Stepic has been selected as 'Favorite Utility' at the 2024 KVR Readers' Choice Awards. We thank everyone who voted for Stepic!

Sequencer Powerhouse

Stepic isn't just a powerful and versatile polyphonic step sequencer. 8 additional and fully integrated modulation sequencers make it a true sound shaping tool. Use them to automate any parameter (e.g. Filter Cutoff, Wavetable Position, Effect Amount) of your favorite synthesizers or effect devices. With its support for MIDI CC, Stepic offers you parameter control for both software plug-ins and hardware devices.

By assigning different tempos and sequence lengths to the modulation sequencers, Stepic lets you create deep, polyrhythmic parameter progressions that add a lot of motion and uniqueness to your sound. And if that's not enough, bring the 200+ random generators into play ;-)

Host / DAW Support

Stepic modulates device parameters by generating MIDI CC messages that it sends to both your software plugins and hardware devices. For optimal performance, ensure your host supports MIDI CC messages from Stepic. We've successfully tested Stepic with the following DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation):
