Apollo turns simple note ideas into lively, syncable two-lane MIDI patterns with per-step pitch/velocity control, arpeggio modes and creative randomization.
Description
Think of Apollo as a compact pattern workstation for MIDI: two independent lanes of sixteen slots each that send notes and expression to your synths. You can shorten patterns to any length between 1 and 16 steps, sculpt pitch and velocity per position, and toggle an arpeggio-style playback to turn single chords into moving lines. A built-in randomize option helps spark new motifs when you’ve hit a creative wall.
Why you’ll reach for Apollo:
- Dual outputs let you route two separate MIDI streams (A and B) to different instruments or channels.
- Fine control over pitch and dynamics for each step gives your patterns musical nuance.
- Flexible timing: run Apollo in sync with your DAW or use its own internal clock, with each lane able to follow different rates when locked to the host tempo.
- Quickly create evolving sequences with arpeggio modes and a randomization tool that keeps things fresh.
This is ideal for beatmakers, synth designers, and anyone who likes building layered rhythmic or melodic sequences without leaving their MIDI pipeline. It works as a lightweight VST2 on Windows and fits neatly into sessions where hands-on pattern tweaking and fast experimentation matter.
