Sugar Bytes Nest Modular MIDI Sequencer Plug-In (Download)

Sugar Bytes Nest is a rule-based modular MIDI sequencer plug-in. This superflexible composition tool brings together classical transistor logic with modern computer functions. The wire-patching offers endless possibilities and surprises. With 12 patch scenes and a powerful sound interface, Nest is a little laboratory for complex, intelligent music machines.

A New Sequencer Everyday

Nest allows for free patching and experimenting. You can connect circuits together like Lego bricks and open up endless possibilities for building a new sequencer everyday. Create beats from numbers and numbers from beats, distribute patterns across multiple sound sources, build intelligent song machines.

The Two Faces of Nest

Nest's user interface is divided into two main pages: the Wire page and the Sound page.

On the Wire page, you can create a patch and send it to up to 8 voice slots. The range of possibilities is endless. More than 20 modules to combine: some for numbers (pitch, velocity, modulation), some for gates (triggers, rhythms). With 12 Scenes, a patch can have many variations to suit your songs structures.

The Sound page receives these 8 voices and assigns them to 4 channels. You can have a huge layered 8-voice chord, or 3 voices of drums, 3 voices for a chord, and 2 voices for a bass line and some samples. Each Channel can be an internal synth, a VST plug-in, or MIDI output.

Use the onboard reverb to sweeten your sound. With the multiple audio outs, each sound channel plus the reverb channel can be routed to an individual DAW channel.
