Kaleidon Sequencer
Turn the effects you already own into something you can play. Kaleidon loads up to eight VST3 effects into one serial rack. Decide exactly when each effect appears, disappears, or cuts through your track with tempo-synced patterns, MIDI notes, or host automation.
Make the effects you own playable
Load and reorder up to eight VST3 effects. Kaleidon gives each effect its own pattern or MIDI note, so it acts only where you choose.
Valhalla VintageVerb
Bring reverb in on a backbeat, selected snare hits, or the final word of a vocal phrase.
Soundtoys EchoBoy
Catch the last sixteenth note of every second bar for delay throws without drawing automation.
Soundtoys Decapitator
Hit selected kicks or syncopated bass notes with distortion while the surrounding notes stay clean.
Eventide Blackhole
Open a huge space for one downbeat, guitar chord, or cinematic impact, then return to dry.
Output Portal
Fragment scattered hi-hats, percussion hits, or vocal syllables instead of processing the whole part.
FabFilter Saturn 2
Alternate clean and saturated steps so distortion follows the groove.
These are examples using separately owned VST3 plug-ins; the named effects are not included with Kaleidon.
Give every effect its own timing and behavior
Build a tempo-synced pattern, play your rack from MIDI, or automate the Wet level from your DAW.
Patterns for each effect
Set 8 to 24 steps at your DAW’s tempo. Each lane has its own pattern and can move at normal, half, or double speed.
Bring an effect in, or cut it out
THROW engages the effect on lit steps. CUT removes it on lit steps, creating rhythmic gaps in an otherwise active effect.
Shape each hit
Set a different Wet level for every lit step. Gate Shape controls Length, Attack, and Release for sharp hits or smooth transitions.
Find a new pattern quickly
Generate a pattern for one lane or the whole rack. Adjust its density while keeping your effects, lane settings, and other choices intact.
Trigger effects from MIDI
Assign each lane a note. Play a full-wet hit or use velocity to set its strength. Hold to engage the effect; release to return dry. Host Wet automation is also available.
Keep complete performance racks
Save the loaded effects, rack order, patterns, step count, lane speeds, Wet settings, Gate Shape, and MIDI assignments in presets and DAW projects.
See the whole effect rack as it plays
Every lane stays visible, including its pattern, step Wet levels, THROW/CUT behavior, and gate shape.
