What Cream does
Its chord memory lets a performer play a complete chord with a single note, and its pattern sequencer builds complex sequences from short pattern snippets. The plugin is intended for both live performance and offline DAW use, and it is available as VST2 and AU for Windows and macOS (64-bit).
The structure rests on four tracks. Each track has an independent key area and MIDI in/out routing, so four independent MIDI engines can produce different output at the same time. Every track holds 12 patterns, and each pattern contains 9 step data controls organized in managed tabs, with each step data section operating independently. Patterns are changed from a control zone using an external MIDI keyboard or MIDI clips, and they can also change automatically through the pattern sequencer. The developer describes the MIDI engine as sample accurate and lists low CPU usage.
Key features
- Chord memory. Chord memory makes it possible to play complete chords with only one note. It has 16 memory slots that can save chord memory presets, chords can be inverted with the inversion tool, and contents can be copied and pasted between slots.
- Pattern sequencer. Each of the four tracks holds 12 patterns. Patterns can change automatically within the pattern sequencer, and complex sequences can be assembled from simple pattern snippets.
- Pattern step data. Every pattern has 9 step data controls arranged in managed tabs, and each step data section works independently of the others.
- Independent tracks. Four tracks each have their own key area and MIDI in/out functionality, so four separately programmed MIDI engines can output different material simultaneously.
- Control zone and MIDI clips. Patterns are switched from a control zone using an external MIDI keyboard or through MIDI clips, which makes the pattern changes playable during performance.
