Pattern Engine offers unparalleled control with its 16 steps, each of which can be individually manipulated and randomized across five distinct dimensions: Mute (on/off), Pitch, Velocity, Length, and Tie (for monophonic glides). Every parameter can also be locked per step to prevent randomization. Auto-randomization can be applied globally, at adjustable intervals measured in bars, or on a per-parameter basis, with customizable probabilities for each.
Four tempo-syncable LFOs are available to shape pitch across selected steps, creating evolving melodic contours with a variety of waveforms. Each LFO offers per-step control, allowing for modulation intensity, direction, and central transposition offsets.
Outgoing note pitch values can be transposed internally or via incoming MIDI, offering dynamic performance possibilities through real-time input or pre-programmed clips — all within 50 scales and any key. Sequence direction, length, reset, step grid size, and swing are all fully customizable. Plus, the powerful global settings and six playback modes provide flexible interaction with MIDI input, including innovative Gate and Side functions, vintage Trig bank sequencing, or classic arpeggiation.
With Pattern Engine, you gain immediate access to a world of musical possibilities, pushing the boundaries of creativity for both hardware and virtual instruments.

Pattern Engine is creative magic potion. I use it to start all of my sessions now and have built it into my default Ableton template. It offers quick access to really good melodic ideas. It blows away every other similar plugin I have.

Pattern Engine is the current Matriarch of randomizable step sequencers. This bonkers MIDI effect expands and explodes the previously linear territory traversed by its sequencer contemporaries. From controllable melodic explorations to generative fractals of musical potential, Pattern Engine leans into the mutant half-light betwixt Steve Reich theoretics and Robert Hood pragmatics. To call this sequencer “classic” would be to do it a disservice. This is the beating heart of the future we are yet to hear, and there are ghosts in this future machine.

It’s been a lot of fun to see what comes up using this tool to sequence my modular system. A great sequencer for getting instant flow. Looking forward to using this more!

Pattern Engine is absolutely incredible, powerful, pure magic. I have been using this tool for a while now. It has transformed my songwriting process and is totally central to my workflow and creative process. There’s nothing like the wondrous process of creating an exchange and dialog with chance and chaos and harnessing it for creating art and expression. An invaluable, special, indispensable product.
