Sugar Bytes Thesys | The Ultimate MIDI Step Sequencer, Unleashing Infinite Musical Creativity

Draw Your Melodies, Let the Machine Compose for You

The concept of a Step Sequencer has always been fascinating – letting machines create music. Sugar Bytes Thesys is the ultimate canvas born for this purpose, designed specifically for step-based music creation. It is not just a powerful MIDI step sequencer, but also a creative tool that inspires endless possibilities. Whether you need to overcome creative blocks or inject new life into existing material, its built-in sophisticated Randomizer engine can instantly generate unexpected melodies and rhythms. Thesys perfectly integrates intuitive operation with deep control, allowing you to easily draw, edit, and even record pitches in real-time via a MIDI keyboard, making it a comprehensive melody generator. Its built-in synthesizer means you can start creating immediately without tedious wiring setups, making it an indispensable music creation tool for modern producers.

At the core of Thesys are its multi-layered sequencing tracks, from basic pitch, velocity, and note length, to complex chords, pitch bends, Note Rolls, and even up to eight groups of CC modulations – everything is under your control. Its unique Polyrhythm capability allows each sequencing track to have an independent step length, creating constantly evolving, vibrant, and dynamic musical phrases that completely overturn the stereotype that step sequencers can only produce repetitive patterns. Thesys is a 100% MIDI-compliant ultimate solution, perfectly capable whether controlling hardware synthesizers in the studio or driving multiple apps on an iPad.

Product Features

It also supports direct pitch recording from a MIDI keyboard and features a built-in scale lock function to ensure notes are always in key.
• Multi-dimensional Performance Sequencer: The unique Performance Sequencer integrates five powerful functions, including octave shifting, pitch bend with 20 preset curves, chord generation, Note Roll, and various humanizing random elements, adding rich dynamic expression to your phrases.
• Powerful CC Modulation: Provides up to eight independent CC modulation sequence tracks, where each step can be set with a value from 0-127 and mapped to any MIDI CC number, easily enabling complex automation control over synthesizer parameters.
• Real-time Performance Control (Action Section): Features 8 real-time triggerable performance effects, including Looping, Half-Time, Re-Trigger, and Tempo Break, allowing for dynamic changes in live performances or arrangements.
• Complex Polyrhythm Capability: Each independent sequence track (pitch, velocity, modulation, etc.) can be set with a different step length, for example, 16 steps for pitch combined with 15 steps for velocity, creating constantly evolving, never-repeating captivating phrases.
• Built-in Synthesizer Engine: The plugin includes a fully functional and practical synthesizer, allowing you to quickly brainstorm and test melodic ideas without opening other instruments, greatly simplifying the creative workflow.
• Full MIDI Integration & Export: VST2 and AAX versions support full MIDI output; functions as a MIDI FX in AU environments. Innovative MIDI export allows you to simply drag and drop sequences as MIDI files to your DAW or desktop.
