Chain

Joins steps into one longer step. The envelope stretches across the whole block, so a sweep runs over four steps instead of restarting on each.

Envelope

Rise, fall and sustain per step, on volume and on filter, with curves you bend by dragging. Filter depth is in octaves, so a sweep stays musical.

LFO 1–3

Free in hertz or locked to your DAW, from an eighth note to sixteen bars. Six shapes including sample and hold. Each one can drive any control.

Follower

The fourth source, driven by what comes in rather than a clock. Two-sided: it can open its targets as the input gets louder, or duck them.

Pan

Per step and globally. Put an LFO on the global one and you have auto-pan without a second plugin.

Prob

The chance a step plays at all. Below 100% the pattern stops repeating exactly, which keeps a long loop alive.

Sends

Delay and reverb on or off per step. Keep the pattern dry and send one hit into the echo — the dub move, without automation lanes.

Quick start

FOUR SOUNDS.
FOUR SETTINGS.

Dub Chords

A held minor chord in. Turn most steps off, leave two. DLY on for one of them, feedback around 60%. Spring reverb.

Chopped Drums

A break or top loop in. SEQ RATE slower than the loop so the sequencer cuts across it. Drop PROB to 85% and it stops repeating.

Sweep Over Four Bars

Chain a whole bank into one step. Filter depth up, RISE long. PATTERN to AAAB so bar four breaks it.

Auto-Pan

Right-click PAN, assign LFO 2, sync to one bar, sine. Add LFO 3 on reverb size at two bars for slow drift.
