Sugar Bytes Eloquence

"Eloquence is an extremely powerful and intuitive MIDI stepsequencer plugin, giving you control over just about all aspects of your favorite MIDI devices. Use Eloquence to create varied and organic bass lines, screaming leads, pulsating chords, and organic pad sounds in the studio or on stage.
For live musicians, Eloquence provides an extremely versatile palette of performance options which can be triggered right from your MIDI keyboard: you can transpose, manipulate, twist up, mutate, and mangle your patterns without even getting near your computer.
Eloquence is a plugin which can be used with any major Windows or Mac VST or AU host. This includes Cubase, Logic, Kore, and Ableton Live, among others. No other MIDI sequencer plugin offers you the ease and power of Eloquence. It is 100% MIDI compliant and therefore provides the ultimate MIDI sequencing solution.

Eloquence will be released on August 15 and will cost 99€ / 129 USD.

Registered ERA users will receive a crossgrade offer for 69€ / 89 USD.

Sequencer Tracks
Pitch
The pitch sequencer works in relation to the root key and transposes it by +/- 12 semitones.
It can work in chromatic mode or in scaled mode which expands the tonal capabilities a lot.
In addition, the pitch sequencer has a flexible recording function.
Lock
Lock is part of the pitch sequencer. An active step deactivates the midi transposing. This is useful for keeping important notes and chords in key while transposing the sequence.
Gate
The Gate Sequencer creates notes and determines their velocity.
Mute
The Mute Sequencer is part of the Gate Sequencer and mutes the selected step.
Gate Time
The Gate Time Sequencer determines how long a note is held. Notes can be held up to four times the duration of a step.
Octave
This sequencer moves the pitch the pitch by +/- 2 octaves.
Pitchbend
Here you can select from 12 pitch bend figures to be engaged..
Chord
A Chord is generated using the current note in the pitch sequencer as the root note. Six Variations and four wrap-arounds for major and minor plus six special chords like diminished and augmented are available.
Break
This sequencer lets you set a multi-trigger at 2, 3, or 4 times the normal sequencer speed, playing the current scale up or downwards or just repeating the current note. 18 breaks are available.
Random
Each sequencer step can be replaced by a random value. Minor and major chords can be individually randomized to maintain the harmonic structure.

Action Section
Gatetime
The Gate Time can be increased or decreased, depending on how long you press the button.
Velo Gate
The note will only play if it is above the selected velocity threshold.
Looper
The selected part of the sequence will be looped.
Slowdown
The sequence slows down until it come to a dead stop.
Retrigger
Re-trigger the sequence by re-triggerpressing the button; upon release, the sequencer continues at its normal position..
Halftime
The sequence will play at half speed.
Octave Up
The sequence will play one octave higher as long as you press the button.
Mute
Mutes all data output.

Special workaround for sending MIDI with the AU plugin
Instant keyboard control for Transpose, Pattern Select, Action Section

  1. Did I miss something or did they not include a random seq feature?
