Aqeel Aadam Sound has announced an update to the modular control ecosystem that allows you to build chains of sequencers, controllers, and utilities.
Version 1.0.4 of Waymaker comes with various new features and improvements, including robust syncing options for increased usability, an overhauled Beat sequencer, and a new Probability sequencer.
You can think of it like a modular synth, a pedalboard, or an effects chain in a DAW — except everything is contained in one plugin. With Waymaker’s modules, you can create a customizable chain that produces unique, complex, and evolving musical patterns.
Changes in Waymaker v1.0.4
- Robust syncing controls for keeping Waymaker synchronized to your DAW. Waymaker can now be started and stopped via MIDI notes, CC messages, and parameter control.
- Beat sequencer has a new “Morph” mode, for creating rhythms that randomly change over time.
- Beat sequencer also has a new mode for following pitches, for producing ratchets and modifying the timing of other melodies.
- The Probability module now contains a fully fledged sequencer, for creating a sequence of probabilities with an independent speed.
- When a sequencer is progressed by MIDI notes, output notes can be held until the next note is received, for a variety of note lengths.
- Changing Morph sequencer’s range no longer changes the pitch of locked stages.
- All sliders in the UI have a default value, which can be double clicked to restore.
- Sequence lengths and Beat’s Euclidean options can now be controlled by parameters.
- Per-stage note length and velocity can now go up 1,000% of the normal value for a broader range.
- Buttons for loading presets are now animated and more obvious.
- Sequence slider popups now show the number of semitones a note is away from the root.
- New presets.
- Branch sequencers now handle duplicated notes better.
- Some issues with resetting sequencers are now patched.
- Some minor UI bugs.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST3/AU), Waymaker is priced $50 USD. The update is free for existing users.
