Red Earth Audio has released Rifflab for NI Reaktor.
Rifflab is a probability-based step sequencer capable of generating and playing up to 3 scale locked sequences simultaneously. Each sequence is generated in accordance with the probability parameters set by the user. The Probability sliders allow control of Pitch, Velocity, Note Length, Step Length, Progression, and up to 7 Modulation lines for each generated sequence. It is designed for producing basslines, leads, melodies, chords and arpeggios.
Each click of the Generate button will create an entire new sequence based on the probability parameters a user has set. Rifflab does not output any audio itself, but sends generated MIDI data to the chosen MIDI channel (s) to drive anything that allows MIDI input.
