As electronic musicians, the team at Cre8audio has used every sequencer under the sun. They loved the speed of some and the randomness of others, but they hated having to choose. So, they built PROGRAMM.
It’s a creative playground that bridges the gap between human performance and algorithmic generation. Whether you’re meticulously stepping in/playing a melody or using real-time randomization to find new textures, PROGRAMM keeps up with your brain. And for those moments where you accidentally forgot to hit record before playing the best sequence you’ve ever written? Cre8audio built an always-ready recall function to save your soul (and your track).
Total Versatility: Step it in, play it in, or let the machine take the lead.
- Controlled Chaos: Dive into deep generative tools and real-time randomization that stay musical.
- Are you bilingual? Programm is: MIDI and/or CV Programm loves both!
- Be hands-on (and quickly) - with its 6 orange knobs you can tweak the main parameters per step with speed and without menu diving.
PROGRAMM is built for the sketch and the deep dive. Fast enough for your first idea, deep enough to take you the whole way.
Connections Connections Connections
MIDI and Control Voltage / CV: Designed for most applications Programm is well equipped with ample I/O. Connect your MIDI gear, or your synths that use CV/Gate with ease. Every sequencer channel can talk both MIDI and CV. Programm can clock or be clocked (IN and/or go out) via both CV and MIDI.
Sequencers O’plenty
It sounds like we’re talking about a Bond villain, but we’re just talking about how many dedicated sequencers are available at any given time.
- Via MIDI: 12 dedicated sequencers to be used with pitched or percussion instruments.
- Via CV/gate: You get 2 dedicated sequencers for pitched instruments & 8 more for percussion/drum triggers.
Feel free to mix and match. 007 won’t mind.
Options, options, and more performance options
Some people like to play things in real-time, others like to step things in. Others like to randomly generate and then tweak. Programm has got all that and more. Feel free to jump between all the approaches.
You can play things in with your own MIDI controller. Or how about making step patterns? Or even why not put Programm into keyboard mode, where its buttons become a keyboard locked to a scale of your choosing. When you’ve got a pattern you like, you can use the dedicated parameter controls for pitch, gate length, ratcheting, CV/CC, note offset, and step conditions to tweak more. And if that wasn’t enough tweaking, you can then add randomization to any step or sequence. It’s all possible!
Intuitive in your face display!
The pad grid is a big dot matrix display, keeping you quickly and clearly informed about crucial settings information, note values, keys, tuning, offsets, randomization modes, and so much more. It also is a rad lightshow!
5 Knobs = endless tweaking pleasure
The 5 orange knobs make instant and efficient step editing possible. No menu diving, just instant gratification. It’s so easy.
