What HY-RPE2 does
The plugin is organized around two sequencer engines, one of them a Grid Euclidean sequencer, and an eight-track MIDI sequencer that the developer describes as two different designs. Parameters are assigned to modulation sources by drag and drop, so a sequence can be routed to a target without menu navigation. Four LFO and Sample and Hold units and four Macro knobs or buttons give further modulation sources, and a MIDI Note Map controls how notes are handled. The plugin is offered as VST3, VST2 and AU for Windows and macOS, with native support for Apple Silicon listed. Logic Pro, Reason and GarageBand are the hosts the developer names. A trial is available.
Key features
- Two sequencer engines. The plugin runs a Grid Euclidean sequencer alongside a second engine, giving two separate pattern sources to route.
- Drag and drop modulation. Modulation is assigned to parameters by dragging the source onto the target inside the Euclidean sequencer.
- LFO and Sample and Hold. Four LFO and Sample and Hold units provide cyclic and stepped modulation sources.
- Macro controls. Four Macro knobs or buttons gather several parameters under single controls for performance changes.
- MIDI Note Map. A MIDI Note Map sets how incoming notes are mapped to the plugin’s controls and sequences.
- Eight-track MIDI sequencer. An eight-track MIDI sequencer is included alongside the grid engines.
Compatibility
HY-RPE2 is available as VST3, VST2 and AU for Windows and 64-bit macOS. Minimum requirements are macOS 10.12 and Windows 10, with native Apple Silicon support listed.
