Many DAWs offer standard arpeggiators and chord generators to 'bring life' to your MIDI sequences, but often these plug-ins are lacking on the usability and flexibility fronts.
This is where Sugar Bytes' Thesys comes in - here we have an all-in-one MIDI sequencing tool designed with performance firmly in mind.
Pros:
- Great fun to jam with.
- Geared for live use.
- Versatile modulation section.
- Highly customisable sequences.
Cons:
- Slightly fussy interface.
- A few minor bugs and omissions.
Verdict:
Thesys blows away bog-standard arpeggiators and the like, and when it comes to live work, it really shines.
Rating: 4/5
