Full Bucket Music has released SequencAir, a freeware step sequencer with a built-in virtual analog synthesizer. The product is available as a standalone application and a VST plugin for digital audio workstations on PC and Mac.
SequencAir is a virtual step sequencer with per-step controls for note, octave, velocity, gate, step skipping, and mute parameters, along with two freely assignable MIDI CC parameter lanes. These two lanes can be used to control any pair of parameters in an external MIDI-compatible instrument or effect. The interface layout is very simple and intuitive, making SequencAir a great starting point for users who haven’t used step sequencers in the past.

The sequencer can be synced to the host application or run in free tempo mode. There are multiple playback modes available, along with sequence transpose functionality. Also included is the swing feature for creating shuffled sequences. The plugin can save custom presets for later use and comes with a selection of factory presets to help new users get started with the software
In addition to the step sequencer, SequencAir also features a monophonic virtual analog synthesizer. The synthesizer module can be switched off if the user wants to use the sequencer for pairing with external plugins or hardware devices. The built-in synth follows the basic single-oscillator architecture with three waveform types (square, saw, noise), a resonant filter, a very simple envelope, velocity sensitivity, and portamento. Paired with an external delay effect, the synthesizer module can be used to create classic analog-style arpeggio sequences and basslines.
SequencAir can be downloaded completely free of charge from the product page linked below. It can operate as a standalone application or a VST plugin on compatible DAW applications on PC and Mac.
SequencAir is available for free download via Full Bucket Music (2.2 MB download size, ZIP archive, 32-bit & 64-bit VST plugin format for Windows & macOS).
