Concept
Consequence is a VST/AU compatible synthesizer/sequencer plugin.
The word Synquencer describes the
combination of a powerful synthesizer and complex step sequencer which
creates pitch-, modulation-, and trigger data.
Consequence uses 16 chords to play them in sequence, extract melodies
to trigger a unique sound section with lots of available instrument
sounds and intelligent trigger interpretation. The Consequence VST
plugin sends MIDI data, so all kinds of MIDI-compatible gear can be
controlled by Consequence.
Sound Section
Three individual sound generators
called Instruments are available. Each one of these Instruments can
play its own interpretation from the existing sequence due to
individual trigger settings and volume envelopes. The instruments work
with a sampling library which has been created exclusively for
Consequence. 237 sounds are currently available, recorded from first
class natural instruments and synthesizers. Also there´s a multi
effects device available containing Reverse, Chorus, Phaser, Delay and
Reverb effects.
The final stage of the Consequence sound
section is the master section which offers tuning features, a fine
master compressor and a kickdrum which plays a 4/4 rhythm. The kickdrum
is a friendly helper to keep the groove while you are creating
sequences, also it can be sent to the compressor explusively to glue
the mix together or let the level drop at each quarter note.
Sequencer Section
The central part of the Consequence
surface is taken by the Sequencer Section. The eight 32-step-sequencers
represent the ultimate playground for groovedesign. For each
Instrument, the Filter and the FX section there is a modulation track.
Beside the classic gate sequencer track, there are the chord sequencer
and the performance sequencer which arrange chords and melodies. Up to
16 chords can be created and stored in the Chord Memory and all will be
called by the Chord Sequencer.
The Peformance part of
the sequencer lets you to choose for each step if a chord or a single
note plays and offers simple but powerful methods to create pretty
complex music out of a handful of chords. Notes can be held for a
number of steps or triggered multiple times on a single step.
Additionally, each Instrument can decide for itself if its triggered
exclusively by full chords or by single notes and if it plays each gate
step or each second, third..and so on. All sequencer data is sent to
MIDI out, so you can trigger any instrument, hardware or plugin, with
Consequence. Finally, with Consequence you can create song structures
from chords and melodies in a fresh and intuitive way.
