About Loomer Sequent
Sequent is a
modular multi-effects unit, the ideal tool for mangling audio on stage or in the studio.
Effects
Sequent has seven individual effect blocks: a
Beat Looper; two
Filters, both switchable between
lowpass,
bandpass, and
highpass modes and capable of
self oscillation even
without an audio input; an
oversampled Distortion unit; a
Gate with variable depth and slew; a
Panner;
and a
Delay unit capable of sub millisecond delay times, great for creating everything for
from dub, slapback, and bouncing ball style echoes, to metallic comb filters or flanger effects.
Modular Routing
Effect blocks can be connected in practically
limitless ways by dragging virtual audio cables between them. Route effects
in
parallel, in
series, or
any other combination you can dream of.
Sequenced Parameters
Want variation? Each effect parameter has its
own step sequencer, perfect for building
interesting modulation motifs. Easily
craft
polyrhythmic sounds by individually setting the number of steps and speed for each effect.
Beat Slicing
Cut-up and rebuild audio in realtime. Use Sequent's flexible Looper to create anything from
subtle loop variations,
to
micro-programmed glitches.
Randomness
Creative block? Let Sequent do the work. Distinct
random controls for each parameter allow everything from
slight variations,
to
complete aleatoric composition.
Patterns
Combine sequencer and effect settings into
patterns, which can be instantly between
switched from the on-screen interface,
or even
using a MIDI controller.
MIDI Learn
Controls can be
easily mapped to a hardware controller using the simplified
MIDI Learn feature.
With optimised audio algorithms that won't overload your processor, rock-solid stability, and easy integration with any
MIDI hardware controller, Sequent is ideal for live work. With a simple and intuitive interface, flexible Bank and
Program management, and total parameter automation, Sequent fits right into your studio environment.
Sequent is available for
Mac OS X v 10.4 and above,
Windows XP and above, and
Linux, in
Audio Unit,
VST plugin,
RTAS for Pro Tools 7 and above, and
Standalone application formats.
An evaluation is available for free download, with the following limitations:
- User created Program and Bank configurations can be saved, but not loaded.
- Output will be periodically interrupted, approximately every 30 seconds, by a short moment of silence.
- Audio output will stop after 30 minutes of continuous use. The only way to continue using Sequent is to restart the application.
Purchasing a licence will remove these evaluation limitations.
A licence entitles you to
lifetime free updates for Sequent.
