Snake-like step sequencing

  • SnakeBud offers a unique snake-like approach to MIDI sequencing.

  • Create melodic patterns that twist and turn like a snake across the grid.

  • Draw sequence paths by swiping across the grid for intuitive pattern creation.

  • The sequencer automatically keeps notes within the selected scale for musical results.

  • Create complex patterns that would be difficult with traditional linear sequencers.

Grid-based creativity

Grid-based creativity

  • Work with a flexible grid system where rows represent notes and columns represent time.

  • Choose from grid sizes ranging from 4x4 to 16x16 for simple or complex sequences.

  • The grid automatically displays scale notes for harmonious pattern creation.

  • Customize grid appearance and behavior to match your creative style.

Snake behaviors

  • Choose from different snake movement behaviors for varied musical outcomes.

  • Control snake speed, direction, and turning behavior for diverse patterns.

  • Set the snake to grow or shrink over time for naturally evolving sequences.

  • Use the 'bite tail' option to create perfect loops or allow continuous evolution.
