With its DAW-like piano roll, Phrasebox gives you detailed control over playback, far beyond traditional step-based arpeggiators. Notes you play are mapped onto the editor's rows using customisable rules, letting you select notes by pitch, timing, velocity, or at random. You can also add static notes with a fixed pitch.
Each phrase can have unlimited rows, each with its own rule for note selection. Modifiers like transposition and MIDI channels allow layered, complex sequences.
The powerful editor allows advanced phrase editing, including repeating notes, variable row lengths, and phrases of any length or time signature. The controller editor handles multiple automation lanes with multi-channel output and detailed curve shaping.
Additional features include lock-to-key mode to keep transpositions in scale, flexible playback trigger modes, and a phrase generation tool for instant inspiration.
Phrasebox goes beyond traditional arpeggiators, letting you create polyphonic, multi-channel phrases from simple MIDI chords.
Incoming notes are mapped to rows in Phrasebox based on rules you define, making it easy to build complex sequences and explore new ideas. Change the notes you play, and the output reshapes instantly.
Edit notes with complete freedom, without fixed steps or restrictions on timing and length.
Phrases can be as short as a beat or as long as a full arrangement, and playback probabilities help keep them organic and evolving.
Create polyrhythms and Euclidean patterns with note repeats that follow a grid or even spacing.
Each row has independent loop points, and phrases can loop infinitely or to a set count.
Add expression to your phrases with controller lanes for any MIDI CC. Automate sustain pedals, filters, pitch bends, and more, across multiple channels.
Phrasebox can even operate in controller-only mode, letting you add automation to your existing MIDI.
Work with unlimited rows, each with its own rule. Use different MIDI channels and transpositions, even when supplying just one note.
Organise your phrases with custom names, colours, and layout to manage complex polyphonic phrases.
