Reaper is actually fukt with internal/exteral midi routing ports with VST&Hardware... nightmare... way worse than just confusing AF...
it won't do some things without massive overkill amounts of extra effort... that personally use/need such MIDI function...
FL is way better in that aspect...
you can always load FL as VSTi for reaper for multitracking....
Reaper is so lightweight!!!
using it for multitracking recently instead of my other methods... Nuendo/ProTools
as supersimple fast DAW for the basics in sort of 4track tape style...
Thanks for promoting Reaper.

awesome for noise/experimental fast recordings...
haven't attempted using it yet for more complex BPM based compositions as of yet...
0.999 is the last freeware version of REAPER...
starting with version 1.0 the license was changed to very reasonably priced uncrippled nag-free shareware...
Obviously, this official license FREE old Version of Reaper is now unsupported...

Short Circuit 2 has been discontinued. It is now freely available for download... fullversion
Vember Audio does not offer any support for it or exist...
thus having vanished into the WayBackMachine...
This VSTi Sampler was suggested by an old friend long ago... that did hardware sampling on Akai/Ensoniq.
After messing with Halion earlier today just went back for finding this buried treasure...
It also does SF2...(hmm may have coverted SF2 for Akai format... because Eye can do things like that)
just confirmed SC2 didn't load SF2... ShortCircuit1 actually does load them... hmmm
You can use Polyphone for easier custom SF2 Zoning/Layering & create some awesome sampler instruments.

Short Circuit 2 is a software sampler in the shape of a VSTi plug-in for the win32-platform.

Short Circuit 2 was created as a reaction against the ongoing trend where software samplers are being designed with the primary intent of library playback. It is intended for people who, like us, consider a sampler to be a musical instrument in its own right, and not just a way to emulate other instruments. It has been a very high priority to make sure that adding and editing individual samples is as fast and logical as possible.

The sample hierarchy in Short Circuit 2 allow you to place samples directly at the highest level of the multi, without having to deal with instrument hierarchies and patches. Want to add a sample to your song? Just drag & drop the sample into Short Circuit 2 and you're ready to go. Samples can be put in groups for multi-sampling and kit-building, but the complexity is only there when you need it.

Sound quality is another concern, and Short Circuit 2 is using high-quality sinc-interpolation, together with oversampling when upsampling, to provide pitch-shifting without audible artefacts. What this means in plain English is that a sample played back at another pitch sounds like a sample played back at another pitch, without any additional muck.


Features:

Streamlined user interface for fast sample management & editing.
Splendid audio quality while resampling.
Flexible selection of filters & effects.
Powerful modulation system, with the ability to modulate itself as well as
loop-points in addition to the usual destinations.
Envelope follower.
Stepsequencer/LFO combo.
Imports wav-files, AKAI S5000/S6000/Z4/Z8 .akp banks and NI battery kits.

Wouter Hisschemxc3xb6ller's Euclidean Pattern Generator
Image
This Java-based Euclidean Pattern Generator is excellent if you have a MIDI interface. This lets you trigger MIDI notes in sequences using variable parameters. It's great for polyrhythms, ambient, and experimental synthesis.

Basically, for any given pattern, you create an oscillator that you split apart into whatever accents you want. Then you just route that out to whichever note you want. It's pretty simple and plenty of fun.

I've been running it on Windows 10 myself. Should be executable from any platform that has a Java runtime environment installed

Transition is a generative MIDI sequencer.

The basic idea is that bots move through a matrix of cells until they encounter a wall, another Boot, or an obstacle.

When a Boot hits a wall it will trigger a note, or a chord. The note/chord is based on the scale degree and octave settings of the wall cell. The output can be transposed up or down within the selected scale by incoming MIDI notes.

When a Boot crashes with another Boot they will both change direction. When a Boot encounters an obstacle the effect on the Boot is based on the type of obstacle (for example it can change direction, jump to another part of the matrix, change speed, or pause movement).

There are numerous settings you can edit to control the behavior of the bots and the MIDI output they generate. The various randomization features allows you to create more interesting and unpredictable output. Most of the parameters can also be automated.

Transition gives you an interesting and fun way to come up with new musical ideas. It can produce a chaotic random result, work more like a standard step sequencer, or something in between.

Eckel is a midi generating VST based on the eucledian algorithm. Inspired by http://ruinwesen.com/blog?id=216 and the linked PDF.
Win http://www.shuriken.se/downloads/Eckel%20WIN.zip
OSX http://www.shuriken.se/downloads/Eckel%20OSX.zip
Manual http://www.shuriken.se/downloads/Eckel%20Manual.pdf
Read a lot more of this in the manual, you really should download the manual.


Shredder is a sampler designed to be easy to use and fun to play with. it has 12 slots for samples that are controllable via midinotes or automatable parameters aswell as a gui. enough jabbering though, look at the vide and download the plugin, note that the manual is not incuded in the zipfiles.
