blöcks - creative synthesizer with unique drawing-based sequencer for Ableton Live

Get creative with a new way of playing!

Draw out your sequence on the grid and hear how it affects the blöcks.
Each colored block moves a corresponding sub-sequence, affecting the synthesizer engine. The engine consists of:

a pitch, velocity, and sustain per-step control
a type-blend between deep sine wave with a "kicky" envelope, noisy hi-hat, and punchy percussion
wavefolding and FM
resonant low-pass filter
dusty phase-distortion
amplitude, ring, and synced-resonator modulation
comb-filter based reverb with adjustable sharpness
synced delay

Use a new, unique way of coming up with new sequence patterns by drawing them out. Click or drag blocks to draw the sequence, add hold or ratchet icons to make sequencer stop or ratchet at required step. Connect blocks together to make them sound at the same time with the connector.

Use midi-map function to control additional effects, or run a separate blöcks-midi edition to use the sequencer with any other plug-in.
