About Stepic
Stepic isn't just a powerful and versatile polyphonic step sequencer. 8 additional and fully integrated modulation sequencers make it a true sound shaping tool. Use them to automate any parameter (e.g. Filter Cutoff, Wavetable Position, Effect Amount) of your favorite synthesizers or effect devices. With its support for MIDI CC, Stepic offers you parameter control for both software plug-ins and hardware devices.
By assigning different tempos and sequence lengths to the modulation sequencers, Stepic lets you create deep, polyrhythmic parameter progressions that add a lot of movement and uniqueness to your sound. And if that's not enough, start to bring the 200+ randomization options into play ;-)

Stepic is epic and keeps getting better! Thank you so much and congrats on the new release!! 💫🎶

Fantastic sequencer, love the new updates. Couldn't ask for much more really, but I would love to see more control over sequencer direction especially 'pendulum' movement. If you haven't seen pendulum movement in a sequencer/arp before, check out the Grp Synthesiser A4, look up the 'GRP A4 Jam' vid on YT.

i have spend quite a bit of time researching "step sequencer" vsts and bitwigs build in step sequencing possibilities. I have not found something i like more! Stepic is not only epic and powerful but also very straight forward and easy to understand. The new features are welcome! Thanks to the meister of this device. Stepic is an instrument that can be played live!

for live operation, an upstream transpose function would be necessary. What would it look like if, during live operation, you kept running to the computer for every transpose and turning the wheel with the mouse...and then, in the hectic rush, you still missed the key. So it would be nice if the update could also specify whether you can transpose using the wheel or a midi keyboard. Because up until now, Stepic has not accepted any upstream Midi information. But I suspect that the function will come with the next update. Then Stepic has definitely reached the top world class level. 😉

@3d-marabu Жыл бұрын

@@OlafFinkbeiner In any case, I don't know what the Stepic programmers were thinking when they implemented the transpose function for the root note with a rotary wheel. But while right next to it, the scale keys can be selected with a single step pull-down menu. What more do you need with a midi stepper? That's right...the transpose function...with which you can carry out your transpose with pinpoint accuracy and above all in a targeted manner. With the Transpose wheel, it's basically like playing Russian roulette live at Stepic, whether you're lucky and hit the right note. It doesn't matter whether you work with a touchscreen or a mouse...because the problem remains the same. The fact is that Stepic absolutely needs a MIDI input for trigger notes so that the program is also suitable for professionals in live operation. And if it should fail because of that...then I don't know...

oho nice update

@12Jerbs Жыл бұрын

This is confusing to me. The video title is calls out Stepic for Live 1.4 (so assuming the 1.4 version is for Ableton Max for Live) and Chris mentions going over the 1.4 updates (again, assuming he is looking at updates for Max for Live). Chris calls out the MIDI drag-n-drop being implemented (so assuming this is a 1.4, Max for Live feature), but then at around the 5:10 goes to the automation part, but implies that drag-n-drop is not available for Max for Live - but the wording can be implied that automation is available for non-Max for Live versions?

@devicemeister Жыл бұрын

Hi, the reason for this is that Stepic only exports MIDI data. You can export Stepic's automations if you run the modulation sequencers in MIDI-CC automation mode. If you have further questions about this, don't hesitate to reach out to our email support or visit us on our Discord server. You can find the contact information in the video description or on our website.

@devicemeister Жыл бұрын

Hi, at the project/instance level, you have 16 patterns available for storing your musical ideas. Stepic doesn't have an integrated preset system. However, most hosts/DAWs offer the ability to save the current plugin state as a preset like Live, Bitwig, Logic or Cubase to name a few.

I have the vst version, and cant figure out how to automate my serum patch. All its showing is #cc but in another video you have out it shows a "map" button you would turn on and then select the control you want automated but i cant seem to find that on my version of stepic.

@devicemeister Жыл бұрын

Hi, the "map" button is only available in Stepic's Max for Live version and is used to map Live's own parameters. Live enables this through its API. Unfortunately, other DAWs do not offer such a function - at least not for VST3 and Audio Units, since these are standardized formats. Therefore, in Stepic's VST3/AU version we need to use MIDI-CC for parameter automation. That also works very well with most 3rd-party plugins and hardware synthesizers today. If you need assistance with the CC setup, don't hesitate to reach out to our email support or visit us on our Discord server. You can find contact information in the video description or on our website.

At this point, Stepic does not offer a glide function. However, there is Step-Tie, which lets you connect as many steps as you like. If you don't own Max for Live, then Stepic's VST3/AU version is the way to go👍

try installing Stepic twice... once in a folder for Ableton and then once for Bitwig. So I use Stepic in Reaper and there is a Reaper preset function that can save its pressets, setting parameters, etc. completely independently of the plugin under a name I have specified.
