Hi all, any sequencer plugins that you can’t live without? What are your favorites?
Since downsizing my hardware I have been getting into more daw-based production and am wondering what everyone’s using aside from their daw’s piano roll. I’m using bitwig, so no M4L ones for me :-(.
I have been doing ok with bitwigs note effects and note grid etc, so I didn’t realize what I was missing until recently when I was watching an unrelated YouTube video about something and the guy was using so many cool sequencing plugins!
Some other ones that I have been looking at were some of the HY ones (like HY-RPE2 and HY-SEQ32) and Stepic (which seems a little vanilla but quick and easy to use).
If you’re interested in sequencers with good randomization controls for new pattern generation, you may want to check out offerings from Audiomodern. In particular, Riffer for melodic sequences / basslines, Playbeat for drums, Chordjam for chords.
five12 numerology is the bomb. MAC only though so if you’r eon a windows machine it’s a no go. i don’t think there’s a vst3 version (yet) so you’d have to run it as a vst2 which bitwig supports.
the hyakken stuff at hy-plug ins is dope. the sequencer collection and the one that’s on its own.
the seq32 and the sequencer collection are really great. https://hy-plugins.com
sugar bytes makes some good sequencers too. i haven’t tried nest but it’s quite modular.
i LOVE the stuff made by k-devices. he’s converted some of his M4L stuff into plug ins. they’re weird, fun, different and essential for me. tatat is great for generating sequences.
Agreed that TATAT is a fun sequencer. It is great for quickly generating a random, evolving sequence from a limited set of notes. K-Devices has a couple of other sequencers but they are M4L only. Hopefully those will be made available as general plugins at some point.
