Description

Chart your way through melodic wilderness.

Create a custom chain of compounding MIDI sequencers and modules, or connect to other Aqeel Aadam Sound products for extended control.

Waymaker is a collection of sequencers and modules that provides a variety of innovative ways to craft melodies and spark inspiration. Waymaker can be used in two different modes:

* MIDI mode: Build a custom chain of modules to generate melodies, transpose progressions, create ever-changing sequences, and so much more.
* AAS mode: Use Waymaker to control other Aqeel Aadam Sound products, such as Weeping Wall and Ridgewalk. Design everything from simple looping delays to dense generative atmospheres.

Waymaker offers 11 sequencers and sequencing utilities:

* Step: A simple step sequencer of variable length
* Morph: A morphing step sequencer which can automatically shift pitches on a defined schedule
* Weight: A random sequencer with a set of pitches and a chance that each will occur
* Sum: A compounding sequencer in which pitches flip on and off asynchronously and add up to a single output
* Brownian: A random melody based on Brownian motion, in which each step has a chance to ascend or descend from the previous pitch
* Shift: A utility for repitching the loopers of Weeping Wall and Ridgewalk independently
* MIDI: A utility for passing MIDI notes from Waymaker to Weeping Wall or Ridgewalk, allowing for their loopers to be repitched by the keyboard or with another sequencer
* Beat: A pitchless sequencer for creating custom rhythms to clock or reset other sequencers or rearrange the timing of incoming MIDI notes
* Probability: A utility for introducing random skips and unpredictability
* Chord: A utility for adding harmonies to each incoming note
* Channel: A utility for distributing notes to a variety of MIDI channels, on a regular, random, or cascading basis

In MIDI mode, each sequencer can be used to generate new MIDI notes, transpose the pitch of incoming MIDI notes, or trigger new sequences based on incoming notes. Waymaker can be used as a standalone MIDI sequencer or as a MIDI effect for modifying the output of your favorite sequencers.

In AAS mode, Waymaker can use any of the sequencers to change the pitch of each channel in products like Weeping Wall or Ridgewalk independently. In addition, Waymaker can provide additional control to these products—such as pitch glide and independent reversal of loopers—that is not available normally. Together, you can craft a totally custom audio effect, whether you want a unique looper, granulator, delay, or reverb.

Waymaker has full preset control and can manage presets for other Aqeel Aadam Sound devices in AAS mode.

Please note that there is a minimum version requirement for Waymaker to be used with other Aqeel Aadam Sound products. Weeping Wall: v1.5.0, Ridgewalk: v.1.10. The version number can be found in the product’s settings menu.

What’s New

Version 1.0.4

New features:

- Robust syncing controls for keeping Waymaker synchronized to your DAW. Waymaker can now be started and stopped via MIDI notes, CC messages, and parameter control.
- Beat sequencer has a new "Morph" mode, for creating rhythms that randomly change overtime.
- Beat sequencer also has a new mode for following pitches, for producing ratchets and modifying the timing of other melodies.
- The Probability module now contains a fully fledged sequencer, for creating a sequence of probabilities with an independent speed.
- When a sequencer is progressed by MIDI notes, output notes can be held until the next note is received, for a variety of note lengths.

Improvements:

- Changing Morph sequencer's range no longer changes the pitch of locked stages.
- All sliders in the UI have a default value, which can be double clicked to restore.
- Sequence lengths and Beat's euclidean options can now be controlled by parameters.
- Per-stage note length and velocity can now go up 1000% of the normal value for a broader range.
- Buttons for loading presets are now animated and more obvious.
- Sequence slider popups now show the number of semitones a note is away from the root.
- New presets.

Fixes:

- Branch sequencers now handle duplicated notes better.
- Some issues with resetting sequencers are now patched.
- Some minor UI bugs.
