Vekte Public Beta Now Open

You might remember Vekte from this previous post. The public beta for it is now open. Details follow:

"Vekte is a generative MIDI sequencer plugin. It runs 31 algorithms — Euclidean, Markov, cellular automata, Xenakis sieves, Kaprekar, logistic maps, and more — and uses them to write patterns to drive your instruments.

Every channel has one note lane and four modulation lanes. Each lane runs its own algorithm and can target velocity, length, any CC, transpose, scale, chord, octave, or another lane's parameters, with sixteen slots per session (which can be either routed freely to any channel, including multiple slots controlling one single channel).

The engine is deterministic. Each pattern is hashed from its algorithm and parameters into a seed, so a given configuration always produces the same result. Patterns are exact and repeatable, and you can export any state as a preset string to recall later or hand to someone else (this part is still WIP, and will be improved massively in the next one).

It began as the software side of Rekke, our hardware sequencer, and the two share part of the same algorithmic core.

This is a public beta. VST3 only for now, on Windows and macOS. AU and an iOS AUv3 build are planned, but I want VST3 solid first. Free during the beta.

I'm after real feedback: what breaks, which hosts misbehave, what's confusing, what's missing. Bug reports and DAW-specific quirks are the most useful thing you can send (you have a form in the menu for direct feedback from the app).
