Presentation

The concept and the core of this unique tool is a way to generate Midi notes, where your Midi clips orchestrate the pitches but the triggers are made from MGenBend. But where this tool shine is that the triggers are coming from a phasor, used as a curve based sequencer: a way to bend, to easily make polyrhythm, to very quickly make variations of rhythms, add groove, and all of these, respecting your melodic composition.

And while you can play Midi triggers in a fun and new way, I thought that making classics Pitch, Velocity and Gate sequencers bound to the main sequencer would be a nice addition.

I made this tool for my own compositions, but also planing to use it for live shows. It is indeed Push compatible. You can modify all the parameters in realtime, making it a complex generative tool.

To add more possibilities and deepness, you can create up to 8 presets, callable in realtime, with auto store option.

I also thought that some useful options would be important to add, like snapping (in order to match more classic rhythms), quantization when modifying the curve (for best live results) or even some useful Push UX improvements.
