Gridwork

What it does

• Nine step graphs per pad

  Velocity or slice, cutoff, resonance, pitch, pan, gate, late timing, FX send and roll each have their own lane. Roll plays reverse and 2x to 8x ratchets.

• Polymeters and page chains

  Set a start and end step per pattern for polymeters. Page chains switch globally or per pad, with random switches.

• Loops that follow host tempo

  Slice points come from the file or from detected transients. Gridwork keeps loops in time by resampling, slicing with fill or granular stretch.

• Effects written into the sample

  Bend, bit and sample-rate reduction, fuzz, tilt, punch, reverse and more are calculated once and stored in the sample. Playback uses no extra CPU for them.

• Groove, repeater and ducking

  Capture a groove from a loop's slice timing and levels. The repeater runs from 1/2 to 1/256 and follows swing. A key pad can duck any other pads through the sidechain compressor.

• MIDI out and eight stereo outputs

  Send MIDI from the plug-in or through an optional virtual CoreMIDI port, and export patterns as MIDI files. Each pad can go to its own output pair.
