Using VFX Sequencer

VFX Sequencer is a powerful MIDI sequencer plugin that runs inside Patcher.

In general, an arpeggiator plays a series of notes whenever it receives a MIDI note. For example, you could play a chord, and the arpeggiator could then cycle between playing notes inside the chord. A sequencer is an advanced arpeggiator giving you lots of control over how the note patterns are created.

VFX Sequencer allows you to generate MIDI notes for any instrument. Let’s explore VFX Sequencer:
