MelodyBud is a unique AUv3 MIDI sequencer designed for musicians who want to explore the exciting world of generative sequencing capabilities. Unlike traditional sequencers, MelodyBud allows you to randomise notes and velocity, as well as adjust the octave and gate length of your steps. You can even add ratchets and glide effects to make your sequences more interesting.

One standout feature of MelodyBud is its parameter-locking capability. This allows you to set individual randomisation values for each step, which helps in the rich melodies creation process. To enter the parameter-locking mode, simply tap the step's number at the top of the sequencer. In this mode, both the step and control knobs will turn orange, indicating that you’re ready to make adjustments. While in parameter-lock mode, any control you edit will apply specifically to that step instead of the global configuration. You can exit this mode by tapping the step's number again.

MelodyBud also supports over 40 music scales, and you can even make real-time scale changing while the sequencer is running. With its AUv3 plugin functionality, you can change scales using AU parameters and automate or modulate other settings at the same time.

In its standalone version, MelodyBud features Ableton Link synchronization. This allows you to stay in sync with other Ableton Link enabled apps, making it easier to collaborate or perform live.

It’s important to know that MelodyBud is a MIDI application. The standalone version includes an optional internal synth that can be enabled or disabled in the settings menu. However, to use the AUv3 plugin, it must be hosted within a compatible audio app. Suitable hosts include AUM, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, Logic Pro, Nanostudio, Drambo, and apeMatrix.

With MelodyBud, you’ll find powerful tools for musical note sequencing and MIDI note editing. Users can enjoy step sequencer functionality that enables dynamic melody generation and creative music composition. The app also places a strong emphasis on the automation of parameters, which can enhance your music production tools and workflow.

In summary, MelodyBud is an AUv3 MIDI sequencer that offers a wealth of features for music creation. Whether you're adjusting notes or exploring unique sounds, this app is designed to assist you in creating captivating musical pieces.
