PatternBud is a MIDI CC and Program Change sequencer designed for controlling patterns across your music applications. Create sophisticated song arrangements by sequencing pattern changes in your synthesizers, drum machines, and sequencers based on musical timing such as bars, beats, or note values.
Key Features:
- Multi-track sequencer with unlimited tracks and steps per track
- Individual MIDI channel and CC number assignment per track
- MIDI CC and Program Change message support for each step
- Flexible step durations: bars, beats, note values, seconds, or minutes
- Advanced action system for dynamic pattern control
- Random value generation with customizable min/max ranges
- Step-based actions including pattern jumps and random pattern selection
- Copy, paste, insert, and delete operations for efficient workflow
- Real-time step progress visualization with duration indicators
- Tempo synchronization with host applications
- Pattern switching via MIDI CC input
- Comprehensive MIDI input and output routing
- AudioKit-powered MIDI engine for precise timing
- AUv3 plugin format for seamless DAW integration
- Standalone app operation for hardware setups
- iCloud based preset manager
Advanced Action System:
- Jump to specific steps or patterns
- Trigger random steps within tracks
- Send custom MIDI notes, CC, or PC messages
- Execute actions at step start or end points
- Chain multiple actions per step
Perfect for controlling:
- Pattern-based synthesizers and drum machines
- Sequencer applications with multiple patterns
- Hardware devices via MIDI CC/PC messages
- Complex song arrangements and live performances
- Any audio app supporting MIDI CC or AU parameter control
PatternBud serves as the conductor for your electronic music setup, enabling you to create evolving compositions by orchestrating
pattern changes across your entire rig. The application produces no audio itself - it focuses purely on MIDI control and timing.
For AUv3 plugin usage, you'll need a compatible host application such as AUM, Cubase, apeMatrix, BeatMaker, or similar DAW
software.
I’ve been looking a long time for a simple MIDI sequencer that runs as a plug-in within main stage. I finally found it. The plug-in will execute PC or CC messages at one or more bars within the song and allows me to access any of the controls I have set up within mainstage. In my case, I use it to change guitar effects, vocal, harmonies, etc. I can add it to each of my patches/songs in main stage, customizing it for each song. Fantastic!
Key for song-building in AUM

Let’s me change pattern across multiple sequencers easily in AUM. It’s essential for my live workflow.
Functional but a bit cumbersome
c6y
First off, this app is constantly crashing. I contacted the developer but haven’t heard back. That said, this is a focused and very useful little tool. I have not found anything like it. Unfortunately it is a little cumbersome to program. Would love to see reorder by drag and drop, drag to delete, copy/paste or duplicate track, etc.
Good concept, but need automation to chance cc value in step
Bareimage
This tool would have been amazing if it would allow cc scaling from value a too b within a step
This version improves the sequencer.
