What Switch v3 does
The core of the plugin is a high-precision step sequencer that runs in sync with the host transport. Patterns can still be edited all the time, so changes to an inactive pattern can be prepared before it is switched in. Swing is handled by the sequencer algorithm, where the ratio is adjusted smoothly and the timing stays rhythmically correct, which allows polymetric and polyrhythmic setups.
The gate itself has a variable transition shape produced by a two-pole analog-style lag filter, which the developer describes as natural and click-free, and all continuous parameters pass through one-pole lag filters for smooth adjustment. Channel configurations of mono to mono, mono to stereo and stereo to stereo are supported, and the window can be scaled up to 200%. Switch v3 is available as VST3, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS, and a trial is offered.
Key features
- Eight gate patterns. Eight patterns of up to 32 steps each are stored in the plugin, and each pattern keeps its own step count so polymetric rhythms can be built from patterns of different lengths.
- Swing and timing. The sequencer algorithm offers swing with a ratio that can be adjusted smoothly, and the developer states that the timing stays rhythmically correct under this adjustment.
- Click-free parameter smoothing. Every continuous parameter passes through a one-pole lag filter, which gives smooth, click-free adjustment during playback.
- Pattern macro editing. Copy, paste, clear, invert, shift, evolve and randomize functions work on the sequencer pattern, so a pattern can be reshaped without drawing each step by hand.
- Open XML preset format. Presets are stored as plain XML, so the data can be viewed and edited in a text editor, and custom gate patterns can be generated outside the plugin. Built-in preset management is included for loading and saving.
