Effects-sequencing plugin Sequential has already won plenty of plaudits, but developer Sinevibes clearly thinks that there's more potential to be unlocked from it. Version 3 has just been announced, and heralds the arrival of a new interface and the option to trigger multiple effects at once.
19 effects processors are now supplied, and these can be triggered using the 32-step sequencer. Here's a list of all the new features in version 3:
- New interface with a 25% more compact layout, animations, rendered on the graphics adaptor.
- New audio engine with hardware-accelerated math and up to 2x less processor strain.
- Sequential is now polyphonic, can trigger multiple effects at once.
- 8 instance snapshots for realtime switching or host automation.
- Totally new effects: flanger, resonator, three-voice chorus, granulator, analog drive.
- Steeper -24 dB/octave high-pass filter.
- Reworked circuit-bent filter algorithm with a resonant pre-filter stage.
- Reworked barber-pole phaser effect with feedback and bipolar frequency control.
- Reworked sine, phase, glitch oscillators with bipolar modulation depth controls.
- New user manual with detailed effects descriptions.
Sequential 3 is available as a Mac Audio Units plugin and costs $49. Updates for existing users are free.
