Some interesting highlights:

"Discover Squarp powerful MIDI effects

Pyramid integrates state-of-the-art real-time MIDI effects. On each track you can stack 4 effect engines – including quantization, swing, delay, randomizer, glitch, humanizer, harmonizer, arpeggiator... and many more to come.

The FX manager makes it very simple to set and remove an effect, or to change its place in the chain. Perfect for live performances as well as studio composition."

"Euclidean grooves

Pyramid offers one algorithmic euclidean sequencer engine per track, auto generating uncommon and rich rhythmic patterns.

Change the number of total steps, the number of filled steps, the step width, rotate the pattern, all of this on the fly. The displayed euclidean circle helps you to visualize the pattern."

"Polyrhythms!

Pyramid is fully polyrhythmic. This means that you can set different and unusual time signatures on each track, to create shifted-beat sequences. Polyrhythmic constructions will bring new flavours to your productions.

You can set a track with a 4/4 standard signature, and for the other tracks 5/4, 6/8, 15/8... The direct access button enables you to change the left and right numbers without limitation. It's an incredible and easy way to add complexity to your songs!

To go further in experimentation, add or remove steps to your measure to create polymetric tracks and irrational rhythms."
