WoodPeckrr

WoodPecker is a midi V2 and V1 sequencer with 4 independent layers (sequencers).
Each sequencer has up to 64 steps and 4 variations (resulting in max 256 steps).

The app can be used stand-alone (device midi input and output) or as a plugin in a DAW.

Plugin types : AU, AAX, VST3 and stand-alone app.


- Each sequencer can set its own midi channel and hence 4 different instruments can be addressed simultaneously.

- Each sequencer can set its own number of steps and step duration.

- Each sequencer has 4 Variations (which can have different values for all step params).
Variations can be selected manually or from any step.

- Sequencers can be started manually, by DAW transport, by Midi RT Play, by keyboard note input and when inserted as audio effect by audio input triggering.

- BPM can be set manually, by tapping, by the DAW or by the Midi RT clock.
- WoodPecker can also send the Midi Clock and Midi RT play start/stop messages.

- Midi V2 mode sends UMP messages given higher precision.

- Resync mode restarts at step 1 after a number of bars (compensate for the random or odd timings).

- Midi can be sent to the DAW and/or directly to the OS (allowing a plugin to address external instruments).
- Stand-alone app support Midi over BlueTooth.



Each Step has :

- “On” or “Skip” probability.
- Velocity value.
- Random note probability.
- Random note range which can be limited to a scale.
- Ratcheting (repetition of same note in the step).
- 9 ratcheting patterns (triplet, 4-sixteenths, 2-eights, etc).
- Ratcheting probability.
- Delta step time setting (different duration…)
- Can send 4 Midi (CC, PC, Pressure, Pitch, V2 RPN, …) or meta commands (start/stop other sequencer, set variation).


Presets can be stored in iCloud Drive (makes them available on all your devices).
