HY-Plugins HY-MPS3 is a new advanced MIDI sequencer plugin for macOS, Linux, and Windows, plus a free stripped-down version.
Almost every DAW nowadays has a sequencer that allows you to program notes quickly and easily. These are usually rather classic and simple.
If you want to go more complex, you can use third-party plugins. One of these is the new HY-MPS3.
HY-Plugins HY-MPS3
The HY-MPS3 is the successor of the HY-MPS2 sequencer/arpeggiator plugin. It’s a free update for existing users of the previous version. Like the HY-MPS2, it is block-based and consists of three parts: block chainer, the sequencer/arpeggiator block, and MIDI FX.
The sequencer/arpeggiator has eight blocks where each has an adjustable 8-step sequencer with various parameters: pitch, chord, scale FX, slur, octave, velocity, gate, chance, step divide, and more. Plus, you have eight snapshots per block.
Besides the sequencer, there is also the arpeggiator section with more or less the same parameter set. Then, you have the block chainer with up to 64 slots that will trigger these blocks with various playback options.
For example, you can adjust the playback direction for each block or add repeats, giving you very complex sequences. You can use nine different MIDI FXs for additional fun, including octave, transpose, scale, harmonizer, range, velocity, notepad, chance, and compressor. Handy, the UI has many elements that can be color customized.
HY-Plugins HY-MPS3 Free
Good news for all free plugin hunters. There is also a free version of the HY-Plugins HY-MPS3. It’s a stripped-down version with only the sequencer mode, three sequencer blocks, and three MIDI FX modules. The MIDI clip export functionality is also not available.
First Impression
A deep sequencer/arpeggiator plugin that goes beyond the capabilities of classic DAW sequencers. Looks like a lot of fun.
HY-Plugins HY-MPS3 is available now for an introductory price of $35/40€ instead of $50/56€. It runs as a VST, VST3, and AU plugin on macOS, Linux, and Windows. HY-MPS3 is a free update for owners of HY-MPS/MPS2.
